lirik lagu black star youth – 4t dayz
{timam records}
black boy, black prince, black star youth, revolutionary symbol…
they should be scared, they should be running
they should be looking for cover, they should be hiding
they should be trying to silence or join you
instead they choose to ridicule you
they could never understand what you set out to do
how could they understand, what was so intricate
to be loved by many, so intimate
when you got weak, they loved the sight of your dimming
& flickering starlight
they first demanded to confiscate your spirit, because the evil fear it
they wanted to see your lifeless corpse
this way you could not alter the course of ignorance
that they have set, to make my people abandon what they have done for much too long, to just forget & carry on
i had loved you forever because of who you are
i saw clearly through you
i saw my image, god’s image
but they only see your tattoos, your jewellery, your hair that grows naturally, your piercings & body language
they only hear your vulgar words, defiant messages & un avoidable controversy
they see your life as a threat
they blame you for violence in society
they pour disgust on you & point fingers at you for problems in our families
because you were bred of ruthlessness & no one seemed to care
black boy, black prince, black star youth, revolutionary symbol…
we see you as the dark truth they are scared to accept
we see you as the voice we sometimes could not find
we see you as a young malcolm x
they thought an -ss-ssins bullet would stop you
as they tried with brother mboya, brother king, pac & uncle gandhi
they thought alcohol, drugs, women & prison, would consume you, as it did brother malcolm
yet those that knew you, knew you were on the way out, you had seen the light & moved towards it
black boy, black prince, black star youth, revolutionary symbol…
we felt your pain, similar to ours
we felt your frustrations, similar to ours
you are an un avoidable realness to generation y as they describe it
those that don’t know, may never know
but those that do know, truly know
that to generation y
you are mandela
you are kimathi
you are elvissss presley, john lennon, bob marley
you are michael jordan, muhammad ali
you are their messiah, their savior
you are their hero, their freedom fighter
you are the greatest ever………..
