Uncover a Soundtrack

These footsteps are a dotted line A pulsating heartbeat on a timeline Your curiosity fills in the blank spots Guessing which stereotype‘s my blind spot You can plot a healthy graph from my bounce I own the future today ‘cos, “you only live once” I believe in the streets, live on the beat I was born ready so bring on the heat My words are like sirens and teargas They water eyes and numb earshot targets The lovechild of Botha and Madiba in a steamer My forefathers were visionaries so I’m just a dreamer A polarized blend of explosive flavours When love meets hate, call it jungle fever Conscientised to awaken from this oppressive Matrix As the sands of time cover my tracks, I uncover a soundtrack
