Tribalism and xenophobia are apartheid’s
Slave mentality of DIVISION
Remember what the Rastaman said:
If your complexion high, high, high
If your complexion low, low, low
You are an African!
Only as ONE shall we win our struggles, old and new…
Hear this-
No food on my table, don’t you know:
The struggle continues!
No roof above my head, don’t you know:
The struggle continues!
Landless in the land, don’t you know:
The struggle continues!
Remember Bantu Education, don’t you know:
The struggle continues!
HIV warfare, don’t you know:
The struggle continues!
Genocide after genocide, don't you know:
The struggle continues!
And if you trade my culture for a coca cola can:
The struggle continues, I say!
