| As a matter of interest, yes we have been conditioned
|
| Naming us Coloured was already incorrect to begin with
|
| Before the struggle, the boesman and the black tribes were allies
|
| We fought against the bad guys
|
| Then we got our hands tied
|
| They bought firearms and that’s how they became the master
|
| They plot and started to conjure so they could divide and conquer
|
| And that’s why we hardcore
|
| And hate our brothers a lot more
|
| But we fighting the wrong war
