[verse 1]
yo… lemme talk to them… check it…
sometimes i wonder if the struggle was worth it
our people stil waiting for service/
they need water, electricity, leaders of authenticity
they’ve struggled so long they deserve it/
three hours on a taxi to work/
just to arrive and be treated like dirt?
this whole township’s a prison
we’re down, we’re stuck in the system
we’re working hard but never see the dessert
[chorus]
[verse 2]
our juxtaposition it seems
is we’re between biko’s dream and hollywood screens
and though political freedom was a lifeline/
the distance between alex and sandton is still a lifetime/
the crime rate raises my heart rate/
the inequality’s enough to make your heart break
the disillusionment, the poverty and heartache
got me thinking whether we defeated apartheid/
[speech]
“no political democracy can survive and flourish if the m-ss of our people remain in poverty, without land, without tangible prospects for a better life. attacking poverty and deprivation must therefore be the first priority of a democratic government.” – nelson mandela, 1997
