"Political Raps"

Original Submission by Wicket PowerPlay

“Political Raps”

The mind of a martyr

Holding the spear of a nation

Umkhonto We Sizwe

I Cadre for the MK

Like the spirit of Anton Fransch

Armed with nothing but a Pistol and a AK

Now watch me lay waste

At a murderous pace

They never heard of this ace

The Revolutionary card has been placed

Fidel Castro said it best

The hardest part of the revolution is defending what was gained from it

Namibia’s political system is straight up trash

Defined as nothing but a corrupt topic

Bribes off of the country’s resources

Is what these so-called leaders pocket

Hatred and animosity towards SWAPO is what true Namibians are feeling often

So believe me when I tell you this

These bars will be the final nail in their coffin.

South West Africa People’s Organization

I highly doubt that

More like

Sewage Waste Aspiring to be the People’s Opposition

The biggest mistake we made

Was confusing the comrade with the politician

You have no right raising that clenched fist

That is the symbol of the revolution

Preserved solely for the betterment

Of the peoples evolution.

Ya’ll aint nothing but a bunch of greedy narcissists

With no value for what human life is

And im definitely gonna horoscope on something fishy like pieces

Ya’ll are in deep crisis

Your ideologies are worse than ISIS

We all know how Sacky the plans were that they were plotting

Mr. President acted like his fat nose couldn’t smell the fish rotting

Head of state, just stop it

You’re a puppet

I can see the jerk in your neck

From how much SWAPO’s greedy dick

Has your throat cocking

I’ll peel your top like a can of pilchards

And rip off that totalitarian crown that you’re rocking

And expose your fish-like tendencies

From all the mtangka throbbing

You know how the pink in pussy looks like pilchards

It’s about his brain matter, that I’m talking

He sucks Wambo dick often

Mayonnaise is his favourite topping

This that raw political activism

You call yourself a comrade

But you lack Pan-Africanism

Go read up on Thomas Sankarra

Study Chris Hani

Your Political Self-Enrichment ploys

Has colonialistic Characteristics like a lanie’s

You sell your own people out with ease

So this is what I’ve learned from the Chinese

Is that Africa, is where the greatest resource is

So I’ve derived a new name for our brethren from the east

I now call the African Chinese

The neo-colonialese

Cause what happens is this

Land is signed to foreign trustees

For a certain amount of Coca-Cola fees

Paid directly paid directly into the bank account certain government employees

So SWAPO can suck on these

Cause just like EFF and LPM

I no longer have piece.
