Black Savage (The Kulture Remix) Lyrics

My brother's getting locked up

Sister's getting mopped up

So much pressure on me

Get the green chopped up

Radio Won't give me airtime

Think I need to top up

Crying every time I think

About how the system robs us

Even got us believing black

Is not a color

The grounds not the only way

For them to keep us under

I'm Black and I'm proud

That's what being colored's about

Say it out loud

If you ever had a doubt

Look at our economy

Do you truly see equality

The need for it's got us

Loving money wholeheartedly

Causing a racial divide

All of this crime

Being stereotyped

All of the time

Hurt all of our pride

Lands gentrified

My people moved aside

Still too terrified

To come out and

Put up a fight

I'm tired of this pain

Nothing from our art to gain

Just the same

Corporate artists you see on stage

Afraid to lay their

Hearts on a page

Pardon my rage

But how can you be

In the publics face

And not feel ashamed

But it's that top 1% we've

Got to blame

The way our society's setup

It's like we're modern slaves

Abandons your dreams

To stay afloat day-to-day

Give you freedom of speech

But then take it away

The Black man is great

Something history won't say

I'm a descendent of the Khoi

Don't forget the name

Ethiopia, Kush, Alkebulan

Wanna send us back

To where we came from

Cause we're just Savages

Well here's my ass to kiss

I'm made of gold my nigga

I go back home, I'm a goldmine nigga

We taking all the land back they stole

My nigga

Cause what you reap now

Is what you sow my nigga

Where's your soul my nigga

One life to live

Just don't settle

One life I'm a live forever

Stand for something

Fall for nothing, no

Rest In Peace to the dead

That's on my soul

You only die once

And then you're gone

Who thought we'd be fighting

All along

Who knows right from the wrongs

Truth comes to the light behind it all

Justice for Toufiek Johnson

Collins Khosa

This stuff fills me with hatred

The more I

We act when we hear bout cases

Should be on a daily bases

No such thing as seldom racist

Don't look away cause

The DA's tryna pass by-laws

About where we can lam

Or get searched for fun

While officials supply the guns

Getting our mense to kill each other

Monopolizing our land

And keeping us in hunger

Afraid of supporting our brothers

See their progression

Means lack of mine

But that's the mentality they place

In the back of our minds

Our police killing our own kind

In Cape Town we're born with a 6th

Sense to go with both eyes

In Mzansi you could lose your life

At any time

But who cares about the people

When the lands a goldmine

I got faith in Ramaphosa

But I won't lie

If we don't get change

I'm a protest whole time

Till we hang you politicians up

By your tie

The less you act

The more we all die

Look at that

There's a war going on outside
