MUZUNGU (04:10)—pronounced: Moo-ZUN-Goo, Nyanja to English: “White Person”
lyrics
[HOOK]
As I peel in my skin
Dig in my vein
I'm watching the demons within
I'm watching this evil come out
As I’m tryna come in, and
As the rope on my chin
Chokes all my kin
I'm watching my niggas go limp
I'm watching these moments forever I'll never forget, get
[VERSE 1]
God say hang those niggas
No bandage needed
On the back of jesus
Where's Nebekenezer
Ecclesiastes, Jesus, or Bethlem, Caesar
With my head on the concrete,
Sole of slavers
Feel the taste of the underneath
It's mob behavior
If heaven needs 'em
They'll praise and lead 'em
Let's blame the eves then
Snakes for treason
The dead won't listen
If lord forgives em
He'll take a minute for selfish reasons
If hell forgives him
Have better chances
Avenge the past then
Let's take it back and just
Pay 'em back for every happenin’
[HOOK]
As I peel in my skin
Dig in my vein
I'm watching my demons within
I'm watching this evil come out
As I’m tryna come in, and
As the rope on my chin
Chokes all my kin
I'm watching my niggas go limp
I'm watching these moments forever I'll never forget, get
[VERSE 2]
In the land of the corpses of men
How hot can you get
Without forming a sweat
The jolting brung
By the molten of flesh
Convulsing strung
In the chorus of death, and
How is that any different from my life before
The fights, the wars
The light, the source
The right, the wrong
The Pike, the sword
Ibuprofen, lighter doses
Held up, in the psychy wards
A Black Woman
With plights ignored
The sight, behold
It’s frightening
The nights is porous
I just thought if my life’s important
I wouldn’t have to pay a fortune for life’s assurance, and
[HOOK]
As I peel in my skin
I need to win
So, tearing a piece from my limb
I'm thinking bout all of the shit that I need to forgive
Fuck, fuck
