𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬:
Greetings y’all
here’s a gratitude psalm
that’s for cocking an ear
to the nation’s biggest bum
Who willingly plunged into the eye of the hurricane
Where suffering was certain
but survival nay

Yet
However
Nonetheless
here we are!
Kassule
Kamulingue
and brother Ganga
all went under
each struggle has its toll
and we want to topple trolls
our eyes are on the prize
their eyes are on our skulls

Our dreams are our weapons
We’re on the move
The obedient laugh at us
but we ain’t got time to lose
Gathering maimed ideals
and liberated watchwords
Laughter will remain the best medicine against dos Santos

Chorus

Many are to blame for our demise
today we all cast stones
“all heads must roll”
Getting sluggish?
Nah just prudent and pondered
Smellin the putrid stench of skeletons in the closet

Plus the ghosts they insist to bring back
to haunt us
MPLA has caused damage beyond repair
blood, blood, blood, blood, blood
vampires sucking us dry
they stripped this land bare
but won’t grant us the peace to die

Neto told us first
but he himself became the wolf
Santos got cosy, loved it, he never got enough
Now we got JLo and people are on their heels
That’s one too many times that we’ve been played this film

It’s 2020 how can Paulo still be apt?
“Exploiters of the oppressed get the fuck out, fast!”
What you stole, give us back
may your soul rest intact
to endure what expects you
in the pen you gon’ be at.
