      LYRICS-
      There ain't a French bottle we ain't pop, a fresh article we ain't cop
      benz top that we ain't drop, and dressed model we ain't knocked
      festival we ain't rocked, destined to be this hot,
      to the best of my knowledge, rest of the marriage - that's sayin a lot,
      but if you takin stock! and you don't save a spot for the forsaken lot!
      from the bakin hot land of the slavers doug!
      That's your prerogative, we polar opposites
      I'm from that continent of poverty and long-walk accomplishments
      Where former heroes give birth to spoilt rotten kids
      The opulent meet the poor cleanin their their offices
      We push rocket ships like Elon Musk, charged the whip
      but still stuck in sh** coz we don't got a pot to piss in.
      So G** forgives as you you give the church half your sh**!
      I'm buggin, still we can't tell a pastor from a pimp!
      it's Roman Catholic, it's Anglican, it's African tribes-men, migrants, sh** it's masked men kidnappin kids!
      I say South Africa you think Trevor, I think Nelson, it's half a parage you gettin mixed messages ey!
      I say Nigeria you think Fela (Kuti), I think Delta it's past and present it's blurry as an impression, and Sway,
      I put your certified hyenas in Elephant graves!
      I'm punchin way above the ceiling you set us the grade!
      This is the Red-letter day!!
      Show em how a vet is made!!
      last time somebody spit this fire.. David Blane
      These ready-made superstars
      with tattoos and scars
      and you think they can save face with a few bars!
      They lukewarm
      I'm in true form!
      38 like Jordan in Utah*?* killin them with the flu shot!!
      Strus-G**, that means trust me! I'm nutty as RuPaul,
      but I wear out a p** like King Jaffe in New York,
      ?*what cud you do rump***???*
      When I promise you ought'a smoke I am so covin bro dis is Snoop Dog!
      This is the dairy of a mad man,
      who shud have been stamp champ, but I wrote above their heads like Anne Frank
      Fam, I'm a giant among ants, like the tyrant from Baghdad, whose sayn (Hussien) I can't hang on camera.
      Grew up on hammers, M-16 hammers!
      No dancers!
      Miss me with MC Hammer,
      I'm cool-G rap alumni,
      these my handlers!
      The cool fiend(Kufi) Nas from NY, jesus medallion!
      Reading Langston Hughes, el-Hajj Malik Shabazz en them, sh**
      In the pocket like the auto-borne assassin!
      They gon photograph an African prototype of a starving kid,
      but not show you the royal blue Aston Martin whip, it's complicated,
      and f** Vibranium educate em, we got ghettos to,
      and they orange juice concentrated!
      Bo Brady said be measured in your actions
      Give them honey and pain, happiness and the anguish
      Like when Tony got the flooded Roley and we called it hope
      For all the times the po-po had my folks against the ropes
      For all the times we drove a shawty out to Marie Stopes
      And all the ones we almost broke, but still be calling hoes
      They fall for men who end up teachin them the rope or dope / ropadope,
      these the broken homes we from.
      It ain't sweet like, its marijuana leaf highs, like maradona sniff white,
      strangled by a short leash, my mama hold her fist tight,
      tell a bigot he can suck and lick a piss pipe!
      coz we gon get that level up and win in this life! ey,
      I'm from the real South,
      Not the fried catfish killer-mic, I mean a township, real South,
      Where blacks go through hardship like around ?*ship flight*?
      it's bad sh** backwards for the wrong skin-type,
      and I am disliked but don't give too many f**
      When they set the bar, I look back and tell them where it was.
      This sh** ain't for everyone,
      second cousin and aunt takin a dump on our culture for a radio chart, ey
      bu I ain't mad at you
      might even dance to it,
      and half the world can watch me Thanos-snap to it.

      I'm not South African, I'm a Zimbabwean from Bulawayo. I grew up listening to a lot of Hip hop (both African and American) And the fact that I speak Isindebele and a bit of Setswana so I understand S.A music.Houz music, Amapiano, Naija, Afropop, Pop or whatever, I just love music.

      "Mumble rap" is more melodic and if you actually listen there will be lines that surprise you. The fundamentals of hip-hop and rap don't change (flow, lyrics, youthful exuberance) but what has changed is how it's delivered hence the change we see now. In my opinion, South African rappers are starting to bridge the gap between making music and rapping but that's also because of the current influences from America.
