Nobody Knows

(Album: A.M.N (Any Minute Now) - 2020)

Nobody said we'd here
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody nobody nobody
Nobody said we'd here
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody no

Sweater the juice the blacker the Murubele
That resonated soon as Khulani said it
I tried to stay away from my greatness but I ain't feel right
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
Can 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 nigga
Cause when African, everyday lit nigga
You could get shot by the ops
Or you could get shot by the cops true story

Nobody said we'd here
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody nobody nobody
Nobody said we'd here
Nobody said it'll 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 it all back if my plight was heard
Blackman
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 peeking thru the blinds like Malcolm X meets Ex Machina
Got the glizzy on deck if my opps popping up
Thru 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 motherfucker yea cause it's not you
No it's not you
Oh it's not you

Nobody said we'd here
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody nobody nobody
Nobody said we'd here
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody just to be clear
Nobody nobody no

Born on the wrong part of the tracks
With 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
Plot and started to conjure so they could divide and conquer
And that's why we hardcore
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 a encore
This is gift that I didn't ask for
Gimme a encore
This is gift that I didn't ask for
Gimme a 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
Nobody said it'll be clear
Nobody said it'll be fair
Nobody nobody no

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 it'll be fair
