Eight601 by TheSuperCapher Lyrics
[intro: theCapherets]
Where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
Where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
Where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
8601
[Verse 1: theSuperCapher]
Welcome to the land of corruption and injustice
Where any breath you take(mmhhh) might be the last one
We are living in hell, ain’t hard to tell
It’s so hard to escape, if you’re enslaved
By the words of the crooked, hypocrite preaches
Telling us we ain’t nothing and we believed that
Things ever since never been the same
Some are dead or in jail and I am out here
Trying to live this live one day at a time
Writing these rhymes, please don’t kill me now
I’m just a little kaffir with a head of dreams
The bucket list is too long, where do I begin?
I wa’nna live in a bigger house, with a bigger TV screen
Food to eat every day, man I wa’nna get paid
I am hungry
I wa’nna wear designer clothes I can’t pronounce their name
Fancy cars, but anyway
There’s no blurry line between good and bad
Pockets are full of others blood and sweat
The society is institutionalised
The lies are the truth; I’m no longer going to school
I joined a posse called “Bunch of assassins”
They’re catching bulls to the fools who don’t know where they are
Please don’t run when you see us come
As we welcome you to 8601
[Chorus 1: theSuperCapher, MuddyH, Timmy_turre, theCapherrets]
Ayo H, Where’re you from?
8601!
Ayo H, Where’re you from?
Don’t tell ‘em where you from (huuu)
Ayo H, Where’re you from?
8601!
Ayo H, Where’re you from?
8601!
[Verse 2: theSuperCapher]
Welcome to the land of tragedy and mass destruction
With that been said, le’mme tell you a story
About a kaffir who had dreams, hopes and wishes
And a tunnel vision, le’mme keep it short and simple
Over there, stood a man with a fist in the air
Talking about revolution everybody didn’t care
Over there, stood a man with a gun in his hand
Bang, bang, he is dead it’s so sad how it ends
Tears drop as we talk
Some of joy, somewhere not
We were sad, now we’re mad Dystopia on the block
Unjustified homicide, they turned blind eye
The eye is wide open if the victim is not us
Another child is being born
In this cruel world
Daddy’s gone, Mommy’s poor
Shoes are turned, tummy hurts
He gon’ grow up and be, bigger than his own life
Ha, I lied he go’nna die before he reach’ 21
Nobody wa’nna talk about, the truth and reality
Illusional democracy, sacrifice price
Yesterday we were having fun, today we are addicts
We hope that tomorrow we’ll be great parents
As we still waiting, let’s waste our lives
Drinking quarts, smoking loose draws and playing dice
And talk about what we’ll if we ruled the world
Watch the sun rise and set. Before the worst come the worst
Le’mme welcome you to the worst man’s dream
Things are upside down, man, it is what it is
All I know is nothing but misery and pain
Only way that I’m getting paid
So, you can call 10111 or 112
Thinking someone will come and rescue you
This is 8601, ain’t nothing new
Either way, man, I am getting paid
[Verse 3: theSuperCapher]
Welcome to the land of the brave, the land of royalty
Throughout this pain, we still walk with confidence
Walk with our chin up high
Illuminate the world with our mind ‘cause we’re far too kind
You better acknowledge my presence and pay me respect
Or else I’ll burn this world to ash and send it to hell
We can all wear crown, if stand you got ‘a bow
8601, and it is written on my heart, Yooo, I’m out
I would love to give a shout out (shout out to everybody), to everybody on the block
On the east side, west side what’s up
(le ko top’o, le ko down)
Ekse, watse, dintshang (Sure)
H is back, with a mad freestyle (Sure)
You better get back, nkare o nale nkane (Sure)
Bitsa matjale, o tloo solver fast
Where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
Where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
Where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
Don’t tell ‘em where’re you from
