Semi Savant by Mazbou Q Lyrics
Pụọ ebe a!
Get up outta my position (Position)
There ain’t a label, it’s a given (It's a given)
Some of y’all don’t really do this for a livin'
And it shows (Oh)
Here we go, gold overload
Oh no (Hey!)
You are not ready for war
You cannot ignore the Semi Savant
Woah stop actin’ like we haven’t conquered before (Nah)
Stay on the course
Semi Savant
Woah no (Hey!)
You are not ready for war
You cannot ignore the Semi Savant
Woah stop actin’ like we haven’t conquered before (Nah)
Stay on the course
Semi Savant
Ay
This the way it goes
I'm a Black star
Been shining for ages though
I gettin' plugs now
Some figures pay for those
I’m on a pathway and I think it’s paved with gold
Wait a minute!
What? (Woah!)
I been doin’ this for eons (For eons)
All this time, been disguised as a peon (A peon)
Big poppies wantin’ me to put the meek on
If it's you, you a sucka boy
Light that up with neon
I see chords as colours
I cause a ruckus
It's all or nothin'
They in awe and wonder
I force a stutter like they cords have ruptured
That's right
There's a king on the inside
That's why I keep the chin on the incline
The sun never say "For them I'm gonna dim mine"
So I won't negotiate the margin that I win by
Stand ground ‘til the feet go numb
Singin’ Fo, Fi, Fee Fo Fum
Ay
Jidenna say “The Chief don’t run”
My ancestors in the back like “Keep goin’ son!” (Hey)
A product of survivors (Yes!)
Luckily the black man never tire
And thankfully the black women take us higher
If you say you stand alone
Better get the strap
You a liar
Oh no (Hey!)
You are not ready for war
You cannot ignore the Semi Savant
Woah stop actin’ like we haven’t conquered before (Nah)
Stay on the course
Semi Savant
Woah no (Hey!)
You are not ready for war
You cannot ignore the Semi Savant
Woah stop actin’ like we haven’t conquered before (Nah)
Stay on the course
Semi Savant
We gather together
Then scatter and spread out
Emphatically chatter 'bout matters
Instead of proactive endeavours
It's taggin on twitter
It's glamour, it's glitter
And grammin' the picture
It's fashion playin' twister with activism
The act is visible for those who active listen and catch the difference
If passion fizzes when you can no longer market ya action
Then that's just social capitalism
Now listen
I got Afrikan vision
I want to gather the masses scattered
And shackled in systems lackin' the wisdom
Who actin like they in actual prisons
And introduce 'em to the valiant mission called Pan africanism
But it's a mistake to negate the Divine from equations
And cave into Satan
To aid and abet in his hatin'
And aim to create the exact situation we need liberation from
That's why I got to be a saintly son
Sometimes I feel like showin’ them I ain't the one
Some folks take to the street and wanna paint with blood
No Spiderman, but an Avenger's what we can't become
They say a legend's what I can't become
But that's hard for me to believe since I came from one
Actually two
Big up to Mama and Pa
Y’all made a semi savant
And now he’s ready for war
Oh no (Hey!)
You are not ready for war
You cannot ignore the Semi Savant
Woah stop actin’ like we haven’t conquered before (Nah)
Stay on the course
Semi Savant
Woah no (Hey!)
You are not ready for war
You cannot ignore the Semi Savant
Woah stop actin’ like we haven’t conquered before (Nah)
Stay on the course
Semi Savant
Put my feet down where I put ‘em down
Renegade stamps
They in every town
Cosmic timeline, round about
It ain’t everyday that it come around
Put my feet down where I put ‘em down
Renegade stamps
They in every town
Cosmic timeline, round about
It ain’t everyday that it come around
You-you-you
You are not ready for war
Semi Savant
Semi Savant
You are not
You are not ready for war
Semi Savant
Semi Savant
You-you-you
You are not ready for war
Semi Savant
Semi Savant
You are not
You are not ready for war
Semi Savant
Semi Savant
I guarantee you ain't seen a mind like this before
No way
Y'all just ain't ready to go toe to toe with it
I guarantee you
Y'all just ain't ready
Get up outta my position (Position)
There ain’t a label, it’s a given (It's a given)
Some of y’all don’t really do this for a livin'
And it shows (Oh)
Here we go, gold overload
