Lost by Parley Wang Lyrics
Chorus: Parley Wang]
Scraping through the trash for a Rand and a dream
You can't reach the bottom clean
Fuck it what we'll take what we get yeah
At the mercy of the jungle for the color of my skin
We been fighting for what's right
But we'll take what we get
[Verse 1: Parley Wang]
A Benz from a bin
For he'd never been in a Benz
Never should stall if you can play football
Be a dj or a spinner
At the very least..
There a couple ways of - walking the plank out the township
Mine is a home studio in a RDP
I pump out mp3's
Gotta watch out for the jealous B's
Coz thеy ain't kind and target our kind
When we do thе grind, we could do the time
Smoking on some scans from Big Dawgy Dawgs left over grams
If & when he's out, if hes in we make another plan
Hit the main road just to hear who we lost today
Peep the lil gitas, thank the lord they're here another day
Hoping that we live to see a happily, ever after all
Yearning for some power and to ball, be it off the Powerball
[Chorus: Parley Wang]
Scraping through the trash for a Rand and a dream
You can't reach the bottom clean
Fuck it what we'll take what we get
At the mercy of the jungle for the color of my skin
We been fighting for what's right
But we'll take what we get
[Verse 2: Parley Wang]
Paraffin lamps hold no fortune
You can rub & rub but..
No friction brings to fruition
Better living conditions
Or guaranteed safety and courage for young black girls to dream
What are we to do?
He put a shoulder to the wheel & brother can't get grease for them new sneaks
A.I do all the jobs
Left us on the block tryna catch up, took the corn right off the cob
Most my people still living in pieced up cardbox houses
Then made us the faces of corruption like we bout it
Shit you probably bougie wanna accuse me for my Uzzi yea'
People in Tembisa live vicariously through me yea'
Hoping that they live to see a happily ever after all
Yearning for some power and to ball, be it off the Powerball
[Chorus: Parley Wang]
Scraping through the trash for a Rand and a dream
You can't reach the bottom clean
Fuck it what we'll take what we get
At the mercy of the jungle for the color of my skin
We been fighting for what's right
But we'll take, we'll take, we'll take, we'll take
Scraping through the trash for a Rand and a dream
You can't reach the bottom clean
Fuck it what we'll take what we get yeah
At the mercy of the jungle for the color of my skin
We been fighting for what's right
But we'll take what we get
