Black Genocide ft. Mpho Manare Lyrics

The revolution will be socialized

As my eyes go colorblind

And Twitter fingers get itchy

As Moses separates Black truth from White lies

I said

The revolution has been compromised

I saw Martin Luther King on Tinder

Trying to shoot his shot with a slay queen just for him to be euthanized

Found Mandela

The revolution won't be televised

It's going live on social media

Streams of Black blood flow on the streets, that's Haemophilia

Cops killing kids, heroes falling from paedophilia

Depression was the case, when you die that's when they believe in you

All we do is #PrayFor Paris, Haiti and Syria

Zimbabwe, South Africa, Palestine and Libya

Civil unrest, civil wars spanning the globe

Ordinary civilians feeling foreign when in their homes

It's only optics

Preach it, but seldom practice Ubuntu

African stories told by American's speaking Zulu

Turning 25 feels like a bid, word to Sesulu

Pro-Black, but only one Black on the board of Hulu (uh)

Caught in a net, so they resort to the drugs

Exposing online they're on lines

Who's going to pull the plug?

We used to want to be the dealer

Now we glorify the user

Supposed be her protector

But he became the abuser

What a loser

Supposed to be a father but he became a child molester

What a mess up

I guess

As Blacks our fathers never believed in us

Black Jesus was found asking for change

And spitting verses from his Bible at Stanstraus

Melanin is a stain on us

Too feminine?

I'm sorry some of us didn't have fathers to raise to us

How could a road separate a neighborhood from the slums?

Economic divide's depriving not the whole, but the some

Teachers tell the youth you can be it

That's only if you believe it

But to reach it

You later learn the system you have beat it

Shatter the glass in order pass beyond the ceiling

Man is making diseases

We're growing further from healing

Parents having conversations dealing with conduct

Freedom is but a word, it's really a social construct

Babies being cautioned of all the eventualities

Judging one another, the basis is sexuality

Spiritual warfare, they're weaponizing religion

Nurses are getting fire, communities sign petitions

Nothing is natural, even the food we consume

Looking in the face of doom from womb to the tomb

Cosmetic surgery changed the definition of buying face

Black child, make your mark on this world

And find your place

(Yeah)

Pardon me if you think I'mma lie

But I'm from a city where politicians are the celebrities

ABC, DC

Shit

We might have to go through the whole alphabet for a bit of change

Even a hobo will probably give us a better change

Bitter tastes in our mouths

As youth, as our future goes to waste

But hey

Shit

(Look)

Pardon me if you're thinking I'mma lie

But I'm really from a city where dreamers, they go to die

It's sad you've got to leave and that's if you want to make it

Crawling out of a hole in a wall, cry my beloved nation

Youth shut the city down, cops want to arrest them

We've got bigger issues and leaders they won't address them

It's a new year but it ain't different from the last

All this talk about the future

They ain't dealing with the past

I ain't here preach, I'm just saying we've got a problem

It's rooted in the system, but who's willing to stop them?

Had a head-start on Covid and what'd we do?

That's right, nothing

And that's the truth

Letter to the leaders, you all need to get it together

I pray for the day I can say that it's getting better

The whole world is worse off than ever

Never heard of global warming

Now I'm worried about the weather

(Damn)
