lirik lagu dr koul - half my life
more than half my life
when i stopped feeling white
from realising i was painted as white
more than half my life
my role models have been blacker than
the blackboards of my colonised curriculum
stolen idols were ridiculed, until p-ssed as white
more than half my life
since hip hop’s beat infiltrated my heartbeat
initiated my heart from hard streets, reinvigorated my heart
more than half my life
inspired by the struggles of slaves freed
who unselfishly shared their wisdom
on pages they’d orally speak in sound waves
i realised i was born to seek
more than half my life… and the best of it
more than half my life… and for the rest of it
influenced from afrocentric philosophers in a relentless
current in a race against time, in a race against race pride
the construct of sp-ce time could have effortlessly swept
more than half my life
from now on, i side with the oppressed
privilege, what i afford to possess
until death, torture arrest –
if it’s for the cause, you can have my life
behind or on bars rhymed; you can have my life …
more than half my life
