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

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 mе for four fifty, uh
I mean, that shoulda told you that you can't f*ck with me
Black man!
I finally know what I'm truly worth
'Cause thе 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 motherf*cker, 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
