[K.O, Black Coffee - SA Rising lyrics]
Kudala besicindezela kudala besicindezela
If we can't help ourselves
Who's gonna help us, who's gonna help us
Uyangibambezela, uyangibambezela
Ooh don't be selfish buya buya zwelami
Tell me where we going
Tell me where we going
I think we loosing it
We need some direction moving forward
This ain't the same rainbow nation ka
Mandela as we know it
The citizens are really getting fed
Up if you noticing
You see the country depreciating
At a rapid pace
Some folks are immigrating tryna getaway
We need to continue praying for a better day
Hope this message can go all the way
Up to the head of state dear Mr President
With everything happening in the country
Hope you understand why some of
Your residents are panickin
Can be challenging to be
Patriotic eMzansi sometimes
When you look at the
Shenanigans in the cabinet
Pretty evident how political egos
Have a negative element
In economic development of the nation
Before exiting as the president
I believe you still have power to
Swing the pendulum for the better
Kudala besicindezela kudala besicindezela
If we can't help ourselves
Who's gonna help us, who's gonna help us
Uyangibambezela, uyangibambezela
Ooh don't be selfish buya buya zwelami
Show my appreciation
For all different colours of
The rainbow nation, yeah
You know we need each other
You know we feed each other
But, I wanna take this moment
To speak to my brothers and sisters
In the spectrum of my fellow people of colour
Why are we so divided
Can you tell me why are we so divided
We could be stronger if we were more united
A lot of hate is ignited in our hearts
When we see a neighbour doing well
But as soon as he fails we get excited
Gotta get up and play your
Position and play your position
In 2017 you shouldn't be playing victim
Instead of making excuses
You should be making decisions
On how to change your condition
Blaming the system won't be
Making a difference it's embarrassing how we
Notorious for prejudice
On fellow Africans when they came over
Here to make a living
Laziness should be your phobia
But why are you simply
Resorting to xenophobia, mntom'nyama
Kudala besicindezela kudala besicindezela
If we can't help ourselves
Who's gonna help us, who's gonna help us
Uyangibambezela, uyangibambezela
Ooh don't be selfish buya buya zwelami
You rappers need to be more
Socially conscious with your voices
We flexing on every verse and every chorus
Should be playing our role as the reporters
Of the stories of our people
We one of the strongest forces for change
Social-economic discourse is occurring
In all the corners of the country
Children are hungry people are dying
While we busy taking for granted
And misusing the power of our influence
You know your role in the constituent
And everything you bring to it
If we can't help ourselves
Who's gonna help us, who's gonna help us
Uyangibambezela, uyangibambezela
Ooh don't be selfish buya buya zwelami
Tell me where we going
Tell me where we going
I think we loosing it
We need some direction moving forward
This ain't the same rainbow nation ka
