prophets of da city - understand where i'm coming from lyrics

[intro]
listen to the voices
hlanga… hlanga… hlanganani
hlanga… hlanga… hlanganani

[verse 1]
[?]
i’m sorry the story is not for me
why should i fight for a country’s glory when it ignores me?
beside, the township’s already a war zone
so why complain or moan?
’cause you home is not worse than your neighbour’s
’cause everyone’s looking for hand outs and favours
and it’s not a funny site ’cause money’s tight
a whole factory got laid off the other night
now unemployment makes mess
yoh, poison to boys and girls in your neighbourhood
but who’s gonna pay for food?
forget about the politicians, i’m in a mess
thinking will he care about your ass in soweto or mitch+ll’s plein
and the b+tch will claim it’s sympathizers
but the rich will blame the poor for state of the township
a charity i’m not down with
so don’t look to the [?] to put you back in the first place
when you’re restless on thursdays
a weekend is the worst case, everybody’s drinking and brain dead
but i guess this pain led to this kinda mind state
and the crime rate increases
now tomorrow became a blind date
[chorus]
hlanga… hlanga…
understand where i’m coming from
listen to the voices
hlanga… hlanga…
understand where i’m coming from
voices of the [?]

[verse 2]
step one, step two, amandla awethu
from gugulethu to soweto
let our voices tear through the air
(you gotta be black, you gotta be strong, you gotta be one)
and no government [?] us from our freedom (a new south africa, i don’t believe ’em)
i see them on the news [?] a scam to set up a black man

how can i preach, preach, preach
teach, teach, teach is what i wanna do, i gotta do
they couldn’t teach it to me in school
’cause knowledge [?] a bill to protect
a fraud in the mind (’cause i know the time)

forgive and forget (nah!)
it’s easier said than done
’cause who stole the land from the black man?
and you beware of a handshake of a d+mn snake
and wait
before you fall for the okidoki
make to negotiate and motivate about whatever
but i hope you made the right choice
’cause those white boys are coming with the plots against the

now what about codesa?
and can you trust the orange, white and blue?
and the man who ganged you and sold your land to?
but how soon we forget
if they say peace but racism is not out the door yet
what’s your meaning of peace, by the way?
no more resistance, is that what you’re trying to say?
but no justice, no peace
tell your police they can go kiss the tip of my bazooka
’cause i am the shooter and the prosecutor
and you found guilty of [?]
now you wanna fool me with peace and harmony
but we’re not going out like before
we are ready for pretoria
it’s a new story y’all [?]
i pay no mind to your schemes
’cause i know the time

[chorus]
hlanga… hlanga…
understand where i’m coming from
listen to the voices
hlanga… hlanga…
understand where i’m coming from
voices of the [?]
