Never knew that this shit would be hard
Signing one's life away, evidently be scarred
From all of the pain
And who do I blame?
Except myself, believing that there was change in the game
Who got Makeba shit?
Who got MaBrrr shit?
Why are we behaving like this talent ain't it?
And yet I'm in the label reppin' SA til I die
The others never cared, they use our own to tell us lies
Black men, is this the plight?
Sisters, put you down when the end is still in sight
I'm scared for my future kids, daughter in specific
She gon' learn it all, but she'll hate what is her image
You young and you blacker
Your hair don't need relaxer
You blacker than the panther
You louder with your laughter
You clean and you don't ever have to feel you don't belong
Luther King, Nkanyezi, you're my little morning star huh
And we fall, into the night
And we crawl
I might shiver, holy liquor
But I'm forever, forever
Yoh
An artist ain't a person at all
They laughing even harder when we stumble and fall
I really wanna know when it's happy and stuff
They sayin' that we winning but it's rigging and bluff
I want my mama to see me in moments
I want the camera steady with focus
Falling to greed, so please do what you mean
I wanna sing, wanna bleed for my peeps
And we fall, into the night
And we crawl
I might shiver, holy liquor
But I'm forever, forever
And we fall, into the night
And we crawl
I might shiver, holy liquor
But I'm forever, forever
