[Verse 1] She got nice brown eyes and brown skin And a smile that just draws you in A queen, only thing fit for a king We was all born queens and kings But not equal, they forgot about my people Overtime we became slaves to the mentalities Forced into certain thinking and formalities Relationships ending due to infidelity This life is all I know, shout out Midcity We taking the gold back just to grill it If I get the gold I'll make my crown with it Jesus died with a crown of thorns Ain't nobody breaking me with sticks and stones We post to be different but a bunch of niggas my clones Chasing lost American dreams so we keep running We never stop like Hennessey, even when we told to stop believing My faith is intact now, I had almost stopped believing Was tired of living til I felt alive Can't sleep gotta stay woke Put me on the mic' and I'll never choke Niggas rapping like it's Stand Up Can't roll with us you look like you needa stand up I can never treat an opp like a joke Cause I'm from a country where niggas die daily Big or skinny, niggas die daily Over petty shit and mommas cry daily When I got robbed my momma cried I saw a knife in my face nigga but,.... Told her "don't worry mom I'm aight" After my first punch in the face my daddy taught me how to fight Ain't beefing with nobody everybody just tryna survive Some need a million to see their dreams some need 5 Grew up with both parents that's a blessing When I have my own kids I'll keep the curses I seen my uncle dead body in a hurse Sometimes people think it's better being dead cause of money Africa need a lot of it, it ain't even funny It's hard to maintain and depression ain't taken seriously Why are we the ones always ignored? I found "perfect" when I was heavily flawed I know it ain't easy to find someone to look past your flaws Overly critised but more dedicated They gotta check if my flows rhyme Niggas see things and keep quiet like mimes If he saw his mom get beat at 8 How he gon know how to treat a woman right? We need less cowards and more father figures I think of the ones I got when I think of real niggas Thank you, even though you weren't perfect But never did I go to bed without a meal I know if anybody threatened me you'd kill Never did I come out the jungle without a kill Many people are the reason I'm here today If this was 30 years ago I wouldn't be writing this today Thanks to the colonizers I speak English But I take pride in my heritage everytime I get a chance I'm from down south, yall heard about us Proud to be a product of Azania Don't be fooled by the accent its who I am [Chorus] I got bloodlines dating back to Rhodesia My momma's daddy came from Botswana I'm from the cradle of humankind I'll never be ashamed to show em who I am It's just an accent, Azania is who I am [Verse 2] I know cross roads my forefathers knew Rhodes My predecessors died over diamonds I got heroism running in these veins When we claim what's rightfully ours it's terrorism they claim God bless America and the queen But when you do don't forget Africa Went from spears to foreign cars We was raised by love now we'd rather do without it Personally I wanted to believe I'm good without it But like a bird was made to fly we was made to love When we try live without it ain't no purpose of living Hit the ground before, it's how I know how to get up Fallen in love before its how I learned pain and happiness It's how I met the love of my life Suicide only possible cause we forget how to fly Hadn't let go of my pain cause I had forgotten how to cry Long live Steelo and Steve Biko I too wanna be remembered a hero They came and took us from our birthright They can take you out Azania but never the Azania out you Many of our forefathers chose to die than live in bondage We was aight but they called it Stone Age Lord willing Imma make it to Donatello age Just to say I made it to stone age (Versace) We living backwards and learning to forget The pain may go but the memories stay in storage Tried clearing it up but I broke the door-hinge Memories and remembering comes with pain I still can't remember to forget my pain Feeling this way makes me feel ungrateful It's soldiers like Sisulu who went through the pain I admit sometimes I feel weak Hadnt cried I years til last week Wish it was over another younging losing their lives or something deeper But it was because I felt something loosening Told her hold on like our forefathers told our beloved Azania I know churches and benediction My daddy got shot once that ain't fiction My uncle died cause he fought for what he believed in Lord I know you see her sins but forgive her Forgive our mother Azania, your daughter I know her sons would kill for a dollar And many been bipolar Til death of me I'm Tripolar with it Love can change the world but what do I know Found a girl I'd give it all up for My great-great-granddaddy died for Azania I found something I'd die for Cause with nothing to die for you got nothing to live for I was exposed to these harsh truths when I was only 4 Thinking about all the bad you been through is hurtful I'm from Africa I can never live peaceful She been through a lot since 1652 But ain't she just so beautiful [Chorus] I got bloodlines dating back to Rhodesia My momma's daddy came from Botswana I'm from the cradle of humankind I'll never be ashamed to show em who I am It's just an accent, Azania is who I am [Outro] They took from her and sold back to her sons They even took some of her sons But she was strong enough not to cry She can take the rain cause when it's sunny she's still hopeful There's a lot wrong, but she makes me hopeful Azania there's hope for you Ain't no place like hope
