Nouveau Noir

I am afraid of what we are becoming Senseless heartless evil and cruel Where have we buried our souls again remind me. Where did we leave them? When did hearts turn to stone ? 21 years free and apparently our nation has lost its identity.

So we are no longer African or no longer brothers But I’ll pick at your differences cause you are now other

See I am hungry I am unemployed I am bitter you see and these are the the things you come and take from me ? Explain this to me why don’t we ever sit and question the ANC ?

Our freedom fighters got us fighting recklessly and I guess our hearts been bleeding endlessly. Lacerating souls with broken promises of equality and economic freedom. But I can’t blame the people that fought for my freedom even though I am mentally in chains.

Oh my people how far we are from free tell me when did we lose our identity? I bet Steve Bhiko turns in his grave when innocent blood hits our soil Im sure Chris Hani shudders in disgrace when cries of terror float in our broken skies.
