[Hook 1]
The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows they propel it
Let these words be your earth and
moon you consume every message
As I lead this army make room for mistakes
and depression
And with that being said my nigga
let me ask this question

[Bridge 1]
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When shit hit the fan (one two, one two)
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

[Hook 1]
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
Want you look to your left and right
make sure you ask you friends
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

[Bridge 2]
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
Want you look to your left and right
make sure you ask your friends
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

[Verse 1]
Do you believe in me? Are you deceiving me?
Could I let you down easily
is your heart where it need to be?
Is your smile on permanent? Is your vow on lifetime?
Would you know where the sermon
is if I died in this next line?
If I? m tried in a court of law, if the industry cut me off
If the government want me dead, plant cocaine in my car
Would you judge me a drug kid or see me as K. Lamar
Or question my character and degrade me on every blog
Want you to love me like Nelson
want you to hug me like Nelson
I freed you from being a slave in your mind
you? re very welcome
You tell me my song is more than a song
it? s surely a blessing
But a prophet ain? t a prophet til they ask you this question

[Bridge 3]
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
Want you look to your left and right
make sure you ask you friends
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

[Hook 2]
The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows they propel it
Let these words be your earth and moon you
consume every message
As I lead this army make room
for mistakes and depression
And if you riding with me

[Verse 2]
Do you believe in me? How much you believe in her?
You think she gon? stick around if them 25 years occur?
You think he can hold you down
when you down behind bars hurt?
You think y? all on common ground
if you promise to be the first?
Can you be immortalised without your life being expired?
Even though you share the same blood is it worth the time?
Like who got your best interest?
Like how much are you dependent?
How clutch are the people that say
they love you and who pretending?
How tough is your skin when they turn you in
do you show forgiveness?
What brush do you bend when dusting your shoulders
from being offended
What kind of den did they put you
in when the lions start hissing
What kind of bridge did they burn
revenge or your mind when it? s mentioned?
You wanna love like Nelson, you wanna be like Nelson
You wanna walk in in his shoes but you
peace-making seldom
You wanna be remembered that delivered the message
That considered the blessing of everyone
this your lesson for everyone, say

[Bridge 3]
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
Want you look to your left and right
make sure you ask you friends
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

[Hook 2]
The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows they propel it
Let these words be your earth and moon you
consume every message
As I lead this army make room
for mistakes and depression
And if you riding with me

[Verse 3]
I been wrote off before, I got abandonment issues
I hold grudges like bad judges, don? t let me resent you
That? s not Nelson-like, want you to love me like Nelson
I went to Robben? s Island analysing
that? s where his cell is
So I could find clarity, like how much you cherish me
Is this relationship a fake or real as the heavens be?
See I got to question it all, family, friends, fans, cats, dogs
Trees, plants, grass, how the wind blow
Murphy? s Law, generation X, will I ever be your ex?
Floss off a baby step, mobbed by the mouth a bit
Pause, put me under stress
Crawled under rocks, ducking y? all, it? s respect
But then tomorrow, put my back against the wall
How many leaders you said
you needed then left? em for dead?
Is it Moses, is it Huey Newton or Detroit Red?
Is it Martin Luther, Jfk, shooter you assassin
Is it Jackie, is it Jesse, oh I know, it? s Michael Jackson, oh

[Bridge 4]
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?
That nigga gave us Billie Jean, you say
he touched those kids?
When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

[Hook 3]
The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows they propel it
Let my word be your earth and moon you
consume every message
As I lead this army make room
for mistakes and depression
And if you riding with me nigga
let me ask this question nigga
