Sol - City of Walls lyrics

Obani bengathinta amabhubesi? Interlude Uh… yeah You lock me out, and lock yourself in Tall walls, guard dogs, and barb-wire fence We divided, from within Apartheid still a part of how we live, money f** you up like hard d** Can't get help from the government They strung out too, what to do Corrupt as f**, it's nothing new Born that way, you stay low Live the next life, and get paid more Cash system, cash pimpin' Even God's on the payroll Pay more, while you stay stuck While the politician's ain't rich enough Police man is broke too Now wonder why we in handcuffs Rich man, poor man Same city we live in Skin color's where it started at Castle walls is where it is This life is hard, this world is cold So bundle up, welcome to city of walls Walls Walls Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls The city of walls The city of walls Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls You lock me out, you lock yourself in Tall walls, guard dogs and barb-wire fence The streets are thin, the kids don't play This is the price you pay, growing up with barricades True story, no glory, ghetto port from the Township Same block Mandela lived Same block Steve Biko lived 32, the first of three kids Living with his Mom and step-dad And he the bread winner for all of them sh**ty job, chump change Just enough to not go insane No more art, when you're numbed in pain You never know the name of the next Cobain Meanwhile, they livin' large In Cape Town on the boulevard Expensive art, fancy cars Don't get robbed when you valet park They throw their keys, with bloody paws From on top their buildings, behind those walls Walls Walls Walls Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls The city of walls The city of walls Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls You lock me out, you lock yourself in Tall walls, guard dogs and barb-wire fence The streets are thin, the kids don't play This is the price you pay, growing up with barricades Walls Walls Bundle up, yup, welcome to City of Walls The city of walls The city of walls Bundle up, yup, welcome to City of Walls
