MICHAEL BAN2KHOE - Air-conditioned Hell (Radio Edit)

Aye man what you telling me
A page from a diary
Of a fatherless boy
A page from a diary
Of a fatherless boy
Let's go
(Nostalgic melody)
Its take two? Alright man let's go
Look
Yo, I'm stuck up in this Air-conditioned Hell
That's the Alcatraz
For the Rich and the Famous
Believe me, if I told you that my life is a living hell
Would you think that I'm lying
And that I made it all up
And that I
I'm going thru a midlife crisis
My psychiatrist tryna figure out who the real Mike is
I told her that I'm six in the lucky twelve
Lucky what?
And one day you and I go change the world
Go change the world, the world needs some changing
A lot of white supremacist they taking over
We go die up in this B, this is crazy
Black lives—Oh, we're amazing!
Look
I'm stuck up in this Air-conditioned Hell
That's the Alcatraz
For the dark skin tone
Would you believe me if I told you that my life is a living hell
Would you think that I'm lying
That I'm Steve Biko
Argh
(Phone ringing)
(Voicemail message)
I saw some Black leaders at a Black Lives Matter protest
For hittas being gunned down by the white man
They be out here screaming out loud fellow comrades
Now, put that Black fist in the air
My white brother-in-law always carries an EpiPen
My Black cousin in Bots got arrested for petty theft
I get a call from abroad, like Michael, where you at?
Auntie Petty asking for money, I gave her petty cash
I gave her a time frame to pay me back
Cause I remember how y'all treated us back then
She knocked me in the head with a saucepan
Accusing me of stealing her Nokia 3310
I know Jesus died at 33 years
My paps passed away double his age
My grandfather had chronic cancer
The reason why I feel I'm like a ship with no anchor
M.I.C in the middle of the sea
You never really see me coming, did you?
A page from a diary
Of a fatherless boy
A page from a diary
Of a fatherless boy
