FOR the WORLD Lyrics by Jay Jody

Shine O’ Clock

2024

[Intro: Jay Jody]
Yeah
I might need your lighters up for this one, wantshwara?
Yah (Damn, Sundae)
Yeah
[Verse 1: Jay Jody]
Three decades later, but yet it seems
I still struggle to fathom just what it means
Some hustle, struggle to make the means
Such a rude awakening from your dreams
Schemes, plots, memes, streams and machines
False information, corrupted regimes
Tell-lie-vision on the screen
Showin' you violence so it stays in your genes, yeah
Man-made beliefs
Man wrote it down, so man made you believe (Huh)
Kinda tricky, we all agree, right? But
Don't believe it until we see, right? (Right)
But if police in the hood, then we ain't see nothin'
This happens every week, so we don't feel nothin'
Black man dies and he leaves nothin'
Like a dead tree, leaves nothin'
Or maybe the problem is in the roots
Maybe the simulation is broken and so it loops
The pain, the pain
The minds in chains
Somebody tell me why life's so strange
Jabba tell Pac there's still no change
Niggas is still killin' each other, there's no change
In fact, niggas is savages now, there's more rage
There's fire in the streets, it's more than just a phase (Yeah)
[Chorus: Jay Jody, Blaklez]
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray for change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me (Sho)
Ke rapella lelapa la me (Mmm)
Pray for (Ahh yes) change in the world
[Verse 2: Blaklez]
I know what I don't wanna be, I can see it in my mind's eye
An old broke head with knowledge livin' off hindsight
Check blindspot, no Fetty Wap you can't blindside
Bottomline-obsessed crabs in a bucket get sidelined
Had to Tong Po this life ting like it's Muay Thai
School of the hard knocks, Yizo Yizo alumni
You wasn't with me satane ang rwaletse kwai-kwai
Refugee mentalities get handouts from fly by, nights
Got us livin' on our tip toes
Get votes from our people and leavin' 'em piss poor
Failed by the system, puttin' their faith in the pistol
After the fact you posin' like ha le na di issue
Her dzaddy lead a double life, I ain't sayin' schizo
He posture for the church, this nigga, his demons sit close
Pay close attention, read scripture, my nigga, get your - mind up
Body and soul, don't let 'em get you
[Chorus: Jay Jody]
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray for change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray for change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray for change in the world
Lebohela bophelo ba me
Ke rapella lelapa la me
Pray for change in the world (Damn, Sundae)
