[Intro]
G
[Verse]
"GBoy" is a nation with fire in its soul
GTired of living in one stinking hole
Townships of Dcardboard, paper and tin
GNothing to lose but to win
[Chorus]
GTell me
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
How Dlong Mayibuye Africa
How Glong Mayibuye Africa
[Verse]
"GBoy" feeds his family and does what he's told
GDigging for diamonds, mining for gold
DEmptying garbage, cleaning the street
GNothing to wear on his feet
[Chorus]
GTell me
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
How Dlong Mayibuye Africa
How Glong Mayibuye Africa
[Verse]
GTwo weeks a year he goes home to his wife
GPlanting his seed, continuing life
DBuilding the numbers, filling the line
GIt's only a matter of time
[Chorus]
GTell me
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
How Dlong Mayibuye Africa
How Glong Mayibuye Africa
[Verse]
GWhen man is denied a piece of his land
GViolence comes by unspoken command
DOne piece of land to nurture and farm
GOne piece of land for a home
[Chorus]
GTell me
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
How Dlong Mayibuye Africa
How Glong Mayibuye Africa
[Verse]
"GBoy" is just one of a thousand the same
"GBoy" is a thousand of thousands again
Standing in Dline with a hand in each hand
GHe circles the whole of his land
[Chorus]
GTell me
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
How Dlong Mayibuye Africa
How Glong Mayibuye Africa
[Verse]
"GBoy" is a nation with fire in its soul
GTired of living in one stinking hole
Townships of Dcardboard, paper and tin
GNothing to lose but to win
[Chorus]
GTell me
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
GHow long Mayibuye Africa
How Dlong Mayibuye Africa
How Glong Mayibuye Africa
