o'hene savant - zebruh 2020 lyrics
[verse 1]
i ain’t horsing around, check out the yin and yang
black and white on my back, this is another gang
different equine, next time you’ll get lucky and maybe book you a horse or another performing monkey
we was almost in world war 3 while y’all was posting memes
in jeopardy by the actions of leaders overseas
suppose this my final chapter for rapping over beats, i hope to communicate that the world is almost over, see?
you want a happy record? sorry, i ain’t pharrell
but people who’s being droned, they know that ain’t for real
i came to tell what the prophets of the past told
even to the wicked king, there’s a hole in your castle
this is past woke, revolutionary
overthrow the kingdom that wanna keep our solution buried
go against the lion defiant, that’s my alliance
i ain’t lyin’, i’m a zebra, the leader, a freakin’ tyrant
[chorus]
behold the striped horse
rebellion is the right course
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna fight for, yeah
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna die for
behold the striped horse
rebellion is the right course
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna fight for, yeah
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna die for
[verse 2]
live and direct, from the rapper that never put on a dress
metaphorically and literally, like all the rest
ain’t no horsin’ around, this ain’t no porcelain crown
i represent for my ancestors, the origin proud
i wear my stripes, make ‘em stare and glance
clearly a man, it’s in my genes to wanna wear the pants so here i am
in this war, ain’t no tryna abort, they know
their little brain storms ain’t touchin’ my tornadoes
these hurricanes blur my brain with the melanin struggle
intelligent one who was sent to the ghetto like hussle, nipsey
but like a gypsy, you look and you probably miss me
just like those who were implying that i ain’t history
you can’t decide? keep asking why
you might be the walking dead but you fools cannot deny, look
i pull out the sword, get to cuttin’ like the nah
i got something for you motherf-ckers if you wanna try, ah
[chorus]
behold the striped horse
rebellion is the right course
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna fight for, yeah
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna die for
behold the striped horse
rebellion is the right course
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna fight for, yeah
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna die for
[verse 3]
by the time that you hear this, i’ll be on the continent
spittin’ knowledge for the people that’s seeking some common sense
but the problem with common sense it really ain’t common
i’m woke but i’m ghetto so i really ain’t common
my inner circle told me, “o’hene, this perfect timing”
these capitalists are only in ghana to fill their wallets
so get your money, gh, but watch for the [?]
know your rights as an artist, love your country more than dollars
the enemy is coming, the enemy is coming
protect your industries or eventually they’ll run it
your media is how you communicate to the army
most don’t know they at war, so this music it ain’t alarming
i gave my life, tell the blacks watch they backs
but the moment the money came, they all said relax
the devil plays the right tunes he knows will make you dance
it doesn’t take much, a little power, little cash, but not me
[chorus]
behold the striped horse
rebellion is the right course
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna fight for, yeah
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna die for
behold the striped horse
rebellion is the right course
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna fight for, yeah
tell me what the (-pause-) you wanna die for
