richie gathu & kaymnb3atz - scary times lyrics
[verse 1]
scary times now i’m always praying for my brothers
scary times now your opps are moving undercover
got you checking your surrounding you can’t trust each other
only person i can trust always been my mother
there’s brothers on the streets suffering post trauma disorders
the government don’t help us they take funding and avoid us
became desensitised to this life it’s what they taught us
but we can make history we just gotta keep the focus
keep the onus on your strength
they love to wear us down until there’s nothing left
you show a lil emotion suddenly you’re always vex
character assassination sentencing to death
every black in an office knows we have to watch our tone
gotta switch up your persona not like how you’re with the bros
this the life we get but this ain’t the life we chose
in the concrete we’re the rose black is beauty black is bold
all your stories need be told i could only tell you mine
never been a street n_gga but i never lost the grind
i keep it in my mind if i work it’ll be my time
imma rep nairobi til my death we’ll always shine
type of glow you see brighten up a night sky
let em see just who we are we don’t need to act shy
you see me screwfacing swear i’m a nice guy
i’m just working on some sh_t that can bring me peace of mind
got the inside scoop and we come from the outside
from the east to the west our path followed the sunshine
this journey takes a toll i need a break sometimes
then i remember how it started and i’m right back on the climb
my parents left nairobi i could barely take a step
to build a life for me so imma hustle til my death
could never pay them back with all the riches in the world
but i can make ‘em proud like i always said i would
i could show my sisters and my brothers just how i did it
i could build the blueprint for my cousins so they re_live it
i’m only but a man but i swear i’ll leave my mark
when i’m gone remember me for what i did like tony stark
hope i don’t lose my head like ned imma keep it level
kept belief in the lord at times was dancing with the devil
now i see with clear vision had to let the dust settle
always had a cause it’s why i turned into a rebel
got so much ahead i’m still haunted by my past
the things i would do different if i had a chance
i coulda been a goner when i nearly cracked my skull
god had many plans for me knew my time was far from done, word
[chorus]
protect me from foes they could never make me fold
lock my body in a cage they could never trap my soul
this life is full of trials it could never take its toll
imma always stand proud they could never make me fall
yeah
night runners to the world, night runners to the world, night runners to the world
[verse 2]
chances for the taking are you sleep or you awaking
every word i speak i make it sound like it’s a statement
i’m speaking for a nation nah i’m speaking for a race
they gon learn to hear our voice it’s time we took back our sp_ce
they see us with our styles and they’re quick to call it ghetto
kardashians do it they singing praises in falsetto
dior the other day dropped a collection use our prints
gentrify our culture to them it’s just fashion’s latest thing
they’re stealing all our gems history repeats itself
take from us and keep us poor while they benefit with wealth
play the cards that you were dealt pray that luck is on your side
they can try and steal our wave and get swept up by the tide
learnt our lessons full of pain so don’t tell me let it slide
paint a brush on their atrocities and endless war crimes
had my people working day and night on their own home turf
until the mau mau said enough come get this work
and to get it straight i ain’t condoning their actions
when push comes to shove have to be ready for reactions
blacks lives matter always say it with a passion
and what about whites stupid question that they clash on
given all the chances in the world we getting rations
as if they don’t get enough protection and compassion
you seen them videos choke us to death outside the stores
throw you in the cell to die cus your car light don’t work no more or
god forbid you have a hoodie on then you know that it’s a wrap
or you walk in their direction you get pointed with the strap
makes them feel invincible would love to see them in a scr_p
always quick to pull the trigger bet you ain’t quick with your hands look
they’ll hear this say i’m promoting violence as usual
the message i’m promoting comes with nothing but confusion
they’ll say it’s why so many young blacks keep harming each other
‘posed to be our brother’s keeper but instead we harm our brothers
it breaks my heart how regular death becoming
take a life it’s all for nothing we gotta rise way above it
they wanna bring back stop and search so they can curb
the weapons being carried that affects us not the ‘burbs
i can only hope and pray as a people we evolve
in the midst of all the darkness be the flower that’ll grow
why i study the goats my destiny to be like hov
see the spark turn it bright bring light to shine thru the road
you see raheem became the face of their oppression
doing what they love can’t escape racial transgressions
can’t physically chain him so they use words as a weapon
but my guy gave a smile and levelled up man what a lesson
i know he seen there’s more to be gained when you’re a winner
when i have a daughter make sure that she knows about serena
so she never has to question her place
and if they hold her down i pray they have a saving grace
wanna test our wrath well it’s time you got a taste
keyboards make em brave it ain’t the same face to face
they‘re waiting for a slip so we get slapped up with a case
we ain’t asking for too much just to live knowing we’re safe
and we ain’t forgotten you forgot grenfell tower
all you politicians looking like a bunch of cowards
injecting tens of m’s into the case of maddie m
giving those families empty promises again
years of disappointment that’s on you theresa may
you gave it all you got for our sake call it a day
you really had no shame steer a ship until its sinking
left us worse than you took us what the f_ck were you thinking
hook:
protect me from foes they could never make me fold
lock my body in a cage they could never trap my soul
this life is full of trials it could never take its toll
and imma always stand proud they could never make me fall
yeah
protect me from foes they could never make me fold
lock my body in a cage they could never trap my soul
this life is full of trials it could never take its toll
and imma always stand proud they could never make me fall, forreal
yeah, yeah, night runners to the world, night runners to the world
uhhh, look, yeah, look, look, night runners to the world, night runners to the world
