Cutuca machuca, I swear we never surrender
Focado na luta, um gajo nunca se vende
My people salut, I'm ready to play again
They paint us like a fool, we need to buy everything
Cutuca machuca, I swear we never surrender
Focado na luta, um gajo nunca se vende
My people salut, I'm ready to play again
They paint us like a fool, we need to buy everything
Sankara, Lumumba, Nkruma, X, Cabral, Nzinga, Machel
I'm my own company shut up
Me don't fear nobody shut up
I'm trying to get my own Money, no lock up
Sharp mind like Ali, Knock out
Happy slave they want distract me, but I don't want to they take care of me eeh
You need to learn to fish, I told you
The who who feed you control you
(Eeh)
Young man you need look back, before you take those next steps
They don't want to see with wealth
They don't want to see you build
They want to you to work until your death
My Dad call me sucka, he said go worka
I told him about my dream, he don't give a fuck
But fuck them
You have gift to reveal eh, you need believe in yourself yeah
Stay focus don't matter, don't matter
They want for we kill each other
It's was suppose help my brotha
When I look at you, I see greatness
Greatness, greatness
When I look at you, I see greatness
Greatness kuadanaa
Cutuca machuca, I swear we never surrender
Focado na luta, um gajo nunca se vende
My people salut, I'm ready to play again
They paint us like a fool, we need to buy everything
Cutuca machuca, I swear we never surrender
Focado na luta, um gajo nunca se vende
My people salut, I'm ready to play again
They paint us like a fool, we need to buy everything
That's my woman, my gyal my number one
She said I'm top of the top, stuck on my grind
I'm trying keep poverty out of my mind
She said I can buy everything
So we wanna, wanna buy everything
Wanna, wanna buy everything
Cutuca machuca, I swear we never surrender
Focado na luta, um gajo nunca se vende
My people salut, I'm ready to play again
They paint us like a fool, we need to buy everything
Cutuca machuca, I swear we never surrender
Focado na luta, um gajo nunca se vende
My people salut, I'm ready to play again
They paint us like a fool, we need to buy everything
