lirik lagu mazbou q - allochthon.

just know if you don’t relate to me
i don’t relate to you neither
aotearoa raised
but the uk is where i was conceived in
nigerian dna
but was grown in the belly of rewa
if you don’t catch my drift
it’s the south of the city of sails, in new zealand
this country’s got black history
my life’s in chapter one
read it

i remember not knowing about that word they would mention
“n~gga!”
was it disrespect or was it twisted affection
confused about why it was used with an a among brethren
but an e with the hardest of r’s when shouted toward my direction

looked at the rappers on tv and saw some resemblance
looked at mirror and all i could see was resentment
couldn’t talk in my mother tongue but korn and slipknot were speakin my language
so i copped a pearl export and started to beat out my anguish

sk!lls on the drums made it simple to switch from metal to rappin
every cadence i played on the kicks were the syllable patterns
as i lay dying, with nas, eminem and some k!llswitch engage were my standards
blended in with the goths and the gangsters, double the blackness
music fiend, i dreamed of going to college, pursuing jazz
but there was some african expectations that weren’t cool with that
hah, d~mn
i fought with my momma, argued with dad
he said engineering gon’ pay all your bills n~gga, do the math

with my adhd that degree felt like playin on advanced mode
during every exam, i was thinkin f~ like a crash code
but i’m grateful, cos if i didn’t do it, life could have been a fiasco
put that technical knowledge in rap flow, now it look like i could be a fiasco

they talkin’ bout “is he a rapper or is he a teacher? “
i’m hearin i cannot be both from folks who ain’t either
my whole life been a battle ‘gainst fittin a mold, and this is my ether
just know that if you don’t relate to me
i don’t relate to you neither
