Yeah
I might need your lighters up for this one, wa ntshwara
Yuh
(Damn, Sundae)
Yeah
3 decades later, but yet it seems
I still struggle to fathom just what it means
Some hustle, struggle to make the means
Such a rude awakening from your dreams
Schemes, plots, memes
Streams and machines
False information, corrupted regimes
Tell-lie-vision on the screen
Showing you violence so it Stays in your genes
Yeah
Man-made beliefs
Man wrote it down
So man made you believe
Huh
Kinda tricky, we all agree, right?
But
Don't believe it until we see, right?
(Right)
But if police in the hood, then we ain't see nothing
This happens every week, so we don't feel nothing
Black man dies and he leaves nothing
Like a dead tree
Leaves nothing
Or maybe the problem is in the roots
Maybe the simulation is broken, and so it loops
The pain, the pain
The minds in chains
Somebody tell me why life's so strange
Jabba tell Pac there's still no change
Niggas is still killing each other
There's no change
In fact
Niggas is savages, now
There's more rage
There's fire in the streets
It's more than just a phase
Yuh
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray
For
Change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me
(Sho)
Ke rapella lelapa la me
(Mmm)
Pray
For
(Ahh yes)
Change in the world
I know what I don't wanna be
I can see it in my mind's eye
An old broke head with knowledge living off hindsight
Check blindspot, no Fetty Wap you can't blindside
Bottomline-obsessed crabs in a bucket get sidelined
Had to Tompo this life ting like it's Muay Thai
School of the hard knocks, Yizo Yizo alumni
You wasn't wit me Satane ang rwaletse kwai-kwai
Refugee mentalities
Get handouts from fly by nights
Got us livin' on our tip toes
Get votes from our people and leavin' 'em piss poor
Failed by the system, putting their faith in the pistol
After the fact you posing like
Ha le na di issue
Her dzaddy live a double life, I ain't saying schizo
He posture for the church this nigga
His demons sit close
Pay close attention, read scripture, my nigga
Get your
Mind up
Body and soul
Don't let 'em get you
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray
For
Change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray
For
Change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray
For
Change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray
For
Change in the world
