Township Rebellion Lyrics

Township Rebellion lyrics

Rebel, rebel and yell
'Cause our people still dwell in hell
Locked in a
cell
Yes, the structure's a cell
Mad is the story I tell
How long can
we wait?
Come on, seein' what's at stake
Action for reaction
If your
mind's in a somewhat complacent state
Get a check up
This is a stick
up
Our freedom or your life
Lord, I wish I could be peacful
But there
can be no sequel
Now freedom must be fundamental
In Johannesburg or South
Central
On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em
To kick in the township
rebellion

Yeah, what about that, sucker?

Yeah, so you thought you
could get with the hardlines
That fill your mind
Thoughts, battles
fought
And lessons taught
Yes I'll display the fitness
And flip like a
gymnast
Raise my fist and resist
Asleep, though we stand in the
midst
Of a war
Gotta get mine
Gotta get more
Keepin' the mic warm
against the norm
'Cause what does it offer me?
I think often it's nothin'
but a coffin

Gotta get wreck
Till our necks never swing on a
rope
From here to the cape of no hope

Now freedom must be
fundamental
In Johannesburg or South Central
On the mic, 'cause someone
should tell 'em
To kick in the township rebellion

Why stand on a
silent platform?

Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the
norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm

Why
stand on a silent platform?
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war,
fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the
norm
What's it gonna take?
Euuurrrggghhhhh!

Shackle their minds
when they're bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is
lost
Shackle their minds when they're left on the cross
When ignorance
reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when we're bent on the cross
When
ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when we're left on the
cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost!
Shackle your minds
and you're left on the cross!
When ignorance reigns, life is lost!
Just
shackle your minds when you're bent on the cross!
When ignorance reigns,
life is lost, lost!

Why stand on a silent platform?
Fight the war,
fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the
norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
