Journey From Here To Here ft. Black Isco, Phi Ella & Spokesman Lyrics

I think of the knowledge lost when they snatched our gods from us

Forgetting to love self, and still God love us

But we're placing our faith in the state and it so happens

They've been able to trade education for programming

Now tell me how can I trust the president

When the hospitals constantly have no medicine

And the cops neglect to protect our residence

But an upgrade of the motorcade takes precedence

That's vanity valued more than humanity

A neglected community loses unity rapidly

Suicide and rape are the results of its apathy

It's important to ask who has the cure for calamity

The answer lies within each heart

You'd see it if your vision weren't completely fogged

Is it not written in law that ye be gods

You must have what it takes to defeat these odds

Descendants of Cain, trapped in the game's labyrinth

Illusion of change, mapping the steps backwards

Deluded, mundane blacks in the band practice

Glorifying pastors and idolising the trap rappers

Black on black crabs stacked in the same basket

Slogans and hashtags with no action

Black lives matter serving the same masters

Movement of the Pan Afrik sponsored by the same fascists

Is it really a movement maybe it's just stagnant?

Is it fuelling egos through liberating tactics?

Are we moving as people maybe I'm over asking?

I am not attacking the woke movement is just

distraction

Miracle merchants stacking your tithe taxes

Dope is the hope church is the crack cabin

Coz they're slanging the four gospels it's all capping

All about desires and gratifying the slave habits

Still hollering black lives matter

I guess they must've missed the memo or footnotes we stuck

In the same chapter

Knee to the neck I can't breathe seven shots

Ruptured spleen

This daily news a nightmare how this the

American dream

Too many questions not enough answers

They subtly spread hate that eat at you slow like cancer

This ain't just a west or east predicament

North and south can attest to the times that we been living in

Back home I see it in the eyes of many we lost souls

Can't see past ourselves Ubuntu is a forgotten code

Pop's say mwatayilira mwayiwala mwambo

Can't help but feel stranger to my culture what a design flaw

How to reconcile all these indifferences

When you been stripped identity haven't a clue as to who you is

It's ludicrous preposterous, fight for a seat at the table when all

They offer is a sip and crumbs

Your celebrities are your athletes and singers

Can we celebrate the nurses, doctors and the teachers too

I don't mean to sound quasi facetious

But as a society our values are twisted

It's just too much mimicking

Y'all too focused on the memes

Too much clout chasing too many trends

Too much propaganda y'all so easily impressed

Man, backbiting is some shit I can't stand

It's like the secret to being happy is just being happy in secret

It's just too many people sticking their nose up in my business

I bite my tongue more than I'd like to admit it

Often times I try to act more than I do speak it

I seen people hate people; claiming that their woke

People talk bad about people they don't know

I've been hurt before by people I called my own

Man it's sad to say those people don't sadden me any more
