You wanna go viral You wanna be in the finals but you don't wanna be titled as a… [Chorus] Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds I send this one out to my brothers And all of the sisters who love us And all of those stuck in the gutters This one go out to the coloureds Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds I send this one out to my brothers And all of the sisters who love us And all of those stuck in the gutters This one go out to the coloureds [Verse 2] Make your decision based on my appearance But I take it head on in danger I'm fearless Time is of essence I feel this is urgent I am on earth for a purpose I'm a divergent, I'm a nightmare The prophecy's coming I hope you prepared Traveled around but nothing compares the way that we do it is always with flair Spilling my guts bit in the dust The chosen ones suffer I know that it's us Skarreled a pad, dawn out of dusk It's making us strong like a elephant's tusk It's making me jas, but I adjust And I adapt, I'm doing it klas Stoute kabouter ek's voor in die klas You try on my skoene but it didn't pas Back of the bus, because of my race All of the trails I'd rather embrace A matter of politics this is debate I hope I do not become a disgrace Coz I am a messenger, I am a spokesman Delivering like I am postman I'm living my life like it's golden Bolder than Hulk Hogan's We are the missing components Poetically I will expose it You know that you cannot control it A coloured authentic Capetownian In the gutter like a dirt bin Steeking gatte like doorings From now on I'm gonna tell the laaities Do your mondeling on a kleurling, that's us [Chorus] Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds I send this one out to my brothers And all of the sisters who love us And all of those stuck in the gutters This one go out to the coloureds Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds, Coloureds [Outro] There was a very strong dispute among the coloureds Because the coloureds is a mixture between the white man and according to them, they say the black, that was brought in here And because some of them were very fair in complexion Or fair of skin, rather put it that way They called them cape coloureds for the mere fact is they couldn't differentiate between the white and the coloured Is he a white man? So they called him a cape coloured There was also a thing They called them cape malays, because of the cape malay's Because ok, he's lived down in the cape here And what do we call the cape, the the malay that lives up in Johannesburg And what do we call the one that live in Durban Durban malay? Johannesburg Malay? They call them the cape malays Because it all started down here in the cape when they brought these slaves here There's no sea water in the in Johannesburg If you go to the history where it started They talk about the history of South africa They talk about Cape town coloureds I've never hear of Saartjie Baartman I've heard of the strandloper According the history books that I went to school Early 52's The year 1952 they talk about the strandloper And they said he was the coloured man They said he was a lazy man so hanged out on the beach What are we talking about here
