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?
 C'mon, 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 peaceful
 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 sucka?
 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 the 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 'til 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
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 ♪
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 ♪
 What's it gonna take?
 ♪
 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
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
 Why stand on a silent platform?
 Fight the war, fuck the norm
