City of Walls |
| Uh… yeah |
| You lock me out, and lock yourself in |
| Tall walls, guard dogs, and barb-wire fence |
| We divided, from within |
| Apartheid still a part of how we live, money |
| Fuck you up like hard drugs |
| Can’t get help from the government |
| They strung out too, what to do |
| Corrupt as fuck, it’s nothing new |
| Born that way, you stay low |
| Live the next life, and get paid more |
| Cash system, cash pimpin' |
| Even God’s on the payroll |
| Pay more, while you stay stuck |
| While the politician’s ain’t rich enough |
| Police man is broke too |
| Now wonder why we in handcuffs |
| Rich man, poor man |
| Same city we live in |
| Skin color’s where it started at |
| Castle walls is where it is |
| This life is hard, this world is cold |
| So bundle up, welcome to city of walls |
| Walls |
| Walls |
| Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls |
| The city of walls |
| The city of walls |
| Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls |
| You lock me out, you lock yourself in |
| Tall walls, guard dogs and barb-wire fence |
| The streets are thin, the kids don’t play |
| This is the price you pay, growing up with barricades |
| True story, no glory, ghetto port from the Township |
| Same block Mandela lived |
| Same block Steve Biko lived |
| 32, the first of three kids |
| Living with his Mom and step-dad |
| And he the bread winner for all of them |
| Shitty job, chump change |
| Just enough to not go insane |
| No more art, when you’re numbed in pain |
| You never know the name of the next Cobain |
| Meanwhile, they livin' large |
| In Cape Town on the boulevard |
| Expensive art, fancy cars |
| Don’t get robbed when you valet park |
| They throw their keys, with bloody paws |
| From on top their buildings, behind those walls |
| Walls |
| Walls |
| Walls |
| Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls |
| The city of walls |
| The city of walls |
| Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls |
| You lock me out, you lock yourself in |
| Tall walls, guard dogs and barb-wire fence |
| The streets are thin, the kids don’t play |
| This is the price you pay, growing up with barricades |
| Walls |
| Walls |
| Bundle up, yup, welcome to City of Walls |
| The city of walls |
| The city of walls |
| Bundle up, yup, welcome to City of Walls |
