lirik lagu youngstacpt - a ballad for shaakie

[intro]
i sat there and the camera was setup here
and i said i’m just gonna tell you the truth as it is
this is my belief
there’s more to it than surface level
they don’t know shaakie roberts
they don’t know ishmaeel roberts
yeah (yeah)
yah

[verse 1: youngstacpt]
i’m not a perfect man and nor was i born one
but i promise that i am working towards one
my people need a leader so that’s why i rap for them
but it hurts when they think i’ve turned my back on them
upset with the gift that god has given youngsta
don’t makе it harder ’cause we alrеady lacking infrastructure
why don’t you blame the ones in power? look at the lives they k!lled
i’m alive and well but i still suffer from survivor’s guilt
i’m still living in fear, year after year
believe half of what you see, none of what you hear
broken families
coloureds still working in the factories
breaking their backs for cheap, are we losing our humanity?
or have we lost it? tryna sit where the boss sit
if freedom was a download, how much would it have costed?
africans k!lling africans claiming that they imposters
our condition can’t be doctored
our society is godless (that’s true)
[interlude]
i mean i worked for 44 years, 11 months and 3 weeks [?]
and i’ve never seen the white man change in 44 years, 11 months and 3 weeks

[verse 2: youngstacpt]
maybe i’m the crazy one and everyone is normal
but let’s go back in history inside this time portal
to the dark parts of africa
the sharpeville massacre
amazing how a prisoner became our ambassador
present day issues, they internet hack you
don’t know what to fight for so they taking down statues
they boycotted, protested, they marched and insisted
but the crime and the corruption are the faults that they can live with
ending our existence just to turn up in the club
addicted to posting pictures like technology is a drug
a young girl gives birth but yet she has no wedding
the president cuts us off and then he calls it load shedding
every day is christmas though you see no presents
you’ve been living, so you should thank allah for old blessings
i can relate, i really don’t have time to be fake
i’m tired of hate, so we create good hope for the cape (and that’s true)

[interlude]
but this is how we are
you are not gonna win this battle, my boy
you are not gonna win this battle
the people are dirty in this world
they don’t want you to succeed
[verse 3: youngstacpt]
police handcuff us
i wonder, is it just us?
or is it justice?
what gives them the right to judge us
skin colours, still influence the decision making
but salutas p~o~c rapped at nelson’s inauguration
this conversation is referred to as reversed racism
i hate the system, they stole my speech like plagiarism
i ain’t playing with them, if only they could see what they do to me
and how their decisions have affected my whole community
they tied us up, shackled our minds and divided us
2017, train, taxi or we ride the bus
hanging from train carriages acting like wild savages
doing damages but we [?] by the managers
slang languages, we own it and we invented it
they get stolen and sold to us by our oppressors
and smart men ask questions
don’t succumb to the pleasures
false idols out there are trying to blind you with their treasures
i’m sorry brown man but you don’t have those kinds of leisures
you need to take this pressure if you wanna be a legend
i said i’m sorry brown man but you don’t have those kinds of leisures
you need to take this pressure if you wanna be a legend

[outro]
you hear that, my friend?
so, you’re never gonna win this battle
you’re always gonna have somebody that you’re [?]
somebody is always gonna try to make your right a wrong
