Blood
Zakwe Lyrics

Coming for everything they said that we would never have
We are determined to achieve everything that others said we could never have.

Let's just remain humble, and never ever brag
We should stay humble and avoid boasting about our accomplishments.

I know changes gon’ come 'till they rate us number 1
I believe that we will continue to improve until we are recognized as the best.

It's all new blood, Time to give it all you’ve got
We have a fresh perspective and it's time to give our best effort.

We won't stop until we all win
We will not give up until we all achieve success.

And then we do it all over again
Once we achieve success, we will start the process again.

This is music on a higher level
The music I create is elevated and of superior quality.

Watch me take it back to the surface
Witness as I bring it back to the forefront.

What's worse is, it's now for the internet where the surf is
Unfortunately, it's now all about the internet and catering to popular trends.

It's now for the intellects that dumb it down so you get this
Nowadays, the focus is on catering to those who prefer simplified content.

I know my current flow is electrifying the circus, word is
I am aware that my current style is captivating and energizing the music industry.

Black child you were born to be the greatest
As a black person, you were destined to achieve greatness.

Ng’yazi k’nzima ukuyiqala kepha asi-focus-e kuma-endings
I know it's difficult to start, but we should not lose focus on the end goals.

Ideas I pitch are worthy, I'm never nervous
I confidently present ideas that are valuable and never feel anxious.

I’m always gonna pitch whenever sibanika umpentshisi
I will always present my ideas when given the opportunity.

Yeah that's a fruitful thought I'm ready to serve it
That's a valuable idea that I am prepared to offer and execute.

Ngihlanganisa amagama like I'm writing in cursive
I blend words together skillfully, as if I'm writing in cursive.

Verses that I lace are never found under curtains
The verses I create are always upfront and never hidden.

And angizwani nok’ngcola I'm not the one to be messed with
I am not intimidated and should not be taken lightly.

I'm a survivor ngiphusha kumnyama kubovu
I am a survivor, transcending darkness and difficulty.

Ngiy' guerrilla elifel'empini soze ngixakwe amagovu
I am a warrior fighting in the battlefield, never to be defeated.

Since way way way back islonda asikakapholi
Since the ancient times, we have been oppressed.

Yith abantu abamnyama kanti yithi futh' abampofu
People of color, and the poor, have always been marginalized.

Kumele kwehle itofu
We need to overcome this oppression.

So, darky beka phansi intshiza
So, my fellow black people, let's work hard.

Sith' ukubambana ngezandla uy'gazi lami ngyak'feel-a
Let's unite and support each other, you know my passion is strong.

K'mele siziqhenye ngobuthina singahlekani makubhimba
We should stand together despite our differences to overcome challenges.

Since black is a color like the predicament years
As black people, our situation is comparable to the struggles we have endured over the years.

Wekhanda shisa mak'njena ungalinge ungivimbe
Stay focused and determined, don't underestimate or underestimate me.

Ushove iqupha phezulu mhla sekubuya lelizwe
Rise above the challenges when this world returns.

I'm black but don't get it twisted
I may be black, but don't misinterpret me.

I might be listed as black but I'm not blacklisted!
I may be classified as black, but I am not excluded or marginalized!

I got to endure just for going on
I have to persevere in order to keep going.

I'm chillin' like a villain, drinks spillin'
I am relaxed and carefree, enjoying my success.

Celebratin' like the album made a million
I am celebrating as if my album has sold a million copies.

And I'm willin' to make you fuck how anybody feelin'
I am determined to succeed regardless of what anyone else thinks or feels.

Dressed as innocent civilians and I'm here to make a killing
Presenting ourselves as ordinary people, but aiming to achieve great success.

Can't wait to see how they see me succeed
I am eager to witness how others will view my success.

I started with a dream, some skills I'm back as a thief
I began with a dream and developed my skills, becoming a master in my craft.

Them obstacles made it impossible
The challenges I faced seemed insurmountable.

Had to believe, that I'll make it

And there are others who dislike or are jealous of me.

'cause I prayed and I hustled while niggas waited
Because I worked hard and hustled while others waited.

And lookin' back from now, it's just safe to say I've upgraded
Reflecting on my journey, it's clear that I have improved and made significant progress.

'cause I've always seen progression in everything I created
I have always witnessed growth and improvement in everything I have created.

And all of y'all chicks I dated
And all the women I have been involved with.

So you can check the odds
You can compare the chances of my success.

And you surpassing my spot when I'm making hits with the gods?
Do you think you can surpass my position when I am creating hits with the best in the industry?

Don't get involved, this just some innocent bars
Don't be concerned, these are just innocent lyrics.

Let you rappers giving up, why you just might witness the cards

This is my last verse, I dedicate it to women
This is my final verse, and I want to dedicate it to women.
