Apartheid Lyrics

Peter Tosh

You in a me land - quite illegal.
You're in a me land - dig out me gold.
In a me land - digging out me pearls.
In a me land - dig out me diamonds.

We a go fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
We got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

You're in a me land - and you build up your 'partment.
You're in a me land - you build up you're regimes.
You're in a me land - only talk 'bout justice.
You're in a me land - handing down injustice.

We gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
Brothers got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

You're in a me land - you no build no school for black children.
You're in a me land - no hospital for black people.
You're in a me land - you build your prison.
You're in a me land - you build their camp.

We got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
We gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

Africa's for black man - remember!
There certain place in Africa,
Black man get no recognition.

So we a go fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
Black man got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

You cross the border - you shoot off the children.
Cross the border - shoot down women.
Cross the border - you take your might.
Cross the border - to beat for right.

We gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
We got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

As for majority - majority rule, yea!
Who need minority - but that couldn't rule, yea!

We got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
We gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.

You break off - break off from Britain.
You're quite illegal - right where you are.
You get your forces - from colonial powers.
Taking my diamonds - filling ballistic missiles.

Now we a go fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
Black man got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
Common and fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
We got to fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid.
We gonna fight, fight, fight, fight 'gainst apartheid..
