Brothers and Sisters of Africa
It still the same
The words they use are just a game
Mothers and Daughters of Africa

What do they do with a man whose Father was a Swazi?
What do they do with a man whose Mother was a Zulu?
Where do they send him?
Where do they send him?
What do they do if that man's grandmother was a Tsonga?
Do they send him to Kwazulu, Boputatswana, or Transkei?
I ask why?
What do they do to a man?
They take away his freedom
What do they do to a man?
They take away his woman
Where do they send him?
Where do they send him?
What do they do to a man?
They take away his children
Oh, they send him to Kwazulu, Boputatswana, or Transkei
I ask why?
Amandla, Amandla
Awethu, Awethu
Amandla, Amandla

How long must we wait?
How long will they keep kiling our leaders?
How long must we suffer?

The wind of change
Will break the man who hold the gun.
