[Intro]
Now for this next track
No need to bump your head, make noise
Or even sing along
I just want you to chill back and listen
And absorb
[Chorus]
When alone look up and ask yourself go diragalang
To lefatshe la boraro na batho le naganang
A senyegile meletlo ke kopana ka diphitlo
Ke malwetse ra bolayana dilo tse di fatlha leitlho
When alone look up and ask yourself kuthi kuyenzekalani
To umuzi waka baba cela ningitshele ninjani
Go senyegile meletlo re kopana ka diphitlo
Sonke siyafa and we suffer dilo tse di fatlha leitlho
[Verse 1]
We all familiar with the A B C's
Private school kids know about the IED's
We know the Yo-TV's, the K-TV's the BBC's
But are we all familiar about the killer STD's
Kopa selo se le sengwe fela
Let's oversee mathata ana banna ka rapela
Use a condom, buda if you don't o setse
Or don't make love at all, do it ga o nyetse, ha ise ke fetse
Selepi se ba nyaka lerato ga ba le gwetse
They rather go sleep around ba tshwarwe ke malwetse
A o lebetse, you forgotten gore AIDS kills
Nobody to save you disangoma or extra doctor pills
One day watch Scamtho or Take 5 and think of this
How many ignorant people are infected 'cause of this
I know, you heard the song so many times ene e ya go khinya
But unless you act bolwetse bo bo tlo go senya
[Chorus]
When alone look up and ask yourself go diragalang
To lefatshe la boraro na batho le naganang
A senyegile meletlo ke kopana ka diphitlo
Ke malwetse ra bolayana dilo tse di fatlha leitlho
When alone look up and ask yourself kuthi kuyenzekalani
To umuzi waka baba cela ningitshele ninjani
Go senyegile meletlo re kopana ka diphitlo
Sonke siyafa and we suffer dilo tse di fatlha leitlho
[Verse 2]
Bathonyana ba thunyana bana ba rumulana
When alone I ask myself gore a re tla gona na
Ditlhobolo mathekeng, disabole dipotleng
Re kgotse le tsona back in the days of T.P. Kgotleng
Go thwe, s'ka utswa, s'ka aka, just like your neighbor
Don't kill him for the sake of paper
Ke tlo go le lobela taba tsa nnete
Sethlomola pelo sa ko kasi ya mfana githi
I'll start about the story of this other mpinji yaka ya Unit 1
Had a sewen salon o mmona lead the gun
Living life nice a ja kas' a tshwere bo ngwan'
Came across a gun ba mo didimatsa ka nkane
Saw a girl getting mugged tried to help but instead
For being a good Samaritan he got a hole in the head
Rest in peace to Mangope, Donald, le Kagiso and Oupa Mafokate
And also those who died of phamokate
[Chorus]
When alone look up and ask yourself go diragalang
To lefatshe la boraro na batho le naganang
A senyegile meletlo ke kopana ka diphitlo
Ke malwetse ra bolayana dilo tse di fatlha leitlho
When alone look up and ask yourself kuthi kuyenzekalani
To umuzi waka baba cela ningitshele ninjani
Go senyegile meletlo re kopana ka diphitlo
Sonke siyafa and we suffer dilo tse di fatlha leitlho
[Bridge]
How come… ha go senyega re supa palamente
How come… every Saturday kasi e tletse ka tente
How come… balemi ba jabetswe ha ba thole cente
How come… babini ba jabetswe ha ba thole cente
How come… majita ba rata ho abuse-a di-chicks
How come… gangstas roam ha ba diri niks
How come… ha re tlotle bana, banna le basadi
How come… ha re tlotle o lerato le batsadi
Oh yeah oh yeah someone tell me why why
Go etsagalang…
[Outro]
I hope what I said just sunk in
If it didn't, that'stoo bad 'cause it's in already
It's gonna stay on your mind and haunt you
The rest of your life
(Go etsagalang … oh yeah, oh yeah tell me why why)
For the good
Let's work on this, make this a better place
All of us, the rest of us, the best of us
For the North West of us
