Lyrics: Mzimazisi Mpofu/Thami Mathabiswana
Music: William Stephanus
Alright here we go
One two
Check it one two
The people needed bread and I provide
I can’t forget the place I came from
And I cannot hide
When I see my people cheering
I just come alive
The village raised me with a spear of pride and all my people down
Our parents struggled for our brighter future
Negro spirituals and hallelujahs
The prayers never worked
Still unallowed to change the constitution
You see what’s happened
And there’s no solution
Can’t even walk the earth
Mother Africa listen to my prayer
Bring peace and prosperity to people everywhere
The future generations leverage will be our black heritage
A lot of black heroes and even a black president
All the white noise about my beauty is irrelevant
Nappy hair, nose big, tone of rich melanin
Look at the gift god gave to me
And when I make it we all make it
Set my people free
Volatile the style is regardless
We just gaurd less this life holds the carnage
Till my palms rest the mics burn they tarnish
For my people, the system got me a lethal
Reppin them white collars step to defeat you
In this life no never nothing stay equal
Politicians agendas I see through
My lense X-rays my third curtain truth proof
Coz the truth could never hurt it
My cyphers verdict me
I keep it burning
Take the wheel swerving
It’s just exactly how it is on the surface money be the purpose
I got the dunno whatchu call it
But the devil doesn’t like it
He tried to take me off my path with everything enticing
You’re a diamond in the rough
got a tough road ahead
Don’t be ashamed to claim
you’re the greatest alive or dead
Marley taught me everything will be alright
Prince showed me how it feels when doves cry
PAC SAID TO HIT EM TO STAY ALIVE
I’m immortalised already in the street
And now it’s time to take over and change the industry
But now I flip for my city
Unknown they stay burning with me
If they don’t love me then pity coz now it’s time to shine
All the applause and the credit
Always thought never said that it’s time to get mine
It’s time to get mine
Hey uhh it’s time get mine
Hey uhh it’s time get mine
It’s time to get my paper
It’s time to get my
Eeeeyyy uh
