Poverty City Lyrics
Verse1(SmartKing Strange)
I live in a poverty city where you hustle for supper
Cause your Breakfast is the sunrise, you pray to live
We neglect the negativity, we choose to love
And I know the history of my homies back n the streets
As I know the hunger to see brighter tomorrows
Busy collecting cans man to get a moolah
Too many qualified Doctors but they're sucking Vodkas
Unemployment is the second name of our City
Cause we fear more when they talking about Voting
They are very supportive in nepotism and fraud
And they are busy debating about mining and gold
Laugh at me cause I'm penniless I earn no gold
I don't know much about politic in Azania
All I know is that the system is fake dawg
And then they start to be no good kid in the City yoh
Government is making it hard for them to archive..their dreams and feeding families with no one to beg
I can't even fall asleep knowing that the police are coming for my brothers who sleep n the streets
.
(Bob Marley interview)
.
Verse2 (SmartKing Strange)
Yoh Africa is for Africans we need no barbarians.. the fact is that we fall
No lies no more we need the truth about the law
No vacancies around the city, a mob of thugs in every corner(man)
The penniless are starving to death, we fail to support
City of gold is falling for a trick of a trap,
Now we need to innovate the system for the poor ones
As we fighting for survival in this war of junk status
I'm the seed you come and reap the fruits off my trees
I'm suffocating financially but I've got the minerals
.
