letra de beyond the 16th parallel - black rhyme organisation to help equal rights

bernie grant:
the 16th parallel is a line drawn by whites through angola and the racists say that blacks can’t cross that line. the south africans say that the s.w.a.p.o. freedom fighters can’t cross that line

london rhyme syndicate:
the mother land home of the blackman
taken away, enslaved, governed by a whiteman
without right, stole control, the dutch and english fight
incite, k!lling weak brothers who couldn’t read nor write
a breach of peace, won’t teach, banned freedom of speech preach apartheid, segregation, when the h-ll will it cease exploiting my brothers through colour, racist bluffer
botha in a bodybag, word to the mother

overlord x:
one, two..now let me get rid of my fumes
fires build the earthquake move you
black little children like to grow and you know
with their parents but it’s not so and yo…
time limits for my people behind bars
here’s the verdict: the government’s a r-t-rd
state of emergency hold your fire
violence is not yet a d..d..desire

london posse:
in a south africa whole heap a shegries a gwan
dey na wan’ no black make a trade union
dem a blow up offices and dem a k!ll off blackman
we affe get militant uprise and stand strong
so listen lyrics straight from the posse that we all made c.o.s.a.t.u. say what they need is a living wage now!
we have to fight for that, build on the black
so run go record shop and buy this track
cookie crew:
thatcher says sanctions won’t help our black people
the people she wants to help most i don’t think so
we’ll fight for the freedom in the land of our birth
cos’ our people will suffer so prepare for the worst
we want sanctions now! you’re buying it, you’re wearing it, playing sports and sun city we ain’t doing it
civilized people got to be sad
the british won’t sanction but they’ll wish they had

freshski:
here’s a place governed by a certain set of rules
with so much wealth and a power plan which pulls
a white minority with authority
have a stronghold where the black majority
are compelled by law to endure
in a land they rightfully own
how do you stand when subjected to an unclean regime
which means your skin…tone determines
your work, health and home

demon boyz:
murdering children for throwing stones
the police terrorise our brothers homes
now watch me sit down ‘pon top of the riddim
saying that absurd
and in the third world mike jay will be heard
well, it’s me, demon d, the mc thriller and chiller
i’m not a black k!ller like botha
who the h-ll voted, what’s the motive
for k!lling south african children
bernie grant:
the 16th parallel applies in angola, it applies in namibia and in south africa, but the parallel also applies in britain when while racists say that black people, especially the youth, can only go so far and no further

gatecrash:
nelson mandela, a fellow black brother
a rot ina jail ina south africa
fighting for freedom but still not free
twenty six years separated from his family
to liberate, to educate, he left the country for support
jailed for leaving without a passport
boy…this wicked system surely must fall
when mandela is free, detainees and all

icepick:
the world at large has a game plan
protection of their investments means they seem to play blindman!
turning their backs when they know the facts on this
fooled by botha who draws a scene of a picturesque
racially improving national party
the cameras never show the thousands of bodies
that perish pursuing the protest against
the paleface who tries to displace the black race

she rockers:
ebony hear your name, i feel your pain
child plucked from the bosom
and detainees in chains
from school to a tomb
called a cell where they dwell
tortured and k!lled in a living h-ll
the children die
the mothers cry
our hearts are bleeding and asking why
from birth to death caught in a man trap
not born proud to be black
but born to stay back
junior san:
banana’s and grapes, with the name of cape
if you buy these, i’m asking you to stop
the money that you spend on south african fruit
you’re really buying mr. botha’s crop
so that’s the money for guns, botha’s delight
loss of black blood, loss of black life
if my brothers see fit to make a sacrifice
blood’s thicker than water, so i don’t think twice

mc mell’o:
brothers and sisters depressed and oppressed holds
a noose around your neck a noose around their soul
they can’t vote and i quote that is far from dope
yet they cope, and the fire in their hearts breeds hope
injustice is dealt to the child and the mother
dark skinned brother, another they try to smother
reality ruled by low morality
minority rule the majority. inequality

standing ovation:
eaten away every day, from the inside
a brother dies cause his pride was denied
by a racist regime for a white man it was heaven
but for a black man nearer armageddon
so beyond the sixteenth parallel is where we venture
though people may stop us say who sent ya
pursue, renew a long lost sort of freedom
these are the words of a brother movement
so heed them

trouble ‘n’ bass:
give one man a uniform, gun by his side
make him some promises, strangle his pride
in his people, their right to be equal
tell him he’s better than those who would fight
for what he’s achieved; to stand by a white man
under a flag that would murder his colour
and pay him to do so like judas and others
but when innocents die, what they promised was lies

hijack:
steve biko black hero in the hall of fame
freedom fighter for those oppressed, k!lled by the oppressor
a spirit of africa, his belief was not to k!ll another
but to murder the idea one man’s superior
the brothers on ghettos of soweto they stand alone
hypocritical governors, they sit upon their throne
we expose this insanity, apartheid’s on trial
for crimes against humanity

bernie grant:
as black people we must smash the 16th parallel, as people we must unite and smash the racist south african government and free south africa. a.n.c. and s.w.a.p.o. will win. amandla!
