Go tshwana fela

Dig, dig, dig deeper
Find your mouth's next feed
In your own land

Curse your master
Make him money
A slave in your own house

Feed his gravy train
Sweat and die
Leaving all your riches

Hurry on down the earth's crust
Deep down into the Anaconda's belly
Come back with Asbestos & Silicosis as your reward

Hurry about & lay with her
Give her your ills & take her life sentence
Stray from pills & die a poor man

Your mind has been played by the fake master
Your money is his now
So is your land and all that you are
All you can do is write poems about it & wallow in sad truths

Rise up oh! Afrikan child
Vuk' emaqandeni masebe
The time is now

Ke nako
Setimela sa goya Johni se fitlhile
Pagama tuu, reye go swa rotlhe
Kgang kgolo ke gore re lokile mogo maswe

Re tlogetse sera se re tseela tsotlhe
Epa foo re swe
Dira ka pele mabitla a re emetse

Itlhaganele tuu
Bokamoso ba rona ke loso
Gaise re amogele sepe molefatsheng la maswi le dinotshi
Epa foo, re ipoloke

Ga rena mosola
Re tshwana fela le bao re ba bolokileng
Ga rena mosola go fitlhela re kuka ditshwanelo tsa rona ka magetle
Re busetsa lefatshe la rona modiatleng tsa rona

Nkabo re sule rotlhe
Ka gore bana ba rona ga bana lehumo lepe ntle le tshokolo mo ga bone

Ga rena mosola
Ga kena mosola
Go thata
A re sweng tuu
