[male
vocals] (
Ayy,
yoh)
They
said
I
was
nothing,
you
see?
Just
a
man
without
paper,
just
a
man
without
a
degree
But
watch
how
the
story
turns,
watch
how
the
tide
flows (
Yoh,
listen)
I
remember
the
day
you
looked
into
my
eyes
Said
I
wasn't
qualified,
painted
me
with
your
lies
You
said
no
paper,
no
marriage,
no
chance
for
the
throne
Left
me
in
the
valley,
left
me
all
alone
I
felt
the
sting,
yeah,
the
weight
of
the
rejection
But
that
pain
became
my
only
true
connection
To
the
power
inside,
to
the
man
I
had
to
be
I
didn't
need
your
approval
to
set
my
spirit
free
I
am
the
forbidden
stone
that
the
builder
refused
Rising
from
the
ashes
while
you
watched
me
get
used
To
the
grind,
to
the
hustle,
to
the
vision
in
my
head
Now
I'm
making
sense
of
everything
you
ever
said
I
am
the
forbidden
stone,
I'm
standing
on
my
own
Yeah,
I'm
the
forbidden
stone (
Mwaiseni,
I'm
taking
my
throne)
Two
years
down
the
line,
look
at
how
the
life
shapes
up
I
was
pouring
my
soul,
yeah,
filling
up
my
cup
While
you
doubted
the
path,
I
was
mastering
the
soul
I
took
the
broken
pieces
and
I
made
them
look
whole
Now
the
people
who
laughed,
they're
looking
for
a
seat
But
I'm
miles
away,
moving
with
the
rhythm
of
the
beat
It’
s
not
about
the
school,
it’
s
about
the
fire
in
the
chest
I
put
my
mind
to
work
and
I
put
it
to
the
test
I
am
the
forbidden
stone
that
the
builder
refused
Rising
from
the
ashes
while
you
watched
me
get
used
To
the
grind,
to
the
hustle,
to
the
vision
in
my
head
Now
I'm
making
sense
of
everything
you
ever
said
I
am
the
forbidden
stone,
I'm
standing
on
my
own (
Wisula
umuntu,
wisula
umuntu)
Never
underestimate
a
man
who's
still
breathing
Never
count
him
out
when
the
world
is
stop
believing
I
found
who
I
am,
it’
s
worth
more
than
your
degree
I
am
the
king
of
my
fate,
I
am
the
key
Yeah,
I'm
the
forbidden
stone (
Ayy,
yoh)
Don't
sleep
on
the
man
you
thought
was
small
Watch
me
rise,
watch
me
stand
tall
Natotela
for
the
lesson,
but
I'm
gone
now (
Forbidden
stone,
yeah)
