Many African children

Living in a concrete situation

African children

Living in a concrete situation

African children

I wonder do they know where you＇re coming from

African children

Down there yes in a concrete situation

African children

I wonder do they know where you＇re coming from

The whole of the nation

Living in these tenements

Crying and applying to their council

For assistance every day

Now that their tribulation so sad

Now that their environment so bad

High rise concrete

No back yard for their children to play

African children

Living in a concrete situation

African children

I wonder do they know where you＇re coming from

African children

Living in a concrete situation

African children

Wonder do they know where you＇re coming from

All of the nation are living in these tenements

Precast stonewall concrete cubicals

Their rent increases each and every other day

Structural repairs are assessed yet not done

Lift out of action on the twenty-seventh floor

And when they work they smell

African children

Living in a concrete situation

African children

I wonder do they know where you＇re coming from

African children

Living in a concrete situation

African children

I wonder do they know where you＇re coming from

African children

Down there down there in a concrete situation

African children

Wonder do they know where you＇re coming from

Where you＇re coming from

African children

Where you＇re coming from

African children

African children

Sometimes wanting to party late into the night

And when they＇re out of sight

The neighbours＇ complaining again

And it＇s a place where

You don＇t even know your neighbour＇s name

It＇s a ghetto in the sky

African children
