About

This song pay tribute to South African youth who, in 1976 bravely took to the streets and overturned the long held notion within the liberation movement that the working class was the essential force in challenging the apartheid regime.

76 Lyrics

[Verse: Tumi]
It was seventy-six, the street blew in ebony mist
I'm treading it swift
And running past where Hector got hit
Bullets rang, several kids ran
Better not flinch, I catch a glimpse
Of this bastard running past us with a gas mask
Chucking teargas cans, that hit you like anthrax I…
Carry a brick load of black wrath in my stance
Hit him with a slab he drops, his rifle and flashlight
Walk towards him he's bleeding
My face, hardens grab his gun
As the crowd overlooking yells, take it from him
The place is humming
This mother- is gonna pay for something
For chasing and gunning
And making martyrs out of young'uns
We stare for a while with murder in our eyes
If he's never seen it before
Then he heard in our cries I…
Drift to a time, when we was in a line
My only dad was a prison
Visit a bird caged in its prime
Pain ancient as time like cells
Aimed to just find my soul
Waiting to find mercy
Wait, but am I worthy
Hate can devour earthly
Based in divine verbs we
Chased to define words we
Supposed to be
'Cause the last days are close to we
Eyes wide close to see
Pass the smoke scenery
I drift back to see him bleed
Cock the rifle, shot him to silence his misery
Crowd dispersed after the gun, powder burst
Life escapes him
I'm well alive but I still
Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst, hmmm!
(Ayo, I still got it worst)

[Chorus: Pebbles]
Seventy-six was not a very good year
We were so caught up, with fear
But I still got it worst, I still got it worst
I still got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Ooh, got it worst, got it worst
Hmm, got it worst, got it worst
Still got it worst, got it worst
Hmm, got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst
Ooh, still got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst
Oh I...

Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Ooh, I still got it worst, got it worst

Seventy-six was not a very good year
We were so caught up, with fear
But I still got it worst, I still got it worst
I still got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst, got it worst
Ooh, got it worst, got it worst
Hmm, got it worst, got it worst
Still got it worst, got it worst
Hmm, got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst, got it worst
Got it worst
I...
