Fire In The Ghetto - Kwesta

Thatha iCover, there’s a fire in the ghetto

Lokshin culture, mzabalazo, still the same song

Bulawayo, Katlehong, down to Soweto

Every ghetto, Dankie Yebo

Thatha iCover, there’s a fire in the ghetto

Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona

Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong

That’s the ghetto, dankie yebo

Power to the people

Emakasi, yeah fire up the diesel

Abasazi we gon' triumph over evil

S’hamba phansi, stabalaza impilo

Ya namanje, Sizele nje le Tito

Ngamasaka, sistabilize isimo

Ne account ibenje ngalabo zero

Nesalukwazi siveze naso izinyo… nakanjani

No way, angeke ulunge feleba

Ngisekhoneni, ngishera iLoose namagenge

Coconut, musa ukung’namathela

Khohlwa dali, lobhuti akathengwa… nangempela

Yini awuboni la kuyasha?

Uzobhadala what you owe namhlanje

Road block, ubhaya ikholi namhlanje

And angifuni kuzwa story namhlanje, Ekse!

Empower my people, my father, my leader

My mother, my teacher, my brother, my keeper

My sister, my healer, my sarafina

Baba wami, my leader, empower my dreamers

Thatha iCover, there’s a fire in the ghetto

Lokshin culture, mzabalazo, still the same song

Bulawayo, Katlehong, down to Soweto

Every ghetto, Dankie Yebo

Thatha iCover, there’s a fire in the ghetto

Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona

Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong

That’s the ghetto, dankie yebo

Sizwile ama wave, k’nini niloku niswima kulemali yethu

Tax man, thola iscima kushe ugebhu

Eskom biza mina kubuye ugesi

Sifuna ukujabula Jabula sibe happy, yeah

But every other day we puffing that envy

Skhala nje umalume akas’bheki

And everybody cares til it stops trending

And that’s why kungalaleki, yilama nightmares and uFreddy akadeli

Vele siyahlanya and asibambeki, you selling us dreams kodwa awethu aniwathengi

All I really want is true freedom, ng’phushe ng’phande, ngidle nginone

K’dala ngiloku ngincenga iSchool fees dawg, ngifunde ng’zame, ng’phushe ng’pope

Empower my people, my father, my leader

My mother, my teacher, my brother, my keeper

My sister, my healer, my sarafina

Baba wami, my leader, empower my dreamers

Thatha iCover, there’s a fire in the ghetto

Lokshin culture, mzabalazo, still the same song

Bulawayo, Katlehong, down to Soweto

Every ghetto, Dankie Yebo

Thatha iCover, there’s a fire in the ghetto

Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona

Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong

That’s the ghetto, dankie yebo…
