(Luo)
Jopinyni neoko rwaka
Newawinjo matek, Jopinyni neoko rwaka
Wan nyithi nyasaye waonge pogruok moro amora
Obed mzungu, obed jarateng,
Wantee waromre embele mar nyasaye
Nyathina kik ideo, wantee wan nyithi nyasaye
Ibed jarateng, ibed jarachar, rembwa en achiel
Nyasaye to oruakowa wan duto
(English Translation)
People of this land did not welcome me
It was a difficult experience, people of this land did not welcome me
We’re children of God we don’t have any differences
Whether white, whether black
We’re all equal in the eyes of God
My child, don’t worry
We’re all children of God
Whether you’re black, whether you’re white, our blood is the same
God welcomes us all
(Chorus)
Seems like he’s living in the past
He’s just another outcast
Skin dark it’s hidden in a mask
Lights out
(Verse 1)
Dark skin that’s him with that grin
So bright next to that melanin
No care for his hair that fro
He was told it will never ever grow
His soul diminished, it’s finished
Speaking with an accent British
He sang with a different rhythmic
Flavour so different
Haters still listening
Though favour his vision
To acquire permission to lead his family tree
Standin’ up for his rights, equality
It’s his one and only chance opportunity
Impatiently trynna end this slavery
(Chorus)
Seems like he’s living in the past
But he’s just another outcast
Skin dark it’s hidden in a mask
Lights out
Seems like he’s living in the past
He’s just another outcast
Skin dark it’s hidden in a mask
Lights out
(Verse 2)
So I yell out brother, do you see me
I’m lost and blind have no vision
My intuition speaks
Then I yell out please sir, can you feel me
They tried to blame my decisions
I’m imprisoned and weak
Now listen
I had no other reason but to free my people slaving
Protecting what we still are still keeping my flag-waving
Reality’s that we are the epitome of a nigga
That mystical black figure
(Chorus)
Seems like he’s living in the past
He’s just another outcast
Skin dark it’s hidden in a mask
Lights
Seems like he’s living in the past
He’s just the other outcast
Skin dark it’s hidden in a mask
Lights out at last
Lights out

Resistance
Playback 808 Kingdom
DyspOra
It’s the boy from Meroe
My grandfather had three more wives than Fela Kuti
Predisposition to chasing down hella booty
Flix n chilling, watching parts of the movie
Then destiny start calling I gravitate to my duty
Overtime Dys, So illuminated I can over shine lights
We been killing time, tryna find life
But we all stars so we gotta shine bright..
I met the girl of my dreams last night
Went back to sleep but couldn't find her
I've been looking for her since last night
Now every single day is a reminder
But I ain't really tryna live on regret alone
I been working on a biz tryna get a loan
I've been tryna put the Kids in happy home
When I make it big put the family on
Multiply every single thing that the family owns
Playback mob don Corleone
Don't test for the kingdom man I go beyond
All measure
Time is priceless money the wrong treasure
Black diamond under this strong pressure
But I keep it to myself was never a Con-fesser
And I'm repping for the refugees
All round the world and the seven seas
They Lost everything so they plant seeds
Hoping that their sons and daughters grow to be better trees
And when you’re feeling down listen to this melody
let it give you ENERGY
Anything.. That you want, you can be
Plant the seed, in your mind
That’s the secret they ain’t willing to sell you
That’s the secret I’m willing to tell you!
I met the girl of my dreams last night, now she claiming I really wasn’t beside her
but I figured out my dreams last night, I gotta get chase this shit before my time’s up
so fuck all that trendy shit I’m a stay poetic
had a dream Anei told me get up and go get em
respected like a vet but I aint no veteran
dancing with the devil… and we slow stepping
but I’m inspired behind enemy lines
Jah told me go get em… DYS get em
It strikes fear when I mention
deadly bars, the shit I spit is life threatening
808 platoon soldiers are hard body
we break bread if I got it the squad got it
daily stress got me intaking narcotics
don’t let them fool you the truth is within
Che Guevera, Malcolm X… Let the REBELUTION begin!
And I'm repping for the refugees
All round the world and the seven seas
They Lost everything so they plant seeds
Hoping that their sons and daughters grow to be better trees
