Nobody Knows (feat. Bas, YoungstaCPT & Apu Sebekedi)

Nobody said we'd be here

Nobody said it be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody, nobody, nobody

Nobody said we'd be here

Nobody said it be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody, no

Sweeter the juice, the blacker the Murubele

That resonated as soon as Khulani said it

I tried to shy away from my greatness but I ain't feel right

But now I feel like a superhero in real life

Blackman, real nice

Maya Angelou, I still rise

Y'all killed me for 400 years and now I kill mics

Including Rosewood y'all killed me for 450

I mean that shoulda told you that you can't fuck with me

Blackman

I finally know what I'm truly worth

'Cause the year is 2020, I'm filthy rich and I'm black like Miss Universe

I said I'm black like Miss Universe

I had to say twice

'Cause that ain't some everyday shit ****

'Cause when you African, everyday lit ****

You could get shot by the opps

Or you could get shot by the cops, true story

Nobody said we'd be here

Nobody said it be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody, nobody, nobody

Nobody said we'd be here

Nobody said it be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody, nobody, no

I feel like nobody on my side

Nobody on Earth could take my pride

Nobody believe it until they see it on they live screens

They play my screams

My rights to breathe, nobody fight for me

I fought from birth, nobody fight for peace

Until my justice served

The comforts of my life be enticing me

I'd trade 'em all back if my plight was heard

Black man

I'm tired of fearing life

I'm tired of feeling like I'm sub-human

I'm tired of my demise playing out before your eyes

But I'm peekin' through the blinds

Like Malcom X meets Ex Machina

Got the glizzy on deck if my opps poppin' up

Through our hearts and minds, occupying our block too

Until we fortify tell me how we gon' put a stop to 'em

I heard turn the other cheek, well, we only got two

Easy for you to say mufucka, yeah, 'cause it's not you

No it's not you

Oh, it's not you

Nobody said we'd be here

Nobody said it be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody, nobody, nobody

Nobody said we'd be here

Nobody said it be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody, nobody, no

Born on the wrong part of the tracks

With the slave marks on our backs

There was brave hearts in the flats

Now the graveyards where they at

Dying early, severely, develop prematurely

Stillborns in the bin, it's dirty

Lord have mercy

Law and order, power of attorney

They changed the verdict and paid the jury

As we journey to a rough place

Where for a woman it's unsafe

The last time we got raped was during apartheid

You touch base but there's no way to correct the system

We need a exorcism escaping this mental prison

As a matter of interest, yes, we have been conditioned

Naming us colored was already incorrect to begin with

Before the struggle, the Boesman and the Black tribes were allies

We fought against the bad guys

Then we got our hands tied

They brought firearms and that's how they became the master

They plot and started to conjure so they could divide and conquer

And that's why we hardcore and hate our brothers a lot more

But we fighting in the wrong war

It won't stop, it can't pause

I needed transport so I never made it to Hogwarts

Picking the locked doors, this is gift that I didn't ask for

Gimme an encore

This is gift that I didn't ask for

Gimme an encore

This is gift that I didn't ask for

Gimme an encore

Nobody said we'll be here

Nobody said it'll be clear

Nobody said it'll be fair

Nobody, nobody, no

Nobody said we'll be here

And nobody said it'll be clear

And nobody said it'll be fair

And nobody, nobody, no

And nobody, nobody, no

Nobody, nobody, no

Nobody, nobody, no

Nobody said it'll be fair

Nobody said we'll be here

Nobody said it'll be clear

Nobody said we'll be here
