Many African children,
|
Living in a concrete situation
|
African children
|
Living in a concrete situation
|
African children
|
I wonder do they know where you're coming from
|
African children
|
Down there yes in a concrete situation
|
African children
|
I wonder do they know where you're coming from
|
The whole of the nation
|
Living in these tenements,
|
Crying and applying to their council
|
For assistance every day
|
Now that their tribulation so sad
|
Now that their environment so bad
|
High rise concrete
|
No back yard for their children to play
|
African children
|
I wonder do they know where you're coming from,
|
African children
|
In a concrete situation
|
African children
|
Wonder do they know where you're coming from
|
All of the nation are living in these tenements
|
Precast stonewall concrete cubicals
|
Their rent increases each and every other day
|
Structural repairs are assessed yet not done
|
Lift out of action on the twenty-seventh floor
|
And when they work they smell
|
African children
|
Living in a concrete situation
|
African children
|
I wonder do they know where you're coming from
|
African children
|
Living in a concrete situation
|
African children
|
I wonder do they know where you're coming from
|
African children
|
Down there down there in a concrete situation
|
African children
|
Wonder do they know where you're coming from
|
Where you're coming from
|
African children
|
REPEAT
|
|
Sometimes wanting to party late into the night
|
And when they're out of sight
|
The neighbours' complaining again
|
And its a place where
|
You don't even know your neighbour's name
|
It's a ghetto in the sky
|
