Lyrics:

1 shot for buisness as usual / big money hates a strike and the feeling is mutual
1 shot for cops in the pocket of power
1 shot for clocks showing a final hour
1 shot for TV telling half the story
1 shot for the truth is the reality is more gory
1 shot for running in the wrong direction
1 shot burials and body collection
1 shot for families alone and scared
1 shot for stories manufactured and prepared
1 shot fingers that the people shouldn’t point
1 shot for dirt that the blood anoints
1 shot selling all that mineral wealth
1 shot deteriorating lives and health
1 shot for carry on day to day
1 shot for CEOs who still get paid
1 shot for power and the money it takes
1 shot for politics and the noise it makes
1 shot for bodies that he’s walking over
1st name Julius / last name Ramaphosa
cheap politics and funeral plans / 1 shot for the leaders of a wounded land
1 shot for still stuck in chains from the past
	for unity first and unions last


1 shot for 44 with nothing to show
1 shot for NO coz if you didn’t now you know

44 shots 	Now you know your place
		Black like the facts / now you know your place
44 shots	For your right to strike
		Black like rest in eternal night
44 shots	coz you had no choice
		coz you have no money means you have no voice
44 shots	You had to die
		so the whole world could know about your hopeless lives

1 shot for white people who still don’t know / about the legacy of cheap black labour flow
1 shot for whites sick of taking the blame
1 shot for blacks sick of taking the pain
1 shot for business and union collusion
1 shot for different bullet, different gun, same human
1 shot for far away hidden from sight
1 shot for cops breaking doors down at night
1 shot for old news / same old same old
1 shot for pay dues / new players / old gold
1 shot for 3 letters: B E E
1 shot for black and poor and still not free
1 shot for don’t stop production and profit
1 shot for even dead bodies couldn’t stop it
1 shot for money over man every time
1 shot for crimes buried deep in the mines
1 shot for no-one knows the real deal
1 shot for must work for children’s meals
1 shot for slavery changing shape
1 shot for same struggle / different state
1 shot for history is easy to blame
	at the lowest levels / nothing has changed


1 shot for 44 with nothing to show
1 shot for NO coz if you didn’t now you know

THATS 44 shots Now you know your place
			Black like the facts / now you know your place
	44 shots	For your right to strike
			Black like rest in eternal night
	44 shots	coz you had no choice
			coz you have no money means you have no voice
	44 shots	You had to die
			so the whole world could know about your hopeless lives


10 shots for safety / for my middle class life / for my skin / my protection / my bright white reflection / for being lost in my land / coz I don’t know where to start / for starting by opening ears, eyes and heart

10 shots for those at the top out of danger / for the leadership I get from the death of a stranger / for political games with no escape from the tomb / for political gains in the year of Mangaung / for the union boss in bed with the mines / for the socialist speeches selling capital crimes / for cultural weapons / for cartridge shells / for the cops walking free / for the strikers in the cells

10 shots for 10 shots for many more to come / 1 shot to stand together / nowhere to run / 1 shot to ad another tragedy to legacy / to rewrite the future with the pen of humanity / 1 shot for Marikana / that forgotten spot / 1 shot to realize that all we have is 1 shot

This aint no anti semetic/news feed type claiming that my jew fam can get it/this aint about superiority of ones religion/but human condition,the oppressed and the division/ upset and unrest of those tired of being the victim/evil controllers of zion propaganda dependent /what is holy if equality is just a figment/ of imagination/where's the practice in your statement/amen to ameen/i mean to strike the hearts of men coz most is perilous/without the afterlife focus/ I could drop facts that would do more than stimulate/but set it straight/yo why not/here I go/yo illustrate/ south africa apartheid regime group areas act/ israeli apartheid regime refugee camps/the Soweto rebellion, 1976/intifada 87 children with bricks/(children of the stones)

Act like you know / act like you see the disguise in the Zionist lies / playing games with lives like Yahtzee / Israel breeds a new kind of Nazi / with those separate laws / with those separate roads / with those settlements burning all those olive groves / the farmer cries and he falls to the land / then he rise back up with the rock in hand / slingshot swinging at a tank go crack / when the people get pushed man they learn to push back / Bush had your back and so does Obama and all those before / more dollars more war / the first world funding Apartheid again / same name on the check could be Thatcher or Reagan / but pressure builds and resistance grows / South Africa / it's time for us to act like we know

[Raheem Kemet]

Blaakaa! fe dem/ma crew dun read up plenty/dem street regulate with the truth as sensei/da blueprint apartheid been apon replay/freedom be iya first name/ da lion peep game/ I se dem lion peep game

Shine Palestine / freedom in our time / Palestine / every point that I check's Intifada intellect / Shine Palestine / struggle on my mind / Palestine / the truth gon' set them free
