karabo otaku - proud lyrics
my aunty told me “never be scared, go ahead and grow your hair ”
my uncle told me “never be scared, that’s your nose you won’t find it anywhere”
my cousin told me “never be scared”, look you in the eye but never stare stand my ground and tell you who i am. my people told me never live in fear
so say it loud, i’m black and proud
say it loud, i’m black and proud
say it loud, i’m black and proud
say it loud, i’m black and proud
verse1
can never stop my mind, it’s flowing heavy like a waterfall / can never take my pride, it carries me and i’ll never fall/ uthintazimnike yi demigod, i’m deeply rooted like the tree trunk /now look closely and you will see all the flowers growing in this mine-dump/ see the pride in their faces, and feel the power in this space/, and feel the strength and the pain pouring out their pores all over the place /and i’m the king i’m the greatest, now come and witness as i set it off /king bhambatha with the crown, middle finger to those who tell you to shave have it off /

verse 2
now everyone’s dancing like babes and buckz, now everybody’s got a big b-tt/ now everyone’s like me but when they see me they’re locking doors and rolling windows up / it’s not funny though i may (ha)…. it’s not funny though i may laugh / we all sing about paying back money but when it’s reparations no one will sing with us/ i can ascend my throne without stepping on heads or kicking months / i can climb up and get my shit without bringing my people down/ but if you fall i’ll pick you up, no matter where you’re from you can come with us / and if you’re with me clench your fist tight and throw it up
