Mzansi's Lament
A song made by Mthobisi Silinda
(Aweh!) Eish, Mzansi, my home... where did we go wrong, neh?
They talk of history's pain, the white men and division
But mara, now it's our own people, causing deep collision
The streets they scream for justice, but the system turns a blind eye, mos
Criminals they walk free, while the honest ones just cry, yoh!
They say some folk get rights, more than the ones who toil and sweat
This bitter truth we swallow, a debt we can't forget
Oh, South Africa, my country, where is the peace we chase?
The "Dead Peanut" still walks free, mocking us in this place
We're tired of the bloodshed, the stolen dreams, the pain
Bring back true justice, so we can rise again! (Sharp sharp!)
This peanut drug dealer, thinks he's above the law
No human rights for those who break every single moral flaw
We talk of neighbour's rights, but what about our own fight?
To protect our families, and finally see the light
We ask, "Should we fight back, 'til we're pushed against the wall?"
To reclaim our nation, before we lose it all! (Haibo!)
Oh, South Africa, my country, where is the peace we chase?
The "Dead Peanut" still walks free, mocking us in this place
We're tired of the bloodshed, the stolen dreams, the pain
Bring back true justice, so we can rise again!
Aweh, Mzansi! Justice for our children, for our land! Yebo!
