[Verse 1: Logic]
Listen! Yeah
Cuz I was born a year after Bob Marley died
Mandela ran the Apartheid I grew with
Milly Jackson & Earth, Wind and Fire
And my heart is a strength of 10 lions I know Zion
I overstand the pyramids and they hid 'em from us
The Westerners they came in and saw they had to rob it
See I'm an Activist
From the Irish Blood in my veins to the black melanin in my fist
I salute African tribes who are armed by the enemy
Now they go and shoot at the enemy
I got more than just a point to prove
And like Rosa Parks tell your bus I won't move!
I dont overestimate what I might be
And I know theres people in power that don't like me!
I hear people claim that their a big activist
But they really dont know what active is!
[Hook: Big Frizzle]
I am an activist
My colours black my shade is light
I'm backing this
I am an activist
An activist
My colours black my shade is light
I'm backing this
I am an activist
[Verse 2: Birdie Roth]
These people, they think they know me
Just don't know how I feel, I'm from the streets
Just so discreet. Do as I please and I will hear
My Pain, see my strain, my tears bleed on this track
My agenda's bigger than you think
My life ain't all about rap
I ain't a rapper, I'm an activist, only realised
When we sat down, no more chat in this, I don't care
If I don't get signed. There's a war going on you better
Pick A side. My people's an army and we Pray Days Change, they
Call us gang's, we're just fam simple and plain
I don't Tinchy Stryd I take big steps, you can't tell me
Nuttin' I'm an activist
[Hook:]
[Verse 3: Jaja Soze]
Yes, I'm a veteran, young black militant
Got black mums proud like 'J your briliant'
Aim for stars, yes the world's ours, setting fire
NF and BNP bars. I speak the truth, represent the youth
Forget a pop song, I'm the fire in the booth, I'm a freedom
Fighter for the truth, grab the mic one time and tear down the
Roof. While you lubber over celebrity big brother, me I
Pray salat like word to the mother. Martin Luther, I'm like
Him with a shooter. The more we educate the more powerful the
Future. We don't need stress, just progress, even though it's
Corrupt, In the old west, we can still work hard getting no
Rest. I'm in the house of parliament in a bullet vest
[Hook:]
