Kwesta – Fire In The Ghetto Lyrics
Fire In The Ghetto Lyrics by Kwesta ft Troublle
[Chorus]
Thatha iCover, there’s a fire in the ghetto /
Lokshin cuture, 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
[Verse 1]
Power to the people / Emakasi, yeah fire up the
diesel/ Abasazi we gon’ triumph over evil /
Shamba 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
namhlanjel And angifuni kuzwa story namhlanje,
EKSE!/
[Pre-Chorus]
Empower my people, my father, my leader / My
mother, my teacher, my brother, my keeper / My
sister, my healer, my sarafina / Baba wami, leader,
empower my dreamers
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 asibambeki, you selling us dreams kodwa
awethu aniwathengi / AlI I really want is true
freedom, ng phushe ng’phande, ngidle nginone /
Kdala ngiloku ngincenga ischool fees dawg,
ngifunde ng’zame, ng’phushe ng’pope /
[Pre-Chorus]
Empower my people, my father, my leader / My
mother, my teacher, my brother, my keeper / My
sister, my healer, my sarafina / Baba wami, leader,
empower my dreamers
[Chorus]
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
