Preferred Band/Artist: AKA
Chorus:
We're all consumed by material things
Most people these days want imperial bling
Imperial beings, living in imperial dreams
Ignorant to the problems that reality brings
The bling watch
Needed to impress the girl the clique wants
So he gets up in the morning
And he doesn't even wash
Goes out to make money
Just to buy the fresh ice
So the girl says nice
Maybe get
To hit it twice
Forgetting about his family at home that needs cash
Forgetting about his mother at home that needs love
Replacing that form of love
With this lust
To make matters worse
She has the virus
God help us, man, is this what your son really died for?
For people to indulge in all this evil
It's like the bling and money mean so much to people
To the point they forget important people
Just to get a lil praise
Get the girls in amaze
But I'm sure there are better ways
Maybe chase your dreams first
In hope for better days
Get your fam' a crib first
Then the finer things
Bridge:
Man, Is this what material things do bring?
Forget about your family at home to have bling?
Forget about your family at home to get chicks?
I ain't interested in this
Man, you can have it
Chorus
Man, we trapped in the system like HIV
'Cause they tell us that we need these things
To be seen as a legend or the next great thing
Jay Z has a nice big ring
Couple houses he ain't never seen
Jacob Zuma in the South has a nice big crib
The surroundings are some RDP's
And you're tell me that he cares about the country and all its peeps?
The ANC slogan
Man, it's talking crap
Talking about "Together we are one"?
Do you see that crap?
All I see is this selfishness
And the president living in this nice big place
Having bedrooms that he doesn't need
While our country is surrounded by some homelessness
Do you see the needy?
Yet he's still being greedy
And you tell me Hellen Zilla is talking smack
Nah homie, you're the one that's talking smack
