lyrics

In die oerwoud van blokke sement/ het ek fokkol nie sent/
maar propvol die tenk/ rob skollie rent/
cops rol die vent/ stop mol die kent/
tot bolloe stenk/ drop rollie, KLENK!/ stop pollie! SWENK!/
kom dommie denk/ brom stommie, ENK!/ skok tjommie, FRANK!!!/
Asemrowend, die maniere/ glad oordowend die skaniere/
klank oorstromend, die van bure/ skel bemorend die tyd van ure/
Dis mos nie reg nie man/ gaan nogal sleg dié kant/
rus, los die flessie dan/ wat nogal?! weg hier Pang!/
Dis nou die stank vir die dank/ mis nou die klank vir die tjank/
blus nou die brand vir die land/ niks nou die krank vir die bank/
Want jy kry wat jy gie/ kak bly jy was hier/
wat, hy?! hy pas nie/ trust my, hy kan spie/ wag jy, kyk dan hier/
Is nie daai nie man, is nie daai nie/
is die draai dié kant, plus die timing/ kan nie rhyme nie san/
van die crime die kant/ want die crime die kant/
is grimy man/ verstaan die san? naai? OK, vra die tanie dan/
Of dit so is/ op of bo is/ geslot of toe is/
gejok of true is/ befok of clueless/
gerock of glue is/ geskok of cool is/
gefok of crew is/ geflop of rumours/
getop of bo is/ gestok of tool is/
En daais die vollerende waarheid/ met die borrelende naarheid/
vir die bekommerende swaartyd/ van die stomme kind se geaarheid/
So smaak my/ hoor Jaak bly/ in so ‘n vaak vlei/
ma so praat hy/ van swaar kry/ in Chicaag jy/
Luister hom maar uit/ fluister soms maar wyd/
yster blom na tyd/ kyste kom ma, suip!/
vyste bomma kruip/ jy’s te dom, Jaak fake/
einste klong maak tape/
van flêtse kom daad uit/
van flêtse, kom maak tyd/
van flêtse tong laat slyp/
van flêtse kom Jaak spuit/
WAARHEID!

Chorus to fade_
Is daai Afrika oerwoud
Die flêtse is oer oud
Die winters is moer koud
En die jongense loer, SOUT!
