Zakwe Roots Lyrics
I was folding leopards you would swear it’s origami
Wild life lessons, every death gave me life
Still, born, so me and Christ share a likeness
Now I’m like a no sign is
It’s all timing
You can push hope it come out loud but this ain’t the gynae
Zakwe hit me like “Let’s talk about the rhyming”
Couldn’t find it hard to tell him “that’s not my vibe scene”
Not when the world need the molly
And Bob’s your uncle but you worry about your country
I don’t take molly, I take lil’ rocks and my daughter
I take your chiffon dresses from the shopping complex
And I’m not trying to shop a complex
I put my shit in the music so you can find strength
So lil’ project I built from the onset
Ordinary people baptized now that’s a John Legend
Born in Tanzania, that seems far-fetched
But none of you know the world that’s in my closet
I make lines speak to the heart of the darkness
Everything hidden unless you listening with your conscience
Take or leave as it is ’em lyrics to feel the content
German precision sniffers is ill-equipped for this bomb threat
If she could get too thick for Shawshank
Don’t bank on lip if you can’t scream or walk it
Didn’t got the whisky on the arm rest
Puffing something stinky from the tropics
With a face like brake lights
Eish son you can miss me with the nonsense
‘Cause now I found the roots to my sanity
Shades for my money, drink, pop my daily bread
All black dude can’t see nobody
If you ain’t no badass somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for them new look
Nothing’s been the same since rain, Hallelujah
All black dude can’t see nobody
If you ain’t no badass somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for them new look
Nothing’s been the same since rain, Hallelujah
It’s real, Ng’ overdose-a le skill, the weak come overdose
We made dough with a flour ekasi, it’s rearousing
Ng’phuz’ uTugela ne tap water that’s how I switch flows
I’ve been down for the streets, and now it picks me up
Straight from the dome, see now they wanna fill me up
The time is up for you niggas if you ain’t down with us
I’m moving clockwise, mang’fun’ is’gubhu ng’yam’ clock-a u-Wise
I know my son is gon’ shine-a better my daughter’s life
I broadcast from songs I wrote while I was walking by
Player, never ang’phuphi, I sleep it now with an open eye
I’skhath’ as’mile baba, we gotta do better in rap
Second you every second you take the first step, ha
You Father Christmas niggas, set on the first lap
Now I’m ma run tings, my niggas first on that last lap
I take a stand mang’tshela lez’ ez’ oblivious
I-straadi k’mele bas’funde k’thina, we got that tine bus
We bypass those who are biased mas’ release-a
You don’t buy us bring the pliers
Negative mind is easy to minus
Division of labour must now multiply
You see they add a lot of problems when they menacing us
They must, do the math from the previous lines
Selling gold was contagious, now I got that midas touch, that’s right
We survive when they told us we’re never winning in this
Patience on my timeframe till I could picture this, ha
Y’all still drink ciders and pee ’em (PM) like evenings
With that much flow, I could beat the odds when I even things
And be the voice of the illest
Shit, I can flow so the industry put my thoughts on the G keep it
Either O, I’m a lyricist
I’m a boss, I’m a genius
I was born with this eagerness
Get applause and the millions, ’till they all feeling this
I made me stacks but I’m ma make more hunninds
‘Cause now I found the roots to my sanity
Shades for my money, drink, pop my daily bread
All black dude can’t see nobody
If you ain’t no badass somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for them new look
Nothing’s been the same since rain, Hallelujah
All black dude can’t see nobody
If you ain’t no badass somebody
Glory for the pain in the booth for them new look
Nothing’s been the same since rain, Hallelujah
