| 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
|
