[male vocals] THEY
WEAR
THE
SUIT
WE
WEAR
THE
STRUGGLE
Intro (
spoken)
Yeah...
Cape
Town.
From
the
mountain
to
the
Flats.
Same
ocean.
Same
struggle.
Different
streets.
Same
story.
Listen...
Hook
They
wear
the
suit...
We
wear
the
struggle.
They
make
the
rules...
We
face
the
trouble.
They
got
the
power...
We
got
the
numbers.
When
the
people
rise...
Nobody
can
stop
us.
DA
brothers
Come
home...
DA
sisters
Come
home...
Back
to
the
people
you
know.
One
Community.
One
Voice.
One
Mandate.
That's
the
way
we
go.
Verse 1
I
know
you,
my
DA
broer,
I
know
you,
my
DA
sis.
Same
taxi
routes,
same
struggle,
same
dust.
You
were
knocking
doors
when
they
came
with
cameras
came
out.
Telling
people "
change
is
here"
while
you
were
in
doubt.
EPWP
worker
with
a
family
to
feed.
Rands
don't
stretch
when
the
cupboard's
in
need.
Neighbourhood
Watch
standing
guard
through
the
night.
But
who's
standing
guard
for
your
own
rights?
You
carry
the
DA
message.
You
carry
the
DA
brand.
But
when
the
month
ends...
Where
do
you
stand?
Verse 2
You
defend
the
DA
party,
but
look
at
the
street.
Look
at
the
water
running
under
your
feet.
Look
at
the
meter.
Look
at
the
bill.
Tell
me
honestly...
Are
you
standing
still?
A
city
with
money
for
projects
that
shine,
But
families
waiting
in
housing
lines.
An
Apartheid
wall
on
the N2
won't
hide
the
pain.
You
can't
build
dignity
by
dividing
us
again.
Hook
They
wear
the
suit...
We
wear
the
struggle.
They
protect
the
powerful...
We
fight
through
the
rubble.
They
got
the
platform...
We
got
the
scars.
We
know
every
street.
We
know
who
we
are.
DA
brothers
Come
home...
DA
sisters
Come
home...
Your
people
are
calling
you.
One
Community.
One
Voice.
One
Mandate.
There's
work
we
must
do.
Verse 3
Cape
Flats
raised
us.
We
know
the
terrain.
The
laughter,
the
music.
The
struggle,
the
pain.
From
Manenberg
blocks
To
Bonteheuwel
corners.
From
Delft
streets
To
the
Hanover
Park
shops.
Different
postcodes.
Same
reality.
Same
dream.
Same
humanity.
Don't
let
blue
colour
Or
DA
logo
divide.
Your
neighbour
is
standing
Right
there
by
your
side.
Bridge (
crowd
chant)
Who
built
these
communities?
WE
DID!
Who
carries
the
struggle?
WE
DO!
Who
has
the
power?
WE
DO!
Cape
Flats...
What
you
gonna
do?
Final
Hook
They
wear
the
suit...
We
wear
the
struggle.
But
we
still
stand
tall
Through
every
trouble.
Not
against
our
neighbours.
Not
against
our
own.
We
are
building
the
future...
From
the
streets
we
call
home.
One
Community!
One
Voice!
One
Mandate!
Cape
Flats...
