Lyrics

Born average, I won't die that way though
Treat me presidential when you find me back home
Took a lil pilgrimage coz well, I needed hope
Scheme ntwana engoe who's dream was signing to Hov
Til' I told him "wena monna all of that shit's right here at home"
Another westernised African kid they blinded his scope
Ke mo o tla hlokomela hore there's a fight going on
Every time they shoot you down yo just let flight be your mode
And when everybody slept on me a Spirit came to tell me "Listen look no further you're the light!"
Even when you hear them say you'll never be what you're supposed to be look, they cant see it! They are blind
Because broken crayons them too still colour (Ooh yeah)
Oh broken crayons them too still colour
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah AH)
When I say I come from Chopper (Chopper)
They think I’m giving credit to my hood
So whats good
Either you become a door man or a gun man
Any option you pick end up dead on the floor man
O Gees tried to son me didn’t wanna become them
Ama about the funds so I guess I’m the gun man
Ohhhh
Had to let go of everything I know (thing I know)
Walking down this road where we seeing ghost
And when everybody slept on me a Spirit came to tell me "Listen look no further you're the light!"
Even when you hear them say you'll never be what you're supposed to be look, they cant see it! They are blind
Because broken crayons them too still colour (Ooh yeah)
Oh broken crayons them too still colour
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah AH)
Learning how to live with the skeletons in my closet
Moving with the remedy medicine open minded
Always had the voice I guess it took time to find it
Skimming on my enemies these **** loose guarded
Never ever run away from war that you started
And if my back against the rope then ama do something
One thing that I know I never had to prove nothing
So every time they shoot me down let flight be my mode
And when everybody slept on me a Spirit came to tell me "Listen look no further you're the light!"
Even when you hear them say you'll never be what you're supposed to be look, they cant see it! They are blind
Because broken crayons them too still colour (Ooh yeah)
Oh broken crayons them too still colour
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah AH)
Yeah
Where I am from the only language they understand is violence
So I’m just trying to tell the African kid that you need to be violent with your ambitions
Read a book and know that you got the power inside you
And never stay silent
