about

The Road that lies ahead.

lyrics

L'Mental:

A man fell from the sky

did he die? I don’t know I didn’t see him

He’s writing words on paper lyrics for a song

but he doesn’t know, that these words still live on

a black hat, a black beard, a black pen

writing words on the pages of this book x 2


He’s wiring lyrics writing word to a song

but he doesn’t know that his words still live on:

Its ridiculous fruitless all the other things

cause theres misused insights everywhere x

experiment with life I mean what else can you do?

stay stuck in this grind that you find yourself in?

its bordem not to try to

Anu:

Remebmber back then, Back when?

Back when Blackmen werent fashioned

as trash bins

Back when we were battlin to fathom what happenend

Back when it was taxining having this black skin

Back when travelling for black men was tragic and maddening

Back when africa wasnt a bastion for bad things or back when

Back when lonmins barons werent extracting our platinum

Back when id imagine rapping wasnt a distraction

I mean how could i forget, its as if it was izolo all of this happened

Back then we had sense of planning actions


Folakha

Ke utlwa ke tswokotseha ke thothomela
'Mele ofufulelwa o inamolela
Tsela dihlahlathela dinqamathela
Ke utlwa ke bupetsana ke tetebela

Lesedi laka le mpontshe tsela
Pelo yaka eya nqoqela ere
Moya waka o nyworwetswe difela
O re o batla hobona ntho dietsheha

Ditsela dibuleha dihlekeha
Bophelo boatleha borateha
Ntwa difokotseha re rapela
Kgotso ekganya ehlakile tsela

about

Nobody for President image

Nobody for President Cape Town, South Africa

A chance meeting of similar minds resulted in the genesis of Nobody for President. Distinctly peri-urban sounds that reflect contemporary hope frustration joy and disappointments. Easy delivery over chilled beats the energetic Folakah, controlled Anu and melodic L'Mental strike easily digestible dose of conscious rap positive, challenging lyrics wrapped in a bun of funky feel good sounds. ... more
