Fire in The Ghetto Lyrics

Fire in The Ghetto Lyrics by KWESTA

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

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 le Tito
Ngamasaka, sistabilize isimo
Ne account ibenje 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
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

Sizwile ama wave, 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 asibambek
You selling us dreams kodwa awethu aniwathengi

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, 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
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
