Vr

last night I heard a woman screaming

oh lord can you help me?

coz the son is on the streets

just picking on his usual fights

the sister’s life is lost and gone

in a one night stand

and the father’s body is brought back home

from a battlefield

hard currencies equal political agendas

mothers and fathers are regular voters

their sons and daughters

discuss social welfare

in the government quarters

the youth man

has ever been the leader of tomorrow?

up to this morning has not taken a step towards that direction

foreign aid and drought relief is the only compassion

inna red cross society

and everybody daily

negotiating

retrenchment benefits

black empowerments inna a class of its own

Suffocating

the national budget

kicking back

on the foreign exchange

and tribalism

pays the public bill

in the black market

next to it

there goes the man in white

first things

first things first

second ones follow

third ones they along

and get together

something is common

something is common

that’s when we are

loud again

proud again

rich again

broke again

coz we wanna belong again

The governments and people have something in common

yes ya

they all wanna click click

click click

bling bling

this problem comes from a foreign land

and its governments

that sells and dries the land

in the palm of their hands

religion speaks words louder than gold

dance with the dead

dance with the invisible ones

education produces constant consumers

on the cover of a magazine

there is no job

and the only vacancy available

is the local community jail

the taxman

inflates the public health

with drugs and pains

and between animals and humans

no one can quite tell

who’s the endangered species?

and trust me

we all are bound to run in to trouble

face the same hustles

almost like life is what u make it

and on top of it u can still fake it

this riddle that causes ripple

as the world keeps bubbling

and we still wonder why

we still struggling

struggling

struggling

that’s when we are loud again

proud again

rich again

broke again

coz we want to belong again

The governments and people have something in common

yes ya

they all wanna click click

click click
