[ Afrika Bambaataa ]
Why do you (you) (you) (you)
come to di land (di land) (di land)
Zulu (Zulu) (Zulu) (Zulu) (Zulu) (Zulu)
[ Brother Jay ]
Brother Jay speaks, silly mortals take heed
Protected by the red, black, green with a key
Slaves from the Motherland, boy, what a drag
Especially when royalty`s chained by a caveman
A vanglorious way by the colors
Free South Africa and free our Mother
[ Professor X ]
Mandela, protected by the red, the black and the green
With a key
Sissyyyyyyyy-ah
[ Afrika Baby Bam of Jungle Brothers ]
Yeah
Ah-ha
Yeah
I give it to brothers in the north, south, west and east
Grandfather Bambaataa said I could speak my piece
Grab a few bars and what I say is that
Crush that African Apartheid bullcrap
Poppa had this before you
I got my rifle to your dome, now what you wanna do?
[ Mike G of Jungle Brothers ]
Think about a brother never havin a say so
When they say come you come, when they say go you go
Eat what you`re given and not what you wanted
Limitations on your livin and you still gettin taunted
If the Father of Creation was to come at you down
You`d find a very pleasant home six feet under the ground
Poppa was here before you
I got my rifle to your head, now what you gonna do?
(Alright)
(Alright)
(Alright)
[ Lakim Shabazz ]
We`re black by popular demand, let`s take a stand
Break the Klan and join hands
We got to struggle and fight for what`s right
Cause this government got a got grip and they hold it tight
I know your grip will slip, that`s if we strive for perfection
In the right direction
Freedom, justice and equality
For you and me, it`s plain to see
What we need is black unity
[ Rahiem ]
South Africa, I wanna free from the racist
Prejudiced based on colors of faces
Bones are broken cause wise words are spoken
Blacks bein held down forever, what are you smokin?
I`m gettin wise, I`m risin, self-enterprisin
Teachin the truth to help open the eyes and
Stop apartheid on the far side
Let`s get together and watch us all rise
[ Master Rob of Ultimate Force ]
The plan was a scam and those who concocted the plan
Rose up and took over the Motherland
Since it`s bloodshed and violence
And those who dare speak out like Mandela were silenced
But it takes but a spark
In the heart and the soul for a man to embark
On his quest for freedom
And if they stand as one, then no one can beat em
Always told when to live or die
But as our babies cry we say down with apartheid
Master Rob and Diamond D
We`ll keep on fightin till South Africa`s free
(We need it)
Ndodemnyama Mr. Botha
Ndodemnyama South Africa
[ ? Melle Mel ? ]
A demonstration is needed to explain my position, so listen, comprehend
Then send your mind to a lower level of a devil`s den
My shrine, comparison is it capable of a parallel
Solar systems exist because I dwell
Black on black is the scheme of a devil
Then you turn right around and shoot a brother with the devil`s metal
Ndodemnyama Mr. Botha
Ndodemnyama South Africa
