Lyrics
0:04Rebel rebel and yell
0:06Cause our people still dwell in hell
0:07Locked in a cell
0:09Yes the structures a cell
0:10Mad is the story I tell
0:11How long can we wait
0:12Come on seein what's at stake
0:14Action for reaction
0:15If your minds in a somewhat complacent state
0:18Get a check up
0:20This is a stick up
0:21Our freedom or your life
0:22Lord I wish I could be peacful
0:24But there can be no sequel
0:25Now freedom must be fundamental
0:26In johannesburg or south central
0:29On the mic cause someone should tell em
0:31To kick in the township rebellion
0:34Yeah what about that sucker
0:39Yeah so you thought you could get with the hardlines
1:05That fill your mind
1:07Thoughts battles fought
1:08And lessons taught
1:09Yes Ill display the fitness
1:10And flip like a gymnast
1:12Raise my fist and resist
1:14Asleep though we stand in the midst
1:15Of the war
1:16Gotta get mine
1:17Gotta get more
1:18Keepin the mic warm against the norm
1:19Cause what does it offer me
1:21I think often its nothin but a coffin
1:23Gotta get wreck
1:23Till our necks never swing on a rope
1:25From here to the cape of no hope
1:27Now freedom must be fundamental
1:29In johannesburg or south central
1:30On the mic cause someone should tell em
1:33To kick in the township rebellion
1:34Why stand on a silent platform
1:37Fight the war f**k the norm
1:41Why stand on a silent platform
1:44Fight the war f**k the norm
1:48Why stand on a silent platform
1:51Fight the war f**k the norm
1:54Why stand on a silent platform
1:58Fight the war f**k the norm
2:24Why stand on a silent platform

3:13Shackle their minds when theyre bent on the cross
3:45When ignorance reigns life is lost
3:53Shackle their minds when theyre left on the cross
