Nobody Knows - Cassper Nyovest, Bas, YoungstaCpt

Nobody said we’d be here

Nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody nobody nobody

Nobody said we’d be here

Nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody no-

The sweeter the juice the blacker the murubele

That resonated as soon as Khulane said it

I try to shy away from my greatness but I ain’t feel right

But now I feel like a superhero in real life

Black man, real nice

Maya Angelou, I still rise

Y’all killed me for four hundred years and now I kill mics

Including Rosewood, y’all kill m for four fifty, uh

I mean, that shoulda told you that you can’t fuck with me

Black man!

I finally know what I’m truly worth

'Cause th 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 it twice, cause that ain’t some everyday shit, nigga

Cause when you African everyday lit, nigga

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’d be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody nobody nobody

Nobody said we’d be here

Nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody nobody nobody

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 palyin' out before your eyes but I’m peakin' through the

blinds like…

Malcolm 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 motherfucker, yeah cause it’s not you

That was not you

Oh it’s not you

Nobody said we’d be here

Nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody just to be clear

Nobody nobody nobody (Niemand)

Nobody said we’d be here (huh uh)

Nobody said it’d be fair (huh uh)

Nobody just to be clear (naah)

Nobody nobody nobody

Born in 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

Developed 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 is 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 Coloured 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 bought 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 the wrong war

It won’t stop, it can’t pause

I need a transport so I never made it to Hogwarts

Picking the locked doors

This is a gift I didn’t ask for, give me a encore

This is a gift I didn’t ask for, give me a encore

This is a gift I didn’t ask for, give me a encore

Nobody said we’d be here

Nobody said it’d be clear

Nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody nobody no

Nobody said we’d be here

And nobody said it’d be clear

And nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody nobody no

Nobody nobody no

Nobody nobody no

Nobody nobody no

Nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody said we’d be here

Nobody said it’d be fair

Nobody said we’d be here

Nobody nobody no

…for the birth of a new world

Let there be justice for all

Let there be peace for all

Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all

Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to

fulfill themselves
