TOWNSHIP REVELLION

REBEL, REBEL AND YELL
LOCKED IN A CELL
YES, THE STRUCTURE'S A CELL
MAD IS THE STORY I TELL
HOW LONG CAN WE WAIT
COME ON, 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
OUT FREEDOM OF YOUR LIFE
I WISH I COULD BE PEACEFUL
BUT THERE CAN BE NO SEQUEL

CHORUS:
NOW FREEDOM MUST BE FUNDAMENTAL
IN JOHANNESBURG SO SOUTH CENTRAL
ON THE MIC, 'CAUSE SOMEONE SHOULD
 TELL 'EM
TO KICK IN THE TOWNSHIP REBELLION

YES, SO YOU THOUGHT YA COULD GET
 WITH THE HARDLINES
THAT FILL YOUR MIND
THE THOUGHTS, BATTLES FOUGHT
AND LESSONS TAUGHT
AND 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 MINE
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 OUT NECKS NEVER SWING ON A ROPE
FROM HERE TO THE CAPE OF NO HOPE

CHORUS

WHY STAND
ON A SILENT PLATFORM
FIGHT THE WAR
FUCK THE NORM
