Lyrics Dankie Somandla - TAN

Dankie Somandla

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…
