Maglera Doe Boy - Makazana lyrics

[Maglera Doe Boy - Makazana lyrics]

Kanana township in Orkney
Once a thriving mining area
But now a pocket of poverty
Unemployment and crime
Minutes after leaving his house for town
He was confronted and killed
About 40% of South Africa's
Households live in townships
Settlements near cities where
Blacks where forced
To live under white minority rules
In what is alleged to be
A gang related turf war
Now despite two decades of democracy
Many South Africans are simply too
Poor to live elsewhere

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
You are now tuned in to the township
I am your host, with the most
Maglera Doe Boy


(whistle)
Ke hora ya bo tshelela, ba fetsa ho tsoha
Magwinya a cha, dintja di ya hobola
Nonyana di ya fofa

Age dumelang, how you doing vandag?
Mo Makazana, land of the ntariana
Where they live for monate but
They die for Lozana
Prayers to God for these
Lil' girls le bafana
Landed in Alex, I'm with Marcus and Choppa
Sidl'inyama ye ntloko
Ghetto niggas ra tshwana
Daddy Sotho and Zulu, mama Xhosa and Tswana
I was born near the farms
Ke hotse haofi le QwaQwa
Moved to Kanana
That's where I saw all these robbers
Poverty le bhovana, jealousy di kopane
Hennessey for my problems
Hennessey with some robbers
Homie a shaman, other homie a prophet
Made in his image, does that mean I am God?
Made in his image
So does that mean I embody him?
Came from the dirt but I know I'm a diamond
Re ja cheese ka nkane, di naledi aligning

Time, time, time, time
Time flies ha o sa e hlokomel' etla chaya
I spent my life
In this township but I don't want to die

Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana
Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana
Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana
Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana

Age dumelang, how you doing vandag?
Boys in the hood, but Doughboy still alive
RIP Ricky, he should've ducked
When they shot him
Eish
RIP Riky, I can't believe it Makhado
Homie a crook, other cousin a copper
He don't live by the book
He came up in the block
La bodega was hot
Roto ane are wa mo hlaba
La bodega was hot
I took the goni kea chafa, eish
Why we fidala? Eish
Why re digana? Eish
Why re diyana? That is why re siyana
Learned from the eons that niggas
Was never the peons
Glow like the neon star
Children come from the beyond


Time, time, time, time
Time flies ha o sa e hlokomel' etla chaya
I spent my life
In this township but I don't want to die

Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana
Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana
Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana
Mo makazana (Huh) , mo makazana (Huh)
Mo makazana (Huh) , for makazana
