Incendiary single from the forthcoming Tolika Mtoliki album from The Brother Moves On.
“You Think You Know me” re-visits and re-inserts Mongezi Feza’s classic anthem “You Ain’t Gonna Know Me Because You Think You Know Me" into the volatile context of South Africa’s inheritance of corruption, Covid...
[Verse]
You think you know me
Bishop Tutu hugging, doves flying
Candles lighting, TRC bullshit liking
You think you know me
You think you know me
But you don't remember who you married
Where you married
What you married
But know you're married
You think you know me
You think you know me
Eish, I hate COVID, yazi?
Social distancing, PPE tendering
Iyoh! lento is'phethe!
Doctors dying but some of you call it the flu
Iyoh! But we're dying, hey!
You think you know me
You think you know me
Fire pool swimming
I want my day in court
But I'm not coming to the Zondo Commission
After sex
Niece raping shower domkop
You think you know me
You think you know me
With your Mr. McDonald's, "I'm loving it"
It's a new dawn
I once knew a dawn
I usеd to use Dawn in the ninetiеs
Can I put a new Dawn on his ashy, bloody, Marikana hands?
You think you know me
You think you know me
You 5G fearing
Liberation party cheering
Conspiracy theorist
Vegan, fascist, purist racist
Classist and bigots
That still roll with homophobic tendencies
You think you know me
You think you know me
While your multi-coloured flag
Ask hoekom? Why?
Level 4 load shedding Eskom
Shedding the load of townships
Still paying for Black hardship
Electronic reparations
At least, it's not the hardship of being taken on a ship to America
You think you know me
You think you know me
You think you know me
While you place Enoch Songtonga's prayer next to "Die Stem"
A Nazi war cry next to a prayer
For God to save Africa
Maybe that's the problem
God never saves Africa
You think you know me
You think you know me
You think you fucking know me, that's the problem
[Outro]
You think you know me
You think you know me
You think you know me
You think you know me
