I just feel the same whenever I write
A glass for who died in vain to save us from plight
I have to change my ways before I change my life
You're a printed piece of a paper 'cause you're just my type
Save us from us, deliver us from evil
Help me save all of my people
'Cause I'm woke, you're asleep
Covid-19 got you believin' you're sheep
Just open up a book and you read
And you'll realise that in real life, you're truly deceived
I'm no preacher, I'm no teacher but I do it better than those who got PhD's
I'd draft down a few promising essays
Of how we've been hurt and oppressed for decades
You may be qualified but won't conscientise, you teach but I educate
I'm here to grow minds not just entertain
Right-wing vs Left-wing but this ain't a soccer field
I dream of company surrounded by liberals
If you're a revolutionary and make it to 40 it's nothing short of a miracle
I think about Lembede, I think about Biko, I always think about Muyembe
I think about Josina, I think about how to be a great leader
If you read through the Manuscripts
You'd realise that being African is actually fabulous
Even though we're oppressed, we have a lot of privileges
We defeated the British, studied the eye and we built a lot of pyramids
Neo-colonialism is still an issue presented by countries like China
They're doing what Europe did prior
Before our liberation, they came with no invitation, I know what they truly desire
I'm a tree that'll grow into a forest
So lost in my mind space, I believe I'm in orbit
This ain't a speech, ain't a rap it's a poem I have to recite
I am the past, the present, the future ooh what a delight
Like Donald Woods when he met Steve Biko
His mind changed and saw him as a hero

So praise the long dead
'Cause they're all dead
But the son's next
His words are a success
Boy I'm smarter than a student
Guide my people through the Movement
Never blinded by vaginas, boy I'm sailing like Newton
Guide my people through the desert, got you thinking I'm Moses
Got the mind, got the mic, you're being led by a poet
Give you freedom, give you love like Thomas Sankara
I got a son, I got a wife so I don't need another
Will I die like George Floyd?
When I try to be a voice?
Or will I live, be IIconic like ms Peyton Royce?
It took the death of a man for you to see the truth?
2020 been the year that's revealing the abuse
Collin Khoza, Nat' Julius, Andile Mbuthu, End SARS.
Black Lives Matter! but this breaks hearts
You cried for George Floyd but not for us
You weep for people over the Atlantic
You wept for X but don't know Lumumba
Don't know Samora but wept for Bru Luther
It shows you don't see us as equal
Think about America better than your people
You idolise them but disown your own heroes?
You think highly of a bunch of stars and an eagle?
I write how it is I don't ever have to change
Follow me, I'll guide you and help you mend your ways
I'm not a holy stake so please don't make me cross
Unattracted to your leaders, boy I'm not a blind moth
I'm not gonna switch just to make it up the charts
I'm gon' make it up the charts without breakin' my heart
I hope you find peace and love in my wisdom
Would she stick around if I get imprisoned?
Would she stay or cheat and leave 'cause of distance
I wonder, how will they view me when it's all said and done?
Will they quote words of the "Son of the Sun?"
Will they take me to the top and make me number one?
Or let me die just to become another one?
How many leaders you need but leave them for death?
Is it Biko, is it Hani, is it Luyanda M?
I speak a lot of sense but I'm still called White
Feel like a stowaway 'cause I write off plight
I'm the soul of revolution, it needs me to walk
Always on my knees 'cause I'm talkin' to God
I make money off my visions of course I'm a prophet
I speak from my mind I'm conscious
Soul
