malcom mufunde & yaaduniverse - manyepo lyrics

verse 1:
grew up believing in tv
but if it comes through a screen, it’s been screened to deceive me
thinking it’d be real cool to be in a gang
like, k!lling a crip and having blood on my hands
american dream fired by america’s nightmare
dreams of moving bricks till it hit me like a ton of them
even fetishized a drug habit
unknown to me, those who had a crack at it became crack addicts
always a bunch of black subjects
the victims in real life but on the tv, we’re the suspects
the battle between the surreal and what’s so real
your point of view is regulated by the points you view
and televangelism is an act
why be spiritual when i’m god in the flesh?
always thought i was hollywood+bound
wished on a shooting star that i’d shoot with the stars
but

chorus:
takapenyerwa, takanyeperwa
takapenyerwa, takanyeperwa

verse 2:
grew up believing in social media
but all is picture perfect through a filter
fun fact: almost all the fun is fake
half the way she looks is an effect
with every new post, a new face they show
so everyone on the wall is looking off+the+wall
get ahead or stay in the tail, it’s heads or tails
hop on the bandwagon of those getting derailed
we got trained to follow the trend
playing ourselves just so we could be part of the band
nonetheless, we couldn’t face the music
we need amus+m+nt
a reality show will never show you the reality
you fake it till you make it, but now the fake are making it
so we feed on the poison on the feed
until we start believing a luxury is a need
but
chorus:
takapenyerwa, takanyeperwa
takapenyerwa, takanyeperwa

verse 3:
grew up believing in magazines
but people never wrote about people like me
i had no entertainment, i read about it
flipping through pages of those who never gave a flip about me
regardless, i started emulating pop culture
a wannabe that could never pop in my culture
only the rich would ever make the headlines
if you didn’t make the paper, you would never make the papers
so we identify with lies
we’re never gon be real in their eyes
need a certain look for my story to be told
my biography depends on the biology i hold
a feature story hides your true features
so till you cover up, you’ll never make it up the cover
but i’m proud of myself; content with the creator
though it won’t impress all these content creators
coz

chorus:
takapenyerwa, takanyeperwa
takapenyerwa, takanyeperwa
