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
I say 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 lе Tito
Ngamasaka sistabilize isimo
Ne account ibenjе 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 (Fire in the ghetto ohoh)
Lokshin culture mzabalazo still the same song (Still the same song)
Bulawayo Katlehong down to Soweto (Down to Soweto)
Every ghetto (Every ghetto)
Dankie yebo (Dankie yebo)
Thatha icover there's a fire in the ghetto (Fire in the ghetto ohoh)
Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona (Asiphe wona)
Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong (And remain strong)
That's the ghetto (That's the ghetto)
Dankie yebo (Dankie yebo)
Hay' sizwile ama wave
Aw' 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 sellin' us dreams kodwa awethu aniwathengi
And 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 (Hayi ekse)
My father my leader (Hayi ekse)
My mother my teacher (Ekse)
My brother my keeper (Ekse)
My sister my healer my Sarafina (Hayi ekse)
Baba wami my leader empower my dreamers
Thatha icover there's a fire in the ghetto (Fire in the ghetto ohoh)
Lokshin culture mzabalazo still the same song (Still the same song)
Bulawayo Katlehong down to Soweto (Down to Soweto)
Every ghetto (Every ghetto)
Dankie yebo (Dankie yebo)
Thatha icover there's a fire in the ghetto (Fire in the ghetto ohoh)
Sbonga uMdali for lamandla asiphe wona (Asiphe wona)
Silwa indlala sidla uthando and remain strong (And remain strong)
That's the ghetto (That's the ghetto)
Dankie yebo (Dankie yebo)
