they call me a barbarian/ a communist/ a killer terrorist/ not rastafarian/ i'm madiba' it's 1976/ locked on the island outside they killing my kids/ my own comrades eating my bitch/ amandla,they scream as they skit/ sweaty lips licking her tits/ but this is the work of apartheid, i know what it is/ they don't know what it means/ how it feels, being judged based on yo skin/ being separated from yo next of kin/ for a stupid job groveling in town/ far from home you travelling for brown/ bread and achaar, these people is clowns/ but nobody gives a fuck/ fuck, all they know is to fuck/ fuck, all they know is to klaap/ chisa mpana, chisa lebutsi la leburu/ chisa stlamatlama ke black mapuru/ i'ma shock everybody when i come out a guru/ an awesome god, ka go loya ke thuru/ that's the barbarian mind rising to the fore/ that's the henrietta marie anchoring on the shore/ welcome home as we sing the barbarian song/ come for a ride, let madiba feel the billa bong...

this is the south african story, very real, very sad, but be glad, for you can still change it, and make it better. RIP to those that got killed in this song. Mr CEO, Mr In-Charge, you know who you are...
