Lyrics
I was safe and sound
I felt secure and at ease
In a place without you
In a location where you were not present
I was safe and sound
Reiterating the sense of safety and calm
'Til they chased me down too
Until they pursued me as well
I evade the hounds just
I avoided pursuers just
To taste the ground too
To experience hardship as well
cnd you fall behind to patch
And you lag behind to mend
Me up but it's you they want
Me, but it's you they desire
cnd when waves came and doubt hit
When challenges arose and uncertainty struck
You called it, you called it true
You predicted it accurately
I'm warning you I'm out of options
I'm cautioning you that I have no choices left
I've crossed the moon
I've surpassed the limits
Don't get this shit confused
Clarifying the situation
Fiji on me
Referring to Fiji water as a symbol of luxury
Wade in water like they taught us
Walking through challenges as taught
Now it's your sons and your daughters
Now facing the consequences for our offspring
cnd we're just lambs
We are like lambs
To the slaughter
Going to slaughter due to orders
'cause it's orders
cnd if it's on me so load
If the responsibility is on me, then load
Up the Zong please
Up the Zong (a historical reference to a slave ship)
Re-up, it won't float?
If it won't succeed, then let it be
Then so be
Accepting the outcome
Same same it ain't changed
Things remain the same, no improvement
The slave names still chain brains
Slave names still control minds
cll paid for with fake change
All gains obtained with false currency
That's why I keep it on me
Reason for carrying protection
That's why I keep an army
Why I maintain a defensive force
That's why I keep it gnarly
Why I keep it challenging and intense
You never should have armed me
You shouldn't have armed me
Everybody knows mi born fi war
Asserting readiness for war
Look into my face
Looking into the past
I was born before
I existed before now
This is for the faith
Embracing a cause that can't be revived
That you can't restore
A cause beyond repair
This is for the faith
-That you can't restore
So, before your soul gets
Before your essence is forcefully taken
Snatched out that Off-White skin
Out of your privileged skin
Been told for time now it's on sight
Been warned repeatedly, it's confrontational now
Links been stole
Connections have been taken away
Try and make the wrongs right
Attempting to rectify the wrongs
We've been cold and
We've endured hardships and
Left bare for long nights
Been exposed for long nights
With nothing to support us
With no support
But who are you to say
Questioning the authority to label us as lawless
We're living lawless?
Of course the diamond's flawless
Naturally flawless like diamonds
Of course the mind is cornered
Mentally confined or limited
We just do it how you taught us
Adopting a behavior learned from you
