African soldier Every sunrise got me feeling like life is over Sunny days are colder Feel alone, I need me a shoulder Have a check on my back, they put a cheque on my back My tusks are worth millions so I got a hex on my back I'm meant to lead a herd that's fighting for change yet I'm scared to stand up Fear of failure got me scared to man up So I'm in my room writing a bunch of sad stuff Running in fear across the African veld None fathom 'cause no one feels what I've felt On R20 notes yet none are taking notice Will I be buried in a bed of roses or in a pool of blood for piano keys and decor Wow my ivory has made a buzz For the past several centuries And I'm left to bleed with nothing but my songs as remedies I'm not feeling they energies Me and poachers are real enemies And I'm gon fight it off until I fuckin' rest in peace Die for Africa, that's patriotic Die for my people also patriotic I'm alive but killed for shit that's abiotic Let's make a change but I'm talking to deaf ears And that resurrected my next fears African soldier, he's the African soldier As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death With my spear to fight off whatever's coming next They wanna take us all out what do you expect Ain't gon shut my mouth or just pretend As if I'm blind, voiceless or deaf To the fact that my tusks are a cheque Give this fight my all and nothing less Me against the world that's life on the edge Soul What do they want from me, a lonely elephant The weight on my back, the stress on my back has become evident I guess RAW is no longer relevant Tell me how is poaching pertaining 'Cause it's a train we should be derailing Nobody cares that's what everybody said I just believe God's listening to my prayers I just believe so 'Cause even with pain I've been blessed with life Wish you could see the pain in my eyes The love in my heart that keeps me from getting to the top I've sinned myself against God, this is my redemption Instead of looking for love in a world that denies me its affection Mandelas got my people betraying each other Controlled by money and greedy entities And I hate it 'Cause it's forever locked in my memories This pen and book got me expressing my feelings in mysterious ways And they've been there in my most serious days Who started this? That's a mystery And 'cause of it I'm too scared to go the city I guess I'll be another figment of history If you ever need a shoulder, I'm never too busy African soldier, he's the African soldier As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death With my spear to fight off whatever's coming next They wanna take us all out what do you expect Ain't gon shut my mouth or just pretend As if I'm blind, voiceless or deaf To the fact that my tusks are a cheque Give this fight my all and nothing less Me against the world that's life on the edge Soul
