Township Rebellion
rebel, rebel, and yell
'cause our people still dwell in hell
locked in a cell
yes, the structure's a cell
mad is the story i tell
how long can we wait
come on, seein what's at stake
action for reaction, if your mind's in a somewhat
complacent state
get check up
this is a stick up
our freedom or your life, i wish i could be peaceful
but there can be no sequel
Chorus:
now freedom must be fundamental
in
johannesburg or south central
on the mic, cause someone should tell 'em
to kick in the township rebellion
yea, so you thought you could get with the hardlines
that fill your mind
the thoughts, battles fought, and lessons taught
and i'll display the fitness
and flip like a gymnast
raise my fist and resist
asleep, though we stand in the midst of the war
gotta get mine, gotta get more
keepin the mic warm against the norm
'cause what does it offer me
i think often its nothin but a coffin
gotta get wreck
'till our necks never swing on a rope
from here to the cape of no hope
Chorus
why stand on a platform
fight the war, fuk the norm
