‘Katlego’ Lamar’s Verse On "Blacker The Berry" Rewritten The South African Way #StopXenophobia

Kendrick-Lamar-2013-597x351

We might just be the biggest hypocrites of 2015
once I finish this, South Africans will convey just what I mean

Thinking maliciously, if he come to my hood ima burn him
It’s sad how when we seeked refuge they let us in

It’s funny how 2 former cadres might go to war
Two political leaders that want to enrich and defraud
Reminds me of these fat cats that go to parliament and sleep
Beefing with each other, only ‘point of order’ settle the score..

So don’t matter how much I say I like maintaining Mandela’s legacy
Or tell all the scholars “Thabo Mbeki got all the answers”
Or Vote for ANC coz they the fathers of freedom
Or raise income taxes and and tell you to get an e-tag

Or celebrate Chad Le Clos because I’m a big fan of swimming
Or dive deep enough to land in the president’s fire pool
Or buy a new Beamer that will lead me to debt
So why did I build a compound when my people were starving?
When tribalism and ignorance made me kill a brother as African as me?

Hypocrite!!
