Work it out.
And they say they're trying to work it out,
But they don't know just how or why.
And it really seems preordained,
And my friends are far away,
And I wonder if they're ok,
And I wonder if the times have changed,
And I thought that I saw your face.
Are you safe?
From the beginning there was war and sinning
and it seems like nothing has changed.
Bombs are dropping on Iraq and Lebanon,
(It's like) Vietnam all over again.
Days ago a bredrin that I know,
Tell me dat he cyan tek no more.
Bombs are dropping on Iraq and Libanon
and everywhere it seems like war.
From now on I'm not fighting fair,
It's guerilla warfare,
It's been 400 years of my people's tears.
I'm like Shaka with a hungry spear,
Asilwe ke, ng'fikile ke (let's go ahead and fight, I have arrived)
Mina ng'uqhaqha 'maqiniso, uBaba ung'biza uCath'impi (I'm the truth revealer, my father calls me fight instigator)
uBhambhatha Ka Manciza lo ongijoja ngomkhonto (the one who pierced me with a spear)
Once a slave and now a brave,
I got my army in the cave.
Asilwe ke, ng'fikile ke (let's go ahead and fight, I have arrived)
I don't wanna see you fall
don't wanna see you hurt at all.
See you fall.
No no no...
