Rebel, rebel and yell
and'cause our people still dwell in hell
locked in a cell
yes, the structureand's a cell
mad is the story i tell
how long can we wait?
come on, seeinand' whatand's at stake
action for reaction
if your mindand'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, and'cause someone should tell and'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 iand'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
keepinand' the mic warm against the norm
and'cause what does it offer me?
i think often itand's nothinand' 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, and'cause someone should tell and'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
whatand's it gonna take?
euuurrrggghhhhh!
Shackle their minds when theyand're bent on the cross
when ignorance reigns, life is lost
shackle their minds when theyand're left on the cross
when ignorance reigns, life is lost
shackled our minds when weand're bent on the cross
when ignorance reigns, life is lost
shackled our minds when weand're left on the cross
when ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost!
shackle your minds and youand're left on the cross!
when ignorance reigns, life is lost!
just shackle your minds when youand'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
