Rebel, rebel and yell 'Cause our people still dwell in hell Locked in a cell Yes, the structure's a cell Mad is the story I tell How long can we wait? Come on, seein' what's at stake Action for reaction If your mind's in a somewhat complacent state Get a check up This is a stick up Our freedom or your life Lord, I wish I could be peaceful But there can be no sequel Now freedom must be fundamental In Johannesburg or South Central On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em To kick in the township rebellion Yeah, what about that, sucker? Unh Yeah, so you thought you could get with the hard lines That fill your mind Thoughts, battles fought And lessons taught Yes I'll display the fitness And flip like a gymnast Raise my fist and resist Asleep, though we stand in the midst Of a war Gotta get mine Gotta get more Keepin' the mic warm against the norm 'Cause what does it offer me? I think often it's nothin' but a coffin Gotta get wreck Till our necks never swing on a rope From here to the cape of no hope Now freedom must be fundamental In Johannesburg or South Central On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em To kick in the township rebellion Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm What's it gonna take? Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross When ignorance reigns, life is lost Shackle their minds when they're left on the cross When ignorance reigns, life is lost Shackled our minds when we're bent on the cross When ignorance reigns, life is lost Shackled our minds when we're left on the cross When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost! Shackle your minds and you're left on the cross! When ignorance reigns, life is lost! Just shackle your minds when you're bent on the cross! When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost! Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f*ck the norm
