Some a' di tings which a-gwaan

If he [?] Black Pride
In a dutty prison cell

Then we kill a man in prison
And den say a suicide

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
And all the best land
Is white occupied
All the Blacks who used to live down there
Have been cast aside

In the barrenest place
Is where them has to reside
Where nothin' can grow
And all the rivers have dried

Then we split up the families
A far and wide
Separate a bridegroom
From him new bride

'Cause he's got to go to work
As a way [?]

He can't afford the bus ride

[Chorus]

And gwaan like dem
Doin' us a favour

Who gi' dem di right

Fi come 'a people country
And make people suffer?

There even are some churches
Which we cannot enter
But dey nah praise God

In a world that's supposed to be so civilised
How come we allow a ting like apartheid?
People in the West, get off your backside
'Cause the time has come, we haffi turn that tide
