1960. by Ravenous_SA published on 2021-05-28T17:59:13Z [Verse One] My picture's painted In Blood & mud , a different texture Magnify the detail , you get blown away by the bigger picture 1960 was the year of independance Who knew that African men Could ever be masters For us to own masters We did'nt feel the pain but the wound started to get infected Along the way Shit was'nt gon'be the same The strain if niggas growin up Into slavery as if our genes Have got a memory & still remember vividly - 1960 6-9 souls , shot infront'a police station All because they wanted To be free Only thing that they was Askin for was the key The art of us still reaping The benefits in poverty - so we flee From our minds If only we knew that this Life is like monopoly You gotta sell what is uniwue That is the only way You gonna reach your peak And so to speak may it be , i pierce your soul Only to heal it I know someone who been outa steal it Same reason that ma niggas still stuck in the state of mind That they losin they're minds Subconciously keepin themselves behind Now back to the massacre That left a massive scar Only because of the pass law The ville flooded in blood Does Cole feel that ? Does cold feel like that ? Some blues got the whole world dressed in all black Attire , i was born tired But descended so i could never retire Got the drive even on a flat tyre , i inspire It's me you should admire nigga , cause i was born for this . [Verse two] Seventeen african countries Declared independance Finally in some of our land we ain't tenants It's 1960 baby It's 1960 baby Don't belong to no nappy nigga Nobody to pull the trigger No more sippin on wasted liwour Things only gettin better 19600 - the last knot crossed That's for the one's that lost their lives Tryna tie the knot , so we did'nt have to be on the same spot My worst fear Was growin up only to crack under pressure And smoke crack like the other niggas But as time went - learnt to be real to myself To a different measure ....
