City of Walls - SOL

Uh… yeah

You lock me out, and lock yourself in

Tall walls, guard dogs, and barb-wire fence

We divided, from within

Apartheid still a part of how we live, money

Fuck you up like hard drugs

Can’t get help from the government

They strung out too, what to do

Corrupt as fuck, it’s nothing new

Born that way, you stay low

Live the next life, and get paid more

Cash system, cash pimpin'

Even God’s on the payroll

Pay more, while you stay stuck

While the politician’s ain’t rich enough

Police man is broke too

Now wonder why we in handcuffs

Rich man, poor man

Same city we live in

Skin color’s where it started at

Castle walls is where it is

This life is hard, this world is cold

So bundle up, welcome to city of walls

Walls

Walls

Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls

The city of walls

The city of walls

Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls

You lock me out, you lock yourself in

Tall walls, guard dogs and barb-wire fence

The streets are thin, the kids don’t play

This is the price you pay, growing up with barricades

True story, no glory, ghetto port from the Township

Same block Mandela lived

Same block Steve Biko lived

32, the first of three kids

Living with his Mom and step-dad

And he the bread winner for all of them

Shitty job, chump change

Just enough to not go insane

No more art, when you’re numbed in pain

You never know the name of the next Cobain

Meanwhile, they livin' large

In Cape Town on the boulevard

Expensive art, fancy cars

Don’t get robbed when you valet park

They throw their keys, with bloody paws

From on top their buildings, behind those walls

Walls

Walls

Walls

Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls

The city of walls

The city of walls

Bundle up, yup, welcome to city of walls

You lock me out, you lock yourself in

Tall walls, guard dogs and barb-wire fence

The streets are thin, the kids don’t play

This is the price you pay, growing up with barricades

Walls

Walls

Bundle up, yup, welcome to City of Walls

The city of walls

The city of walls

Bundle up, yup, welcome to City of Walls
