"Fire In The Ghetto" lyrics
(feat. Troublle)
Thatha iCover, there's a fire in the ghetto
Lokshin culture, mzabalazo, still the same song
Bulawayo, Katlehong, down to Soweto
Every ghetto, Dankie Yebo
Thatha iCover, there's a fire in the ghetto
Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona
Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong
That's the ghetto, dankie yebo
Power to the people
Emakasi, yeah fire up the diesel
Abasazi we gon' triumph over evil
S'hamba phansi, stabalaza impilo
Ya namanje, Sizele nje le Tito
Ngamasaka, sistabilize isimo
Ne account ibenje ngalabo zero
Nesalukwazi siveze naso izinyo... nakanjani
No way, angeke ulunge feleba
Ngisekhoneni, ngishera iLoose namagenge
Coconut, musa ukung'namathela
Khohlwa dali, lobhuti akathengwa... nangempela
Yini awuboni la kuyasha?
Uzobhadala what you owe namhlanje
Road block, ubhaya ikholi namhlanje
And angifuni kuzwa story namhlanje, Ekse!
Empower my people, my father, my leader
My mother, my teacher, my brother, my keeper
My sister, my healer, my sarafina
Baba wami, my leader, empower my dreamers
Thatha iCover, there's a fire in the ghetto
Lokshin culture, mzabalazo, still the same song
Bulawayo, Katlehong, down to Soweto
Every ghetto, Dankie Yebo
Thatha iCover, there's a fire in the ghetto
Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona
Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong
That's the ghetto, dankie yebo
Sizwile ama wave, k'nini niloku niswima kulemali yethu
Tax man, thola iscima kushe ugebhu
Eskom biza mina kubuye ugesi
Sifuna ukujabula Jabula sibe happy, yeah
But every other day we puffing that envy
Skhala nje umalume akas'bheki
And everybody cares til it stops trending
And that's why kungalaleki, yilama nightmares and uFreddy akadeli
Vele siyahlanya and asibambeki, you selling us dreams kodwa awethu aniwathengi
All I really want is true freedom, ng'phushe ng'phande, ngidle nginone
K'dala ngiloku ngincenga iSchool fees dawg, ngifunde ng'zame, ng'phushe ng'pope
Empower my people, my father, my leader
My mother, my teacher, my brother, my keeper
My sister, my healer, my sarafina
Baba wami, my leader, empower my dreamers
Thatha iCover, there's a fire in the ghetto
Lokshin culture, mzabalazo, still the same song
Bulawayo, Katlehong, down to Soweto
Every ghetto, Dankie Yebo
Thatha iCover, there's a fire in the ghetto
Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona
Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong
That's the ghetto, dankie yebo...
Lokshin culture, mzabalazo, still the same song
Bulawayo, Katlehong, down to Soweto
Every ghetto, Dankie Yebo
Thatha iCover, there's a fire in the ghetto
Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona
Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong
That's the ghetto, dankie yebo
