(Yeah,
check
it)
Looking
back
at
the
blocks,
memories
fading
But
the
scars,
they
don't
ever
fade
Just
echoes
in
the
hallway
Let’
s
take
a
walk
down
memory
lane
Cape
Flats
wind
blowing
through
the
broken
glass
Trying
to
make
a
future
when
the
present
doesn't
last
Atlantis,
where
the
dreams
get
buried
in
the
sand
Young
boys
growing
up
with
a
pistol
in
their
hand
Used
to
play
soccer
till
the
streetlights
hit
the
ground
Now
it’
s
siren
wails
and
that
hollow
shooting
sound
It’
s
a
cycle
of
the
cycle,
yeah
the
devil’
s
favorite
game
When
the
neighborhood
you
love
just
don’
t
look
the
same
Oh,
when
will
the
violence
find
a
place
to
rest?
Too
many
mothers
crying,
putting
loved
ones
to
the
test
Manenberg,
Westbury,
shadows
on
the
wall
How
many
more
of
us
are
destined
to
fall?
We’
re
reaching
for
the
light
in
a
city
full
of
gray
When
will
the
shooting
finally
fade
away?
In
Manenberg
the
rhythm
isn't
music,
it’
s
the
lead
Sowing
seeds
of
hatred
just
to
watch
the
garden
bleed
Gugulethu,
Nyanga,
territorial
lines
Fighting
over
pavement
while
the
sunlight
declines
Phillipi
in
the
crossfire,
Eldorado
in
the
dark
Every
corner
store
a
memory,
every
block
a
mark
Innocent
bystanders
catching
shells
in
their
chest
Why
we
losing
all
our
brothers
before
they
reach
the
rest?
Oh,
when
will
the
violence
find
a
place
to
rest?
Too
many
mothers
crying,
putting
loved
ones
to
the
test
Manenberg,
Westbury,
shadows
on
the
wall
How
many
more
of
us
are
destined
to
fall?
We’
re
reaching
for
the
light
in
a
city
full
of
gray
When
will
the
shooting
finally
fade
away?
Parents
burying
children,
that
ain't
how
it
should
be
We
need
to
break
the
chains,
we
need
to
set
the
spirit
free
It’
s
time
to
put
the
pride
aside,
look
at
what
we’
ve
done
Before
we
lose
the
legacy
to
the
power
of
a
gun
I
remember
the
laughter
before
the
steel
took
the
stage
Before
the
streets
became
a
prison
in
a
digital
age
We’
re
fighting
for
a
border
that
we
don't
even
own
While
we’
re
dying
in
the
streets,
living
life
all
alone
Can
we
change
the
narrative?
Can
we
rewrite
the
code?
Before
we
reach
the
end
of
this
long
and
heavy
road
Let
the
peace
be
the
anthem,
let
the
healing
begin
Let’
s
stop
the
bleeding
from
deep
within
Oh,
when
will
the
violence
find
a
place
to
rest?
Too
many
mothers
crying,
putting
loved
ones
to
the
test
Manenberg,
Westbury,
shadows
on
the
wall
How
many
more
of
us
are
destined
to
fall?
We’
re
reaching
for
the
light
in
a
city
full
of
gray
When
will
the
shooting
finally
fade
away?
Yeah,
it’
s
for
the
flats
For
the
ones
we
lost
For
the
ones
still
fighting
Let’
s
find
a
better
way
Just
echoes…
fading
out. (
Fade
to
silence)
