Текст песни Kwame Nkrumah - Kojey Radical

Would you mind if I took a second to vent?
Would you respect me as a man if I gave you anything less than me?
My delusions of grandeur are far bigger than your assumptions
Far past the comprehension and narcissism
I really do feel like I'm the faeces you perceive me to be
Lay your thoughts still
I step forth with course direction
This self-esteem
A worthy weapon to these obstacles I've grown accustomed
What I do not speak into existence will only fall by the waist side
Waste not want, wanting not to be a waste is only a crime to
The disheartened crowd
Simmer down, simmer down

Would it be selfish if I prayed for patience
When the only time I do is when my soul feels vacant?
Sea blues in the muddy waters
Sing my sorrows in the truth
Is a poem still a poem if it's self-centered?
Find I right just to center myself
See the proof. One breathe out for relief
Another in begin to vent
Preach, please
Take a couple nines to the one per cent
Oh I must be
I was given no other option
Propped up to position by leaning on all my problems
Hear the dialogue
Know what they paint me as
I'm human, don't we share the same species?
If I must be the radical don't shoot me for a retweet
Sing about me
Sing my lows as well as victories
Teach my wrong and speak my history
Craft just how they remember me
A man of action and of thought
And of course a couple daisies by my corpse
Oh I must be, trust me
You agree and I'm the hero
If you don't then it's fuck me
I don't talk my truth for hugs
I don't need you all to love me
Just to listen
Forgiveness or permission
I've been around the kings
I've been around the victims
I've been around the queens
I've been around the riches
I've fasted with the Muslims
I've prayed with the Christians
I've been around the desperate
I know why they did it
I've lived through the evils
I've stood with the people and they look at me
And they look at me

They look at me
They look at me
They look at me
They look at me
They look at me like a winner now
'Cause I had a dream and I chased it
I thought that running the easy part
It's really much harder maintaining
I pray for peace, pray for patience
Hope they can hear my frustrations
I wear my fear like a fragrance
They will not falter my cadence
I cry the tears of a nation
They think they're Tony Montana, I think I'm Kwame Nkrumah
I think I'm Kwame Nkrumah
You will not give me my freedom
I cry the tears of a nation
They think they're Tony Montana, I think I'm Kwame Nkrumah

Oh damn I'm important
I hope I don't lose my endorsements
'Cause they keep on telling me shhhhh
And I keep on talking and talking away
Let's just hope that they got me
Bang this on loud from the coast to Kumasi
Bang this on loud from the coast to
Bang this on loud

Belly empty like action with no thought(wise)
Men don't follow blind men to war(sharpen)
My attire so you pardon my decor(um)
Do you remember the depths from which we start from
Young soldier I admire your resilience
A young mind should never fear the experience
I paved ways to pay dues in diligence
While looking at what's mine like a privilege
By far the greatest wrongs are inflicted on self
The weight of our opinions
Now dicated by wealth
Wait, the position of my passion now placed on both shoulders
I will speak for the ones who see hope but feel hopeless
I was born with the gold embedded deep in my roots
Where a couple of the cities pay police not to shoot
Your people have seen war but they do not have a clue
My people have seen more, and wear compassion has the proof
My daddy was a member of the CPP
If ignorance is what they teach then they need not preach
The blackened star may shine bright
And guide my feet forever forward
Through heavy waters like it's not that deep
I find the nerve of my peers unsettling
Willing to sell evil to their people, to profit off their people
I was looking like a prophet to my people
But they never asked nothing of my people
Simply spoke to my people
Now, they look at me, they look at me

They look at you and they look at me
And they look at us and they look at we
And they look at you and they look at me
And they look at

They look at me like a winner now
'Cause I had a dream and I chased it
I thought that running the easy part
It's really much harder maintaining
I pray for peace, pray for patience
Hope they can hear my frustrations
I wear my fear like a fragrance
They will not falter my cadence
I cry the tears of a nation
They think they're Tony Montana, I think I'm Kwame Nkrumah
I think I'm Kwame Nkrumah
You will not give me my freedom
I cry the tears of a nation
They think they're Tony Montana, I think I'm Kwame Nkrumah
