[Intro]

Ba tlo le botsa, "O kae general wa lona?"

Le ba re le re ona a sia

But before he left, he said

[Verse 1]

We demand the reparations for colonisation

From all the nations who were sent forth those slave ships

The litigations, countless mediations

Five hundred years and still we showing patience

We wait for justice, soon we'll take the west hostage

We’ll wait for no ransom, we will strive to pass the message

To those leaders who take their time to redeem us

United Nations giving them money to defeat us

We survive many famines, we survive many wars

Many leaders, many rich but the people still poor

They say it's not my problem, that's how it’s always been

I say, it is my problem, my people want freedom

Give us our freedom, give them their freedom

Give him his freedom, give her her freedom

Give us our freedom

And they say "What freedom is this?"

They say, "We want economic freedom in our lifetime."

Man...

[Chorus]

I gotta be, I gotta be

I gotta feel, I gotta see

From the top of my head

To the soles of my feet

So we can feel like

Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkrumah

Bantu Biko and Lumumba

Revolution's in the mind, in the mind

In the mind, there's gotta be a way

In the mind, in the mind

In the mind, there's gotta be a way

In the mind, in the mind

In the mind, there's gotta be a way
