1652 Lyrics by The Nuance (ZAF)

Long Live The Patriarchy?

2020

[Hook]
World go round with that 808 swing
2 rapper chains 'cause Wayne said bling
World go round with that 808 swing
Girls going down that's a day to day thing
2 rapper chains 'cause Wayne said bling
Lost my 8th pair of sneakers and my 3rd gold ring
[Verse]
Niggas having dreams didn't start with Martin Luther
Niggas rocking gold didn't start with Mansa Musa
Cleo had the drip before Van Riebeeck had a ship
Sailed the world twice before Columbus made a trip
So it's white sand beaches in locations where you can't reach us
Know you need us hit your label for the feature
Trading the Mona-Lisa for conversations with Sheeba
King Edward couldn't free her from all her days as a diva
But fuck it if he ain't try
Took the chips we were given and made thеm multiply
Didn't give a fuck about Mandela till he diеd
'Cause only dead presidents could keep my pockets lined
Opulence our form of the protest
Made ornaments out the ground and you calling them grotesque
Fuck if you think I'm signing for less
Than anything six figures cut the cheque for the best
[Hook]
World go round with that 808 swing
Girls going down that's a day to day thing
2 rapper chains 'cause Wayne said bling
Lost my 8th pair of sneakers and my 3rd gold ring
World go round with that 808 swing
Girls going down that's a day to day thing
2 rapper chains 'cause Wayne said bling
Lost my 8th pair of sneakers and my 3rd gold ring
World go round with that 808 swing
Girls going down that's a day to day thing
2 rapper chains 'cause Wayne said bling
Lost my 8th pair of sneakers and my 3rd gold ring
[Bridge]
Formed from the dust what a beautiful tale
How balance is a myth unless it's found in a scale
The tortoise taught the hare what it takes to prevail
And how the word of God died when they came down like hail
Every Fucking thing man you sow what you reap
Enemies unforgiving for the reasons you weep
What must be forsaken for the things that we seek
And alchemy ain't a loss man you choose what you keep
