Lyrics
As I walk this wicked ground
Keep me away from the Devil's palm
I am the-
How dare you?
I was shutting down the world and it scared you
Can't hold a girl down that is this bad
Shape nice with my nails and my hairdo
Not the type that will trip off nostalgia
Talk nice, but my silence is louder
Spend 'nuff, but my finances louder
I'm not the type to abuse all my power
Realness in the village I come from
All my dargs gotta sleep with a muzzle
You can move shapes around all you want
But know I'm the missin' piece to the puzzle
As I walk this wicked ground
Keep me away from the Devil's palm
I am the-
Can't ever forget when the shit stayed flooded
Niggas didn't believe in my hustle
Could've drowned but I stayed with the mic
Why you niggas all bark, no bite?
They obsessed with my genius plan
And that's being as free as I can
They want you to stop, then they leave you to rot
But that's just not my frequency, man
As I walk this wicked ground
Keep me away from the Devil's palm
As I walk this wicked ground
Keep me away from the Devil's palm
I am the light
Andnantanga mna mfanaka
Anzodlala nabantwan
I am the light
Bonke now baqhwabizandla
Neentaka zichomi zam
Number one is play your position
Don't trust all the hands that you shake
If I put the wrong code in the system
Won't be no permanent change
Number two, don't take it personal
This place is infested with snakes
Don't get caught in your own trap
Every bad breed has a good trait
Number three, take care of yourself
Be vigilant, mind who you help
You pray you can make it heaven
And they're 'tryna drag you to hell
Number four, don't react to a clone
Don't be the one throwing stones
Never eat with the hyenas
'Cause they will look at you as bones
Number five, keep the business away from the family
Sibling rivalry's vicious
It's meant to be you and them guarding the blood
Protecting the family business
Six- don't quit
Keep building it brick by brick
Takes a million to send to prison
A million to get you a house in the sticks
As I walk this wicked ground
Keep me away from the Devil's palm
As I walk this wicked ground
Keep me away from the Devil's palm
I am the light
Andnantanga mna mfanaka
Anzodlala nabantwan
I am the light
Bonke now baqhwabizandla
Neentaka zichomi zam
Ndiyeke
Bheka mina phezkomhlab
Ndiyeke
Emazwen igamalam (I am the light)
Andnantanga mna mfanaka
Anzodlala nabantwan (I am the light)
Bonke now baqhwabizandla
Neentaka zichomi zam
