Fruit Of Bantu Lyrics by Coely

Alive

2023

[Intro: Coely]
Black coat, Black face, Black forever, Black, Black us
Black lips, Black hips, Black forever, Black, Black us
[Verse1: Coely]
Does my blackity black ass offend you
They won’t let me in cuz I'm Bantu
My granny Marie aza ndundu
Community healer teaching ubuntu
We say makemba, you say plantain
We came from different places but we all the same
To sala musala until we champagne
Ndeko, we gon do it for our DNA
I love my mom, Butchu, Michel, that’s true
I know they got my back, they got deep wounds too
See my teams on top maybe that sounds rude
Whuuuut my confidence be getting misconstrued
Is it my melanin? Is it that thing again?
Is it the difference blocking me from fitting in?
See I got Black roots
Black wounds
Black thoughts
My lips big and black
I’m Black what
[Pre-Chorus: Coely]
My lips big and black, I’m Black what
My lips big and black, I’m Black what
[Chorus: Coely]
Black coat, Black face, Black forever, Black, Black us
Black lips, Black hips, Black forever, Black, Black us
Black coat, Black face, Black forever, Black, Black us
Black lips, Black hips, Black forever, Black, Black us
[Verse2: Shaka Shams]
Yes im black, yes a lighter black, still my skin don’t crack
Black is black, One united pack, still divided hah
Zulu land, is the roots I am, Shaka rule again
Proof to them, If you fuck with one, you fucking with the pack
Where we at, pushing back, on the thrones or in a shack
In a pit or peaking past, all that shit that never ends
I was lacking bout a week ago, now im pushing back
Feel like being black is cool again, I benefit from that
Its a curse that is wrapped, up in blessings for the act
Still i go but i gotta show, that we is more than that
Crossed the globe, so i’ve always known my melanin’s intact
I’m in love with my black, still in touch with my black
Yes I’m black
[Pre-Chorus: Coely]
My lips big and black, I’m Black what
My lips big and black, I’m Black what
[Chorus: Coely]
Black coat, Black face, Black forever, Black, Black us
Black lips, Black hips, Black forever, Black, Black us
Black coat, Black face, Black forever, Black, Black us
Black lips, Black hips, Black forever, Black, Black us
