Track No: 11

Nobody said we'd be here
Nobody said it be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody said we'd be here
Nobody said it be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody, no
Sweeter the juice, the blacker the Murubele
That resonated as soon as Khulani said it
I tried to shy away from my greatness but I ain't feel right
But now I feel like a superhero in real life
Blackman, real nice
Maya Angelou, I still rise
Y'all killed me for 400 years and now I kill mics
Including Rosewood y'all killed me for 450
I mean that shoulda told you that you can't fuck with me
Blackman
I finally know what I'm truly worth
'Cause the year is 2020, I'm filthy rich and I'm black like Miss Universe
I said I'm black like Miss Universe
I had to say twice
'Cause that ain't some everyday shit ****
'Cause when you African, everyday lit ****
You could get shot by the opps
Or you could get shot by the cops, true story
Nobody said we'd be here
Nobody said it be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody said we'd be here
Nobody said it be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody, nobody, no
I feel like nobody on my side
Nobody on Earth could take my pride
Nobody believe it until they see it on they live screens
They play my screams
My rights to breathe, nobody fight for me
I fought from birth, nobody fight for peace
Until my justice served
The comforts of my life be enticing me
I'd trade 'em all back if my plight was heard
Black man
I'm tired of fearing life
I'm tired of feeling like I'm sub-human
I'm tired of my demise playing out before your eyes
But I'm peekin' through the blinds
Like Malcom X meets Ex Machina
Got the glizzy on deck if my opps poppin' up
Through our hearts and minds, occupying our block too
Until we fortify tell me how we gon' put a stop to 'em
I heard turn the other cheek, well, we only got two
Easy for you to say mufucka, yeah, 'cause it's not you
No it's not you
Oh, it's not you
Nobody said we'd be here
Nobody said it be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody said we'd be here
Nobody said it be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody, nobody, no
Born on the wrong part of the tracks
With the slave marks on our backs
There was brave hearts in the flats
Now the graveyards where they at
Dying early, severely, develop prematurely
Stillborns in the bin, it's dirty
Lord have mercy
Law and order, power of attorney
They changed the verdict and paid the jury
As we journey to a rough place
Where for a woman it's unsafe
The last time we got raped was during apartheid
You touch base but there's no way to correct the system
We need a exorcism escaping this mental prison
As a matter of interest, yes, we have been conditioned
Naming us colored was already incorrect to begin with
Before the struggle, the Boesman and the Black tribes were allies
We fought against the bad guys
Then we got our hands tied
They brought firearms and that's how they became the master
They plot and started to conjure so they could divide and conquer
And that's why we hardcore and hate our brothers a lot more
But we fighting in the wrong war
It won't stop, it can't pause
I needed transport so I never made it to Hogwarts
Picking the locked doors, this is gift that I didn't ask for
Gimme an encore
This is gift that I didn't ask for
Gimme an encore
This is gift that I didn't ask for
Gimme an encore
Nobody said we'll be here
Nobody said it'll be clear
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody, nobody, no
Nobody said we'll be here
And nobody said it'll be clear
And nobody said it'll be fair
And nobody, nobody, no
And nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody, no
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody said we'll be here
Nobody said it'll be clear
Nobody said we'll be here
