Affirmative Action - Lucky Dube

From where I stand

I can see the world

Getting smaller and smaller

And there’ll be no place

For people like you Georgie

Who still live in the past

When you couldn’t do things

For yourself, you blamed it on apartheid

You blamed it on the government and everybody

Now is the time to prove yourself

If you think affirmative action

Is the way out… no way… no way

Constitution can be changed

From time to time

But that does not mean that

You don’t need no education

We are tired of people who

Think that affirmative action is the way out

And, is another way of putting puppets

Where they don’t belong

I’m so sorry Georgie

But the only way to get our economy

Strong, is to have

An educated nation

And if you think affirmative action

Is the way out… no way… no way

Education is still the key

Even though we have Affirmative action
