Tosh, Peter - Apartheid Lyrics
You in a me land
Quite illegal
You're in a me land
Dig out me gold
In a me land
In a me land
Dig out me diamonds
We a go fight [3x] against apartheid
We got to fight [3x] against apartheid
You're in a me land
And you build up your 'partment
You're in a me land
You build up you're regimes
Only talk 'bout justice
You're in a me land
Handing down injustice
[Chorus]
You're in a me land (Precedes each line below)
You no build no school for black children
No hospital for black people
You build your prison
You build their camp
[Chorus]
Africa's for black man
Remember
There certain place in Africa
Black man get no recognition
[Chorus]
You cross the border
You shoot off the children
Cross the border
Shoot down women
Cross the border
You take your might
Cross the border
To beat for right
[Chorus]
As for majority
Majority rule, yea
Who need minority
But that couldn't rule, yea
[Chorus]
You break off
Break off from Britain
You're quite illegal
Right where you are
You get your forces
From colonial powers
Taking my diamonds
Filling ballistic missiles
[Chorus]

R.I.P Nelson Mandela, he fought apartheid...
Steezybluck1 he did but he let them break him
your right folks...old white rich men dont die,they just change their names and colours, and just like the "Cold War", it never ends...it just finds a new venue..so the down trodden of the world beware,these suckas aint done with their games yet..they practically want us to worship them as God, but men like Mr.Tosh and family will keep us one step ahead....
Yes..he who fight and run away..live to fight another day...
I'm addicted to this song ;-)
they taught me that aim of UN was to mantain world peace while is founders are the one manufeturing weapons of wars...bad system..
Dem slick nough to know dem strategy always work for dem quite well against all ignorant fools!
Peter Tosh's best album
Apartheid gone in SA but we have Apartheid to fight still. All they build is walls and prisons, bomb hospitals, bomb schools, steal the land, gettin finance from colonial powers. The fight goes on until the vampiyah empiyah burns to the ground.
Jonny James They wanna become cyborg
@#illste all of that tech is going to accept outside interference and their bodies wont be able to resist the tech - no other way they can make their robot empire work. What they think is going to be their strength is going to be their weakness.
He speaks of the way those who were oppressed are unfairly treated. This is even valid today. Apartheid and racism is built into the system and can never be abolished.
Tosh is the man.
meoshewu oh yes he is
