Lyrics Apartheid - Macka B

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
