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
