Kleurling

[Intro]
Uh, doing this shit for the coloureds
Ya, doing this shit for the…

[Chorus]
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds

I send this one out to my brothers
And all of the sisters who love us
And all of those stuck in the gutters
This one go out to the coloureds

Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds

I send this one out to my brothers
And all of the sisters who love us
And all of those stuck in the gutters
This one go out to the coloureds

[Verse 1]
Deep in my skin, I feel it within
I hope you can swim the water is deep where do I begin
I’m rapping a hymn, to protect me from the Jinn
Because I don’t want him to win
I am the wind beneath the wings
Now, kneel at the ring
Coz I am a king
And look where I’ve been
I’m dropping a pin, I send a lokasie
I’m in Beijing pulling the strings
We fight for a cause
Never tighten our jaws
We settling scores, we kicking in doors, we opening stores
We going on tours and look how they stare when I’m in the chair
I think they scared, they better prepare
They know we unique, they know that we rare
We saying awe my fists in the air
I walk in a march, on the ouens behalf
While you running a bath, it’s funny you laugh with no street smarts
I’m having a blast, I’m breaking a cycle
I’m aiming the rifle
Do you pray to the bible or Quranic recitals
Native and tribal, you think you a idol?
You wanna go viral
You wanna be in the finals but you don’t wanna be titled as a…

[Chorus]
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds

I send this one out to my brothers
And all of the sisters who love us
And all of those stuck in the gutters
This one go out to the coloureds

Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds

I send this one out to my brothers
And all of the sisters who love us
And all of those stuck in the gutters
This one go out to the coloureds

[Verse 2]
Make your decision based on my appearance
But I take it head on in danger I’m fearless
Time is of essence I feel this is urgent
I am on earth for a purpose
I’m a divergent, I’m a nightmare
The prophecy’s coming I hope you prepared
Traveled around but nothing compares the way that we do it is always with flair
Spilling my guts bit in the dust
The chosen ones suffer I know that it’s us
Skarreled a pad, dawn out of dusk
It’s making us strong like a elephant's tusk
It’s making me jas, but I adjust
And I adapt, I’m doing it klas
Stoute kabouter ek’s voor in die klas
You try on my skoene but it didn’t pas
Back of the bus, because of my race
All of the trails I’d rather embrace
A matter of politics this is debate
I hope I do not become a disgrace
Coz I am a messenger, I am a spokesman
Delivering like I am postman
I’m living my life like it’s golden
Bolder than Hulk Hogan’s
We are the missing components
Poetically I will expose it
You know that you cannot control it
A coloured authentic Capetownian
In the gutter like a dirt bin
Steeking gatte like doorings
From now on I’m gonna tell the laaities
Do your mondeling on a kleurling, that’s us

[Chorus]
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds

I send this one out to my brothers
And all of the sisters who love us
And all of those stuck in the gutters
This one go out to the coloureds

Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds
Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds

[Outro]
There was a very strong dispute among the coloureds
Because the coloureds is a mixture between the white man and according to them, they say the black, that was brought in here
And because some of them were very fair in complexion
Or fair of skin, rather put it that way
They called them cape coloureds for the mere fact is they couldn’t differentiate between the white and the coloured
Is he a white man?
So they called him a cape coloured
There was also a thing
They called them cape malays, because of the cape malay’s
Because ok, he’s lived down in the cape here
And what do we call the cape, the the malay that lives up in Johannesburg
And what do we call the one that live in Durban
Durban malay?
Johannesburg Malay?
They call them the cape malays
Because it all started down here in the cape when they brought these slaves here
There’s no sea water in the in Johannesburg
If you go to the history where it started
They talk about the history of South africa
They talk about Cape town coloureds
I’ve never hear of Saartjie Baartman
I’ve heard of the strandloper
According the history books that I went to school
Early 52's
The year 1952 they talk about the strandloper
And they said he was the coloured man
They said he was a lazy man so hanged out on the beach
What are we talking about here
