-Lyrics- 
 
Rebel, rebel and yell 
'Cause our people still dwell in hell 
Locked in a cell 
Yes, the structure's a cell 
Mad is the story I tell 
How long can we wait 
Come on, seein' what's at stake 
Action for reaction 
If your mind's in a somewhat complacent state 
Get a check-up 
This is a stick-up 
Our freedom or your life 
I wish I could be peaceful 
But there can be no sequel 
 
Chorus: 
Now freedom should be fundamental 
In Johannesburg or South Central 
On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em 
To kick in the township rebellion 
 
Yea, so you thought you could get with the hardlines 
That fill your mind 
The thoughts, battles fought 
And lessons taught 
Ans I'll display the fitness 
And flip like a gymnast 
Raise my fist and resist 
Asleep, though we stand in the midst 
Of the war 
Gotta get mine 
Gotta get more 
Keepin' the mic warm against the norm 
'Cause what does it offer me 
I think often it's nothin' but a coffin 
 
Gotta get wreck 
'Till out necks never swing on a rope 
From here to the cape of no hope 
 
Chorus 
 
Why stand 
On a silent platform 
Fight the war 
Fuck the norm
