Take It Back

Every summer we are gonna have this kind of vigorous protest My hope is that it will be non violent I would hope that We can avoid riots because riots are self defeating and socially destructive I would hope that we can avoid riots But then we will be militant and as determined next summer and through the winter I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luthеr (King) I have a dream like Martin Luthеr (King) So I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko What good is a light that don't shine My people getting education but no jobs Doing anything and everything just to survive God's faith compromised the fake priests capitalize The government monopolize See the richer get richer and the poor stay poor My people pushed to the corners See crime's taking over And we need the hand of God like Maradona Cause corona is taking over but still I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) So I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko See Africa is not poor It's just poorly managed After so many years of democracy in SA Poverty still has a black face what a disgrace People aren't even eating they can't even say grace They got us displaced like a cyclone Idai Look at how we let our women getting raped killed and die All lives undone strange faces made familiar New nightmares to challenge our sleep I pray to God my soul to keep While I watch technology and religion collide Global warming mother earth is crying to mankind Mama Winnie give us a sign I know Mandela didn't die he multiplied The system giving us shit and can't give two plys I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired I'm sick and tired of seeing people die I'm sick and tired of seeing bodies multiply through femicide and black on black homicide but still I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) I have a dream like Martin Luther (King) So I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko And I write what I like like Steve Biko Biko Biko I have no doubt in my mind that people And I know people in terms of my own background Where I stay are not necessarily revengeful Nor are they sadistic in outlook
