reason (za) - cashless society lyrics
“other than 1950 group areas act, the government created racially sacrigated areas and forcebly removed people from neightborhoods reserved for white people. from 1950 until 1983 one of the largest m-ss removals in modern history took place.”

[verse 1: reason]
i’m from a cashless society
the biggest part of the economy
where poverty is the equality
and everything happening violently
but then we talk about it quietly
and then we go about it cowardly
’cause getting arrested is never a stress for them n-ggas
they always gon’ cop a plea
that’s when they come back with a lot of beef
like they’re from miami, with all the heat
they wanting your numbers like lotteries
but like winning a grammy you gotta speak
they telling you shut up and drop on knees
you screaming and begging “oh stop it please”
they not even asking you properly
with your wife and the kids property
k1, k1, k1, i don’t know who’s safe though
we want paper major
anything gon change though
these drugs make us wake up
get the money any way though
they just make us braver
you can ask my n-gga dajo
nearly lost a finger tryna figure
why these little n-ggas got hate though
could’ve been the bigger n-gga
let it simmer, but it got a little racial
so then he went again
’cause he wouldn’t let [?]
little did he get it
you can never get a hater n-gga tryna waste you

“though apartheid was officially terminated in 1994, throughout south africa neighbourhoods are mainly structurally segregated and the vast majority of blacks citizens are in poverty”
[verse 2: ginger trill]
i’m from a broken society
lowest part of the economy
colonisers stole the land from us
but i’m not about the polotik
bottom line we at the bottom still
you gotta buy the land you want some property
wasn’t educated properly
f-ck i know about a t-tle deed
prolly catch me at the intersection
with a sign that says please hire me
no food, no money
no one to look up to or inspire me
the only people who survive here doin’ crime here
that’s the irony
but my people tired of crying here
busy dyin’ here
at the bottom of the crab bucket that we call society
hospitals got no cash, cop stations, no vans
skater kids got no vans
skater park got no ramps
thugs hang around and gang bang
kids caught up in the cross fire
over turf wars, gang land
swipe swipe no cash
my people ride or die, no gas
for the right price
know some bad guys who could drive by your mans
night night no lullaby
yeah i’m talking about the other side
my people come from the other side
where you either overcome or otherwise
become a victim of a system
perfectly designed for you to not survive in
like when nyaope hit the township
had them teenage boys wildin’
lives lost over violence
gun shots, screams, sirens
cameras ain’t go live then
they forgot about us, i remind them
