Systems

(albüm: Nqaba Yam - 2021)

Systems are put, rules need to be followed
There's no need to follow when the ruler is unruly
Lay there, wait and should I cut my hair?
Should I grow my hair for you to listen?

I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming
I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming

I'm no politician neither a preacher
If was woven [?]
No politician neither a preacher
Should I cut my hair for you to listen?

I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming
Black child who can do it
I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming

How many years?
(Actually, how many days in a year? Lets talk about it...)
How many days in the year?
How many years?
(Actually, we have been deprived of our future.)
We have been indeed deprived

I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming
I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming

Long walk to freedom
And democracy is our portion
(Do we have it though?)
No politician neither a preacher...

I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming
I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming
I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming
I refuse to be calm
Because what I have become is not becalming
