Young Cruiz - Roots (feat. Dizzie)

They say black ain't cool
They say black who are you
They say black you are nobody
Nobody knowns you
Where theres black there is darkness
Dark secret societies
They say black you are rude and nobody loves you
If you black you a nigga
If you black you a fool
Black fool hustle for food and eat until you full
I'm a black mutherfucker
Black broke as my culture
Black is my skin and i'm born under a system controlled by freaks
Have i forgotten bout you
Have i forgotten the truth
Have i forsaken my people for those who destroyed our roots
They say blacks goes to school
If you drop out you are doomed
After school is hell for educated people too
Education is free but some of us paid our fees
Lied and said its a donation government can't do everything
Corruption with politicians reason i'm voting for me
Fuck what you think i'm black and the black is within
Mutherfucker is the roots

Bayethe wena we ndlovu
Muntu omnyama uyingozi
Vusa baphasi amadlozi
Wa'thinta umuntu omnyama kwavuka makhosi
Bayethe wena we ndlovu
Muntu omnyama uyingozi
Vusa baphasi amadlozi
Wa'thinta umuntu omnyama kwavuka makhosi

Black you not free
You don't know freedom indeed
You full of chains like a busy man when you gonna be free
I still feel like we slaves we still driven by the wave
Cause to them its game they all craving to play
But black you are beautiful even when no one notice you
They dont want to see you glow reason you don't get it like you suppose to
They'll do anything to stop but the truth is you unstoppable woo
Like tom cruise the mission is impossible
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
But who are you to tell my people what to do
Jacob zuma out of his chair i feel sorry for the man
I still vote for you to be president who am i to judge a man
Only god can understand the devil business is deep
I speak for those who cannot speak losing your soul for the wicked
You cannot sleep the enemy knows all your secrets
This ain't no black society for black people who rich
Struggling atleast i got my soul to keep
Shout out my black people putting the hard work
But ain't getting paid nobody feel our pain
It strange when we the ones making what they earn as a salary
We do this cause of poverty we don't have properties
Whats concerning me
Why are we in the whites blacklist
Why is it blacklist not whitelist thats racist
The colour black is a curse where theres black the is mess
Reason they don't want jesus to be black no one with believe that
What are you looking for its the truth
It's the roots

Bayethe wena we ndlovu
Muntu omnyama uyingozi
Vusa baphasi amadlozi
Wa'thinta umuntu omnyama kwavuka makhosi
Bayethe wena we ndlovu
Muntu omnyama uyingozi
Vusa baphasi amadlozi
Wa'thinta umuntu omnyama kwavuka makhosi
Bayethe wena we ndlovu
Muntu omnyama uyingozi
Vusa baphasi amadlozi
Wa'thinta umuntu omnyama kwavuka makhosi
Bayethe wena we ndlovu
Muntu omnyama uyingozi
Vusa baphasi amadlozi
Wa'thinta umuntu omnyama kwavuka makhosi
