Lyrics For Holy Liquor By Gigi Lamayne
verse 1
Never knew that this shit would be hard
Signing one’s life away evidently we’re scarred
From all of the pain
And who do I blame
Except myself, believing there was change to the game
Who got Makeba shit, who got MaBrrr shit
Why are we behaving like this talent ain’t it
And yet I’m indie label
Repping SA ’til I doe
The others never care
They use our own to tell us lies
Black man is this the plight
Sisters put you down when the end is still in sight
I’m scared for my future kids, daughter in specific
She gon learn it all but she gon hate what is her image
You’re young and you’re blacker
Your hair don’t need relaxer
You’re blacker than the panther
You’re louder with your laughter
You’re clean and you don’t ever have to feel like you don’t belong
Luther King, Nkanyezi, you’re my little morning star
chorus
And we fall into the night
And we crawl, I might shiver
Holy liquor
But I’m forever, forever
verse 2
And artist ain’t a person at all
They laughing even harder when we stumble and fall
I really wanna know when it’s happy and stuff
They’re saying that we’re winning but it’s rigging and bluff
I want my mama to see me in moments
I want the camera steady with focus
Fall into grief, so please do what you need
I wanna sing, wanna bleed for my peeps
chorus x 2
