Nat Turner

And he get's excited-
No matter how hard you try to be, here's what they think about you
You and your people, you talk about reparations
The reparations that you talk about
Your people already got your reparations
Your reparations, your reparations came in the form of a man named Barack Obama
My advice to you, my advice to you, if you don't like it here in America
Planes leave every hour, go back to Africa
Go back to Africa, go back!
You and your people

This feels like we're going back to the future
I'm on my way now
History repeating itself like every two months
Man this shit is getting played out
I wish Kanye West woulda met Credo Mutwa (a mo tsenye verstaan)
Eish, akare kea mona ka Maybach ko Kuruman
(You ain't got the answers, Sway)
That would be too much
Ana re lea nkutlwa, eintlek, dintshang?
The lost ones are gone, I hope we win some
Dumb as fuck even though you seem smart
Go back to Africa is actually not an insult (nah)
That would be a dream come true
The trip ain't cheap, the seats, plus food
The animals are wild and the scenes are cool
And plus you get to dance like you see us do
Man, we live a cool ass life
For instance, I was in the hood last night
Watch out, pull up in a cool ass ride
Chill, everything good, that's right (that's right)
'Cause nobody gon' take my life here (nah)
'Specially for 'caine and some light gear
Kwe', you ever wanna make that move?
Just send me a little text, my nigga, and I'll be right there
Skrrrr!
I'ma scoop you up in a Beam
You could buy a crib in Cape Town for the sea (nice)
Or we could set you up in Durban
Summer all year the weather is not a burden (nice)
You choose, it's a win win
Yeah, yeah, however the cookie crumble
On that note, I would like to remind every single one'a y'all
That Africa is not a jungle
Bitch!

Watch how we do it independent
Focused on African Independence
In any competition bro we winnin'
You ain't felt this free in a minute
Illegally a slave in prison
Give your money to decide about amendments
Nat Turner with the burner or business
Let's get free for a livin'

We will never get freedom from imitating oppressors
Divide and conquer keep us from innovating together
We sick of these aggressors, insinuating they're better
The algorithm is racist, discrimination is meta
We do it for the culture and call it a Sankofa
They venomous, labelled a snake, can't cover middle passage
Jump on the boat when they came over
Colonial hangover, slave owner, your reign over
We talkin' and spittin' in slang-tongue
We walk in a rhythm, we bang drums
They used to cut off our feet so we can't run
Anger stranger than fruit of the tree that we swang from
The darker the berry the sweeter the juice
You don't need to believe when you lead with the truth
They cite you as proof when they need to recruit
You bein' a puppet, they speakin' thru you
We came a long way from Adidas to like Yeezus
Can't stain the right sneakers to pray to a white Jesus
Michelangelo was commissioned by white leaders
To paint him with white features
Behavin' just like creatures
They some motherfuckin' monsters
The Cole brothers as nazi as Tucker Carlson
We never ignorant and we gettin' these goals accomplished
You never gotta light the weed to be conscious
Sway handled the efforts and responses
Niggas ain't free cuz they think we need sponsors
Too many young rappers in the courtroom
Notice how they try to keep us in boxes
Africa unite, they can't stop us
Reparations now, and hands off asylum
Blackstar we poppin' in Ghana
Runnin' in thru the plaza
Yellin' out "?"

Watch how we do it independent
Focused on African Independence
In any competition bro we winnin'
You ain't felt this free in a minute
Illegally a slave in prison
Give your money to decide about amendments

Let's get free for a livin'

Y'know it's hard to be black, in a world controlled by white folks
Du Bois said, they always had the double-consciousness
You're tryna be black, meanwhile you got a white ghost
Hovering over your head that says, "if you don't do this, you'll get killed
If you don't do this, you won't get no money
If you don't do this, nobody will think you're beautiful
If you don't do this nobody will think you're smart"
That's the ghost, you're trying to be black
But the ghost is telling you to be a ghost
We hope you won't slip
