Dankie Somandla - TAN

Not every religion has a believer

Not every teacher has an achiever

Not every feature has it a killer

Why would I cease to wanna be bigger

Than everyone that’s ever made it

Everyone that’s celebrated?

Everyone that has a vision

Has to move on and make a decision

To rise above the mdiocrity

Rip it to shreds if you know what I mean

Coz the btter competitor grab it and wreck it

Be whack and respected around these streets

He, tellin' lies on the beats

He, terrorise what we preach

He, killin' the culture, why we allowed this?

Did it ourselves, But me

I, write the lines with gas

I, set alight on tracks

I see third degree burns on snitches

When they bite my raps

My, microphone don’t check

My, mouth is dry from tears

I drank in the morning

The meal was important

The rappers I ate for breakfast…

Dankie Somandla!

Mnandi mas’phila

Ridin' around in cars that we dream of

I cannot lie, I love to cut cheese up

Look at the smile on Tata Madiba

MalumeDee shout out to my ninjaz

Right up in Troy with thugs and drug dealers

Nothin' but love for lyrics and beats, man

Nothin' but love for lyrics and beats

Look at my life, you can see that I’m blessed

When I look at the Bible, I trust what it says

The life is for living and rhymes are for spitting

My brother, now tell me: now why are you stressed?

Why are we sittin' doin' nothin' 'bout rap?

Why do we seek to try be on the map?

Nothin' but love for lyrics and beats

Express it like how it do come from my chest

D double E, the lyrical G

The syllable monster, spittin' with ease

The lyrical choppa, killin' the beats

The musical scholar, burnin' up sheets

It’s almost every day I feel like I done won the jackpot

But every other day I feel like I am lost in Vegas

But every day I pray, I practice and I get that paper

These other meatheads wanna get in my way, always makin' me pray…

Dear Lord…

Dear Lord gimme the strength not hurt her

I think I’m going insane…

That’s when I, I…

Burn up in anger

Pull up an anchor

Run up and gun up

I kill 'em, I hang 'em

Pulling my fangs out

Bury in a neck now

Flashbacks be bringing my terrible past up

Giving me hatred, animal cages

Want me to curse 'em like Anabelle Higgins

Limitless paces, look at me changing

Lyrically rippin' it going through ages

Really be dealing with amateur haters

Stickin' the reasons I’m labellin' fakers

Silly, these rappers think they can phase us

City to city I’m famous

As soon as a feature spores, their weak accords

Then run and consult a ouija board

I creep across, with sleep assured

Expose with my lyrics they’re weak at chores

I leave a corpse, don’t seek applause

Jus' eat that’s all, the scenes are gore

The speakers roar, the things get torn

Our beats get spawned, let’s do this yo…

Let sisters know and jitas also

WE ARE GODS

Believe it, live it, preach it, teach it!

Truly y’all

ARIGATO!

Dankie Somandla!

Mnandi mas’phila

Livin' the life I always had dreams of

I cannot lie, I wanna be free but

But look at the smile on Tata Madiba

MalumeDee shout out to my ninjaz

Right up in Troy with thugs and drug dealers

Nothin' but love for lyrics and beats, man

Nothin' but love for lyrics and beats cuhz…
