Heartless

Peace family,

Posted this one a while ago already but after Tumi Live Remixed it makes sense why a lot of you
want it reposted. Download the track http://www.sendspace.com/file/m5i2oi and rap along to it.

Live now
Zubz

Chorus
In night I hear them tell the coldest story ever told
Of how somehow along this road we lost our soul
And we became so heartless
How did we get so heartless?

Verse1
How did we get so
Cold hearted like them torturers in Gitmo
So intolerant we all of us expect more
Closed boarders so these horrors never get through
Have we forgot that when we needed a spot to flee to
When Apartheid displaced over half our people
We flocked there en masse they all agreed to
Adopt us; as Africans all were equal
Now we laugh at their plight making currency jokes
And we act like it’s right to blame hungry folks
For what happened like “They like living under these hopeless conditions!”
Revise for position
For real!

Chorus

Verse 2
Question:
How did we get this disconnected
Till disrespect was allow to grow
Zimbabweans depicted as rhodent pests
Infected. Shouldn’t be allowed to roam
“They easily spread mad diseases
Contaminate us all; we’re sure gonna die!”
When will we see that Poverty is
Why they drink the water that’s not purified
I mean after The Attacks that we’ve been through
I’ve seen Black attacking Black; where’s Ubuntu?
It seems SADC has retracted back into
A dream had in denial while we sleep into the night

Bridge

Listen.
And politicians just talk and talk and talk and talk
Meanwhile there’re more coffins of
Children dying in need of food
Media lie to me and you
Humans used as bargaining chips
How low must Zimbabweans get
And who is the real enemy?
I sure don’t know

Verse 3
And I don’t care who’s the Bad Guy
I think of those who lived there through the sad life
Knowing that ain’t noone tried to do what was right
To see a people through that black night
It’s heartless

Chorus

Outro
In the meantime, politicians keep on politickin’. And when all is said and done, so much more is said than done. You? You continue to be so heartless. When will you stop being heartless?
