What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
There is enough wealth in South Africa alone
2
To feed the whole of Africa
3
So why are black people starving?
4
(Free Nelson Mandela) –> The Special AKA
5
(The negro in the United States of America still isn’t free) –> MLK
6
[ VERSE 1: MC Duke ]
7
How can you stand there and try to tell me it’s right
8
That a blackman could be put under whites?
9
You try to tell me we live in a world democratic
10
When all I can see is crazy fanatics
11
Does it take so many to die before you see
12
All the people really want is equality
13
Many years ago South Africa
14
The European man took over
15
Now he lives in style, blacks live in shacks
16
I say it’s time for the brothers to take it back
17
The diamonds and gold belong to them
18
Don’t call ’em ‘boys’ cause you know they’re men
19
See from what I’m sayin I hope you see
20
That one day the blackman will be free
21
Free
22
[ VERSE 2: MC Duke ]
23
Malcolm X and then Martin Luther King
24
Both knew ( ? ) but would they bring
25
All the brothers together in all countries
26
And inspire words and rhymes like these
27
They were sick of sittin down and hearin the lies
28
Cause these brothers ain’t stupid and pigs don’t fly
29
Cool brother Malcolm X said it this way
30
If a man rapes your wife, what do you say?
31
The whole crowd spoke just like one
32
Load up, squeeze your trigger and shoot your gun
33
You see, this ain’t a dream, this is reality
34
Ain’t science fiction on TV
35
They can’t report and won’t let us see
36
But one day the blackman will be free
37
Free
38
[ VERSE 3: MC Duke ]
39
The world sits back to max and relax
40
While South African whites shoot down African blacks
41
Thatcher tries to say she’s against racism
42
Botha’s in England – she’s hangin out with him
43
Brothers go down into the mines
44
To bring to the surface the gold they find
45
They’re only doin the job just to earn a wage
46
Do they earn fair money? No, it’s been arranged
47
That they do it, they’ll stay alive
48
No regular money, no 9 to 5
49
These words I’m sayin, I don’t give a damn
50
I’m black and I’m free, I hate the Ku-Klux Klan
51
And if they ever put brothers back in slavery
52
One of them niggas’ll never be me
53
Cause I’m free
54
[ VERSE 4: MC Duke ]
55
Now you been hopin it’s a question of mind over matter
56
But the black man’s skinny while the white gets fatter
57
Tell me what do you see on your TV
58
The living stupid confusion
59
Tarzan swings in the air and without a care
60
Kills the niggas – pure illusion
61
So what I’m tryina say, this ain’t a game, no way
62
It’s a whole message rap
63
If you believe what you see you don’t need D
64
Your brain needs a mega-slap
65
You say ( ? ) civilised, take your way our rear
66
But now the sound of a shotgun is oh so clear
67
All the warriors were brave, but now they’re not
68
Now they hide behind rocks with their triggers cocked
69
Now I check out the battle, the whites stand back
70
While on the battlefield the blacks kill blacks
71
It’s wrong, but that’s the way it is
72
Cause everybody minds their own business
73
And I tell you somethin, you listen to D
74
One day the blackman will be
75
