letra de southern cities - de joe quarcoo

hook
da da da li lada da da

verse 1 (mandisa mteshana)
here it is
alas we see a bit clearly
it’s here with us
and it’s going nowhere now
informality, struggle for inclusiveness
the voice of ordinariness
shaping our cities

chorus 2x
southern city
balanced city
there’s inclusivity
mixed uses

healthy city
balanced city
there’s inclusivity
mixed uses

hook
da da da li lada da da
verse 2 (de joe quarcoo)
a force so strong
it cannot be stopped, now
the everyday lives of millions of peoplе
characterized by shacks
informal settlеments
oh! informal economy
emergence, insurgence
oh slums everywhere
slum urbanism!

repeat hook & chorus 2x

vamp
african cities
balanced cities

quote narration
hend: we strive for decency, respect for human lives, dignity, and well-being
bronwin: peripheral urbanism does not mean an absence of the state or planning
but rather a process in which citizens and governments interact in complex ways
kadria: incorporating informality into official logics opens up new perspectives of understanding the city
the state also practices informality, we know

rap (romeo dipura)
our cities are our futures, the truth is, they elude us
they treat us like we’re losers and polluters of the futures
in shona:
mapumba, it’s hard living here; they’ve made the city their own
de joe, it’s hard being here; they’ve made the city their own

arabic: bread, freedom, social justice

hook
da da da li lala la la

chorus 2x
southern city
balanced city
there’s inclusivity
mixed uses

healthy city
balanced city
there’s inclusivity
mixed uses
