[Afrika Bambaataa]

Why do you (you) (you) (you)

come to di land (di land) (di land)

Zulu (Zulu) (Zulu) (Zulu) (Zulu) (Zulu)



[Brother Jay]

Brother Jay speaks, silly mortals take heed

Protected by the red, black, green with a key

Slaves from the Motherland, boy, what a drag

Especially when royalty's chained by a caveman

A vanglorious way by the colors

Free South Africa and free our Mother



[Professor X]

Mandela, protected by the red, the black and the green

With a key

Sissyyyyyyyy-ah



[Afrika Baby Bam of Jungle Brothers]

Yeah

Ah-ha

Yeah

I give it to brothers in the north, south, west and east

Grandfather Bambaataa said I could speak my piece

Grab a few bars and what I say is that

Crush that African Apartheid bullcrap

Poppa had this before you

I got my rifle to your dome, now what you wanna do?



[Mike G of Jungle Brothers]

Think about a brother never havin a say so

When they say come you come, when they say go you go

Eat what you're given and not what you wanted

Limitations on your livin and you still gettin taunted

If the Father of Creation was to come at you down

You'd find a very pleasant home six feet under the ground

Poppa was here before you

I got my rifle to your head, now what you gonna do?



(Alright)

(Alright)

(Alright)



[Lakim Shabazz]

We're black by popular demand, let's take a stand

Break the Klan and join hands

We got to struggle and fight for what's right

Cause this government got a got grip and they hold it tight

I know your grip will slip, that's if we strive for perfection

In the right direction

Freedom, justice and equality

For you and me, it's plain to see

What we need is black unity



[Rahiem]

South Africa, I wanna free from the racist

Prejudiced based on colors of faces

Bones are broken cause wise words are spoken

Blacks bein held down forever, what are you smokin?

I'm gettin wise, I'm risin, self-enterprisin

Teachin the truth to help open the eyes and

Stop apartheid on the far side

Let's get together and watch us all rise



[Master Rob of Ultimate Force]

The plan was a scam and those who concocted the plan

Rose up and took over the Motherland

Since it's bloodshed and violence

And those who dare speak out like Mandela were silenced

But it takes but a spark

In the heart and the soul for a man to embark

On his quest for freedom

And if they stand as one, then no one can beat em

Always told when to live or die

But as our babies cry we say down with apartheid

Master Rob and Diamond D

We'll keep on fightin till South Africa's free



(We need it)



Ndodemnyama Mr. Botha

Ndodemnyama South Africa



[? Melle Mel ?]

A demonstration is needed to explain my position, so listen, comprehend

Then send your mind to a lower level of a devil's den

My shrine, comparison is it capable of a parallel

Solar systems exist because I dwell

Black on black is the scheme of a devil

Then you turn right around and shoot a brother with the devil's metal



Ndodemnyama Mr. Botha

Ndodemnyama South Africa



[UTFO]

Dr. Martin Luther King died for the people

Because society wouldn't treat us equal

Racism existed, it dawn on ya?

How would you feel if your home was taken away from ya?

Murdered, beaten, hung, that's a sin

That's in the past - my man, it's still happenin

The three of us, psst, we ain't chokin

UTFO have spoken



[Kings Of Swing]

Stand up, put your hand up, help a brother

Wave the peace sign, yo, word to the mother

We are the Kings Of Swing rock shockin the rhyme

Yo, to help free the black man in all mankind

I'm glad to get together because the move is strong

To free South Africa in a hip-hop song

You need freedom and justice to correct your sin

Yo Mike, what's the true colors? Red, black and green



[????]

Treat people like people and animals like animals

You eatin people's freedom, you worse than cannibals

There's something I think you should know

Fuck you and let my people go

You don't like us? So what, we don't like you

They say we're racist, ah-ah, it's not true

Look in the mirror, can you see the light?

I know you could cause your ass is white



[Queen Latifah]

Praise me not as a queen of a queendom

Who took a few slaves for they were weak and I seen them

I'm an advocate of positivity

I wrote this rhyme to show the blind creativity

We demand our freedom, you promise ifs, ands or maybes

Cut us no slack and still kill our babies

The time to tolerate apartheid is over and done

So watch the world say the black man won



[Kool Keith of Ultra Magnetic MC's]

I'm back to smack, attack, ( ? ) the black

African - the culture's back again

Muhammad Elijah, the rhythm is nicer

On a power tip, want freedom of speech, to teach and reach

And put a hand out

So the black man, he can stand out

Over the top, the weak, the wack, the devil is negative

But you gotta think positive

About the black signs, the red, black and the green

You better think about it



[? Ced Gee of Ultra Magnetic MC's ?]

A-f-r-i-c-a and for today

I'm black and proud, here to say

That we're laying the law down, the rhythm is righteous

Without King and X we might just

Lose the eagerness, our spirit to gain power

For all kings and queens, time to devour

The devil's soul, there's no time to even burn

As we learn and turn, Mandela had to earn

And gain respect, for apartheid comin correct

To help us all free South Africa

Free South Africa 



[Arthur X]

Well, I'm Arthur X from the Nation of Islam

Preparin to drop another big bomb

I know what time it is, I see the picture

And you will too if you understand scriptues

Botha, you walk the wrong path

The time has come for you to feel the wrath

Can't sleep, can't wait, no time to rest

Cause Allah has always been on the side of the oppressed



[Positive K & (Milk D)]

Hey yo Milk (What's up?) Hey, you're smart person

Will things get better or will things just worsen?

(Yo, Positive, times are technically advanced

Survival of the fittest, we're victim of circumstance)

We spendin money on weapons to kill another

They should spend it on somethin to free my brother

(They say I'm not African but that's not true

I got a pecan tan??? so black till I'm blue)

So, here's a tought and it's Positively given

Are you totally secure on the way you're livin?

(Hell no, if politicians we trust

They did it to them, that means they did it to us)

Well, I'm an optimistic, things will get better

(What you want me to do, write your congressman a letter?)

I don't care about congress and I'm sayin it blunt

What I'm sayin is that we step up front



[?????]

I'm about to get busy again, but on another topic

Apartheid in South Africa, we gotta stop it

The government over there cold illin

Yo, those our brothers and sisters they're killin

No freedom of speech or belief

Let's come together and impeach

Their government, stop apartheid indeed

Yo, cause it's time our people were freed



[??????]

We say that we're assassins, don't get it wrong

We're just tryin to tell you that black is strong

But our minds been twisted to turn the other cheek

We stepped in quicksand and now we're in too deep

We're playin catch up and match up but it's his game

The devil is the animal that we must tame

Believe what I'm sayin, you don't have to

But play right into his hand and he's got you



[Lin Que]

Apartheid - white supremacy

Nelson Mandela - damn, let us be

Segregation degrading to the black man

It's not only the problem of South Africans

My attitude towards whites turns sour

We must join hands and get with the black power

Lumumba, Professor X, The Overseer

The Blackwatch is protected by the leader



[Professor X]

Vanglorious, protected by the red, the black and the green

With a key

Sissyyyy-ah



[Lin Que]

Buried all my bones in the sands of the Motherland

Our fate in the hands of the white man

This involves more than separation

The white population occupies supremacy

Stripped us of our dignity and our identity

And our humanity, why such insanity?

What kind of world are we livin in?

Jugding one's worth by the color of a skin
