Going Gorilla Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We grew up on Biko when leaders in prison on islands
Now we visit the beach and my people are treated like primates
Trying to dribble the challenge
My cousin not kicking the habit
Our daily fixture with mixture this is poverty and violence
They flag our dreams and wishes killed by the linesman
They gate-keepers at the widest and they stay sniffin' the lines, man
Our team full of strikers marching and I'm sick of the riots

My people divided, we evils providing, get rich or die trying
We grew up on America, Snoop Dogg and Mashamplani
Tebza [?] pushing the door ka nkane
Can't tell us about the rules, 'cause we don't comply
I'm offending you when I'm next to you
I'm so rude and you won't know why

[Verse 2]
We rob, we steal, we kill, we build, destroy
Rebuild, keep calling me a pikanini, just leave the soil
We in 'cause I wan't the land
I need a house and the land
Penny Sparrow needs to fuck off to France
For being Sarkozy when we rant
My grand mama hated white people, not for no reason
Some day she call them devilish evil, Sunday she calling them Jesus

She put the picture of Christ next to the ones of kids that survived
Death and asylum as she said goodbye
Left us a struggle, but we kept it alive
We fuck, we drink, we piss, we trying to get a leg up
We smart, we scheme, but these motherfuckers won't let up
Not your victim, I'm free as long as I got this Beretta
Right off the top, I'm a treasurer, not for the fuck [?]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The first song on Stogie T’s first album under his current moniker. According to Stogie, this was the very first beat Tru Hitz and Cokayn Beatz sent him, and he decided they would produce all his work.

The song essentially describes the state of black people in South Africa. It’s hard, but we are trying all we can to get dough.
