O’hene Savant
We Wuz Kangz
[Verse 1]
Tic-tac-toe, baby
(Now what kind of intro is that, O?)
I don’t know but it sound crazy
See I move with the ancestors
And you wonder why you can’t touch this
You hear it and wonder what the fuss is
Well, listen to me as I bust this
I’ve said it, we came out of Kemet
Now they call it Egypt ‘cause they wanna dead it
Tryna take the credit
‘cause if they admit it really isn’t Egypt
They who they deceive will redirect it
How you make a god a devil?
It’s kinda how you make a rock a pebble
It’s easy, you believe the lies they tell you
And buy whatever bull they try to sell you
I had a premonition that I beat ‘em with this ammunition
I’m a poet, not a politician
All you got is guns, I got vision
I can see the future and I’m winning
You too shortsighted, you don’t get it
Time about to give you all a business
Remember we was here in the beginning, we was
[Chorus]
We was kangz
We was who?
We was kangz
Now, tell me what you really think
Otherwise shut up, let us do our thing
We was what?
We was kangz
Said we who?
We was kangz
Now, tell me what you really think
And if not, shut up, let us do our thing
And how we gonna do it?
All night
How we gonna do it?
All night
When we gonna do it?
All night
Said we gonna do it all night
How we gonna do it?
All night
And we gonna do it all night
Said we gonna do it all night
Yes we gonna do it all night
[Verse 2]
And I ain’t standing for your flag either
Ain’t nobody protesting the cloth you ignorant underachiever
This about the racism
It’s a shame, we heard your Escapism
It’s a game, dummy, not a dang religion
So you can burn all your merch, you idiot
Watch out, time burn you up
Watch history burn you up
You celebrating all these murderers and criminals that you serve to us
While pillaging and killing millions and stealing villages and making billions and making promises and not fulfilling ‘em up on the internet in comment sections, silly men the type
[Chorus]
We was kangz
And he right
We was kangz
Now, tell me what you really think
Otherwise shut up, let us do our thing
We was what?
We was kangz
We was who?
We was kangz
Now, tell me what you really think
And if not, shut up, let us do our thing
And how we gonna do it?
All night
How we gonna do it?
All night
When we gonna do it?
All night
Said we gonna do it all night
How we gonna do it?
All night
And we gonna do it all night
Said we gonna do it all night
Yes we gonna do it all night
Now I got this song title from the internet comment section. You know every time I’m watching a video that has to do with like African history or black history, there’ll be somebody in the comment section trolling, saying “We was kangz.” So what I decided to do was take that phrase that they use disparagingly and make a song out of it, and that’s what you have here. Oh and beyond making a song, I also wanna make money off of that phrase, so to you trolls, I wanna thank you very much ‘cause actually it’s true. We was kings. We are kings. We are queens. No matter what you say and no matter how disparagingly you say it, that’s us. Run the hook...
[Chorus]
We was kangz
We was kangz
Now, tell me what you really think
Otherwise shut up, let us do our thing
We was what?
We was kangz
We was who?
We was kangz
Now, tell me what you really think
And if not, shut up, let us do our thing
Pay attention. I’ma give you the keys to the kingdom. Some of you have been seeking God in the skies. And you hope to find God beyond the clouds, in the stars. And then there are those who believe they’ll find God in a building, or in books. Still there are some who believe there is no God because they can’t find God in matter. From this day forth, find God within. Learn of the God in you
