Ancestors Lyrics by Kng Edwn

Slave - EP

2018

[First Verse - Kng Edwn]
Locked up in a cubicle
I’m praying for my soul
Lord won’t you hear my song
Singing for the African child but he won’t listen
I’ve been on a mission
I’ve been politicking
‘Bout to start a revolution
Crying for my ancestors they’re locked up in a cage
My mind state got me thinking about putting all my brothers on the ground
Bleeding for my ancestors
Preaching to the hypocrites
We do the rain dance on our way to the podium
Moving in the tidal waves
I’m moving in the wind
You can feel my influence a thousand miles away
Pleading for my ancestors on that life sentence
Preacher man going on ‘bout fake repentance
They brought AIDS straight from the land of hades to kill my kind
Justifying all my ancestors
They stole my identity limiting my ability to do a lot of miracles
[Second Verse - Kng Edwn]
Ain’t no ordinary king
Ain’t no ordinary being
I was blessed with something more, spiritual flow
We the lost tribe of Israel
Let me tell you something real
You talk about roses from the concrete
My people wonders from the ashes
While most of you tryna forget
I’m tryna educate the lost kids, heritage impregnated in these beads
I speak through the trees
All my folks ain’t allowed to dream
White man taught me how to read, white man told me to get rid of my dreadlocks
Cause he dread my looks
I’m feeding all my ancestors
Halie Selassie, the black messiah
[Third Verse - Kng Edwn]
Tell me what Am I to do?
I hear their voices taking over, I can feel it in my mind
Metaphors got me visualizing deadly wars
Bodies on the ground, blood in the air
My saviour is called a villain by these spoiled Western children
I’m reaching for my own spear
I see everything through the spyglass
This how Mzilikazi felt hustling in the veld
