Yaya
When you see me in ya street, call me Mister Manzi (yah)
Ubunja bendoda, man
I don't like to hear it from thirty-somethings
Dropping knowledge or talking like my struggles were nothing
For all this substance, I don't like to hear it from forty puppets
Unless you're talking numbers, pouring budgets
Fulfilling something for me and mine
We don't need discussion with fifty suckers
Spinning my coming up for your corruption
Too many crimes, too many suffered
Disrespecting my efforts when, in my blood, is the rebel
Back in the seventies crying, 'remember'
Long walk to freedom got you sleeping in parliament
This one for my zeroes, fallen heroes and consequence
Cadres forgot these twenty-somethings in bondage
Still as poor as your options
Politicking for portions in the mosh-pit
Making off with the minerals in the garden
Only showing your principles when the storm ends
Gang-gang with the interview full of darkness
Gang-gang with the residue in the traumas
Senzeni na, senzeni na, senzeni na
Sono sethu, sono sethu, ubumnyama
Senzeni na, Senzeni na, Senzeni na
Sono sethu, sono sethu, ubu
These days I'd rather learn to ball a fist up
Than hear my old friends say I switched up
Like we're not working hand to mouth to get some (hand to mouth, bro)
We had to grow to fit this bigger picture (Uh)
The ones who won't became the ones who missed us (Where you at)
Can my balls hang low on this one (Low)
Can I show some van Gogh on this one? (Go)
Let my brush strokes flow for the slums (Uhh)
Getting more than many more for this cut (Mo')
My namesake gon' flood the coast for this cut (Co)
For making change is, from the floor
Busy, praying for a little patience, self-control
For the reign working with the roses' corner-stone
For the shame coming with the coldest
Episodes in the pages I wrote to save me from any more 'cause
Silo told me, I'm a nobody nigga, flex up (Silo told me I'm a nobody)
She told me, they still need a M, nigga, catch one (Rhe told me they still need a M)
Lab told me catch your second wind, nigga, fess up (Lab told me catch your second wind)
You need more than fifteen minutes in December (You need more than fifteen min)
Senzeni na, senzeni na, senzeni na
Sono sethu, sono sethu, ubumnyama
Senzeni na, Senzeni na, Senzeni na
Sono sethu, sono sethu, ubu
This one's for my daughters on my mama (mama)
Making my brother proud, looking down like my father (father)
Finding my own sound without all this marijuana (smoke)
Unless I'm feeling down with the crowd
Look around, look around bitch
This one's for anxiety (Chain-smoke into orbit, orbit)
This one's for the finer things (Swear I want this moment, moment)
Find me where the glow is (Ooh)
Rocky with the motive (Uh)
Cocky with the balance, in the pocket with the potion (Potions)
Blame it on the romance, working on my omens (Omens)
Working my emotions in the water till I'm flowing (Flowing)
Find me where the glow is
Fixing my forever's in the fear, fame, fortune
Find me man, near the ocean
I know it (I know it)
I'm 'bout to go where the glow is ('Bout to go where the glow is)
Find me back where the gold is (Find me back where the gold is)
You'll find me here where the gold is, in the ocean
In the bag, in the bag
I'm in the bag, in the bag
I'm in the bag
