High Violet - We Belong

Here we are one big family
With an intertwined history jolling in this cool country
We got poverty
Sometimes, no electricity
Sometimes, no running water in our taps I'm eating baked beans on salty cracks
We got unemployment rising high while your boerewors sizzles on the braai
That politician is such a chop there's another scandal about to drop

And it will go on, and on
Like the melody of this hashtag song that's why we all should move along
What am I without my brother
What are you without your mother
We're all unique we're like no other that is why
We belong we belong we belong
In this groovy country

Don't you have a brother whose like no other made by another dad and mother
You're the pillow he's the cover in a different shape and a different colour
We got taxi violence causalities
Corruption spelled with a capital C
The headlines in the paper say that land reform is on its way
We got xenophobia, farm attacks, woman gotta take their power back
Who was wrong who was right was he black was he white
We got darkies, mhlungu's and kleurling volk, Sunday Times and the Rapport
Chinese Muslims and some Jews with a couple of Jehova's too
And what about the Indians, hey one time my bru

And the list goes on, and on
Like the lyrics in this I'm staying song that's why we all should sing along
What am I without my brother
What are you without your mother
We're all unique we're like no other that is why
We belong we belong we belong
In this colourful country

Well we've got nik naks, kit kats steristumpie
Castle milkstout sold in dumpies, vetkoek, cheescurls and koeksisters
Sunshine, suntans, beaches, blisters
Droewors, biltong and zamalek
Dis nou mos lek lek lekker lekker
Potjiekos with mielie pap, chakalaka no one can beat that
From table mountain to the great big hole with eleven tongues we got immense soul
We can laugh we can all shout Shosholoza
Shosholoza
Lets all stand up and stand ingited by the rainbow nation we are united
This song is over whats left to say it's legal now you can light that jay

And we'll all go on, and on
Living in this country because there's no better place to be
What am I without my brother
What are you without your mother
We're all unique we're like no other that is why
We belong we belong we belong
We belong we belong we belong
We belong we belong we belong
We belong we belong we belong
