Black Savage - The Kulture Remix
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
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
