[Verse 1]
A lot of mense is hating but that’s not suprising
The hip hop game is like a country I am colonizing
This is my call of duty I’m not even pocket dailing
When I stiek uit it’s like the British and the Dutch arriving
When they landed at the sea shore
And they thought the Cape was just a detour
Educate yourself read more
Before they signing your deceased forms
I can’t tell you how this feels yoh
This the city I would bleed for
But I’m at the bottom of the seesaw
Hoping praying for a beanstalk
Cape flats or Sandton uh
I be lifting every sanction uh
Since the segregation happened uh
Why I feel like this the anthem uh
Sorry bru you must be lost
Now you acting posh, you a fake boss
You’ve been brainwashed to the chaos
Same cut not the same cloth uh
Talking up to God a lot, on my knees I’m in the mosque
Taking Jan van Riebeek to the barbershop and cutting off his whole mustache
You was worried about the waves, I was worried about the slaves
Now you standing there amazed
Go tell the mense what’s my name
[Chorus]
It’s the Cape crusader
Young Van Riebeek
I put it down like
Young Van Riebeek
What the name is
Young Van Riebeek
Kaapstad did it
Young Van Riebeek
Young Van Riebeek
Young Young Van Riebeek
Young Young Van Riebeek
Young Young Van Riebeek
Uh
It’s the cape crusader
Young Van Riebeek

[Verse 2]
A lot of mense is hating that’s not stopping me
This was the same thing that they did in the cape colony
Making us think we living free in a broken democracy
But the truth will set us free, you’ll read it in my biography
When they brought us on the slave ships
And they took away our education
Looking for a oasis
Coz they turn our people into vagrants
You can’t win with the racists coz they still think with that hatred
But victory is my fragrance so I’m emphasizing my statements
We was locked up in the ghetto, far away from the meadows
No Shakespeare no Othello, what you hearing is a demo
Had to scream until it echo, from Khayelitsha to Soweto
Call me Stefano Dimera
You was shocked I turned into a pharaoh
But they got us in a system
Our history was rewritten by the Europeans and Britain
We all share the same symptoms
But you can never ever hide the scars
Take a look at how far behind we are
Now come meet the man behind the bars, his initials are YVR
[Chorus]
It’s the Cape crusader
Young Van Riebeek
I put it down like
Young Van Riebeek
What the name is
Young Van Riebeek
Kaapstad did it
Young Van Riebeek
Young Van Riebeek
Young Young Van Riebeek
Young Young Van Riebeek
Young Young Van Riebeek
Uh
It’s the cape crusader
Young Van Riebeek
I put it down like
Young Van Riebeek
