Yimbi lendawo
Siyayisaba lendawo
Yimbi lendawo
Hey bathule nje bazi iciniso
Yimbi lendawo (yona lendawo)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Hey bathule nje bazi iciniso
Yimbi lendawo (yona lendawo)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Sithi imbi lendawo (eh bathule nje ba'ziqiniso)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Sithi imbi lendawo (eh bathule nje ba'ziqiniso)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Sometimes I wonder if the struggle was worth it
Our people still fighting for service
They need water, electricity, leaders of authenticity
They've struggled so long they deserve it
Three hours on a taxi to work
Just to arrive and be treated like dirt
This whole township's a prison
We're down, we're stuck in the system
We're working hard but never see the dessert
Yimbi lendawo (yona lendawo)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Sithi imbi lendawo (yebo thina siyayisaba lendawo)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Sithi imbi lendawo (yebo thina siyayisaba lendawo)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Our juxtaposition it seems
Is we're between Biko's dream and Hollywood screens
And though political freedom was a lifeline
The distance between Alex and Sandton is still a lifetime
The crime rate raises my heart rate
The inequality's enough to make your heart break
The disillusionment, the poverty and heartache
Got me thinking whether we defeated apartheid
Yimbi lendawo (yona lendawo)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Sithi imbi lendawo (yebo thina siyayisaba lendawo)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Yebo thina siyayisaba lendawo
No political democracy can survive and flourish if the mass of our people remain in poverty, without land, without tangible prospects for a better life.
Attacking poverty and deprivation must therefore be the first priority of a democratic government Nelson Mandela 1997
Yimbi lendawo (yona lendawo)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Sithi imbi lendawo (yebo thina siyayisaba lendawo)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Yimbi lendawo (iyoh iyoh iyoh)
Yebonina siyayisaba
Yimbi lendawo (yona lendawo)
Siyayisaba lendawo (eiskuyo)
Sithi imbi lendawo (yebo thina siyayisaba lendawo)
Yimbi lendawo
Siyayisaba lendawo
Yimbi lendawo
