Apartheid |
| Election time in South Africa |
| But Black people cyaan vote |
| What kind of election is that? |
| Apartheid is one nasty joke |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| System in South Africa |
| Named apartheid |
| Where your basic human rights |
| Are denied |
| Black people and white people |
| Dem divide |
| Some a' di tings which a-gwaan |
| Words couldn’t describe |
| Them will lock a man a prison |
| If he Black Pride |
| In a dutty prison cell |
| people died |
| A lot a inna prison |
| without being tried |
| Then we kill a man in prison |
| And den say a suicide |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| And all the best land |
| Is white occupied |
| All the Blacks who used to live down there |
| Have been cast aside |
| In the barrenest place |
| Is where them has to reside |
| Where nothin' can grow |
| And all the rivers have dried |
| Then we split up the families |
| A far and wide |
| Separate a bridegroom |
| From him new bride |
| 'Cause he’s got to go to work |
| As a way |
| come back every night |
| He can’t afford the bus ride |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Leader a' di movement |
| Him a-gwaan like white is |
| Superior |
| Take away wi gold |
| Take away wi silver |
| And gwaan like dem |
| Doin' us a favour |
| Who gi' dem di right |
| Who gi' dem di order |
| Fi come 'a people country |
| And make people suffer? |
| There even are some churches |
| Which we cannot enter |
| But dey nah praise God |
| Dem a-praise Lucifer |
| Just imagine if the Black man |
| the power |
| white people suffer |
| Would be full of anger |
| And also his deputy |
| Maggie Thatcher |
| Dem would a |
| So mi seh |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| Apartheid |
| Must be destroyed |
| In a world that’s supposed to be so civilised |
| How come we allow a ting like apartheid? |
| People in the West, get off your backside |
| 'Cause the time has come, we haffi turn that tide |
