Mr. President

[Verse 1]
Mr president, this is for the people who you’re tryna fool
This is for the people so it’s time to school
This is for the cronies who admire you: you wanna see a chicken run? I’ll drown you in your firepool
Umshini wam’ umshini wam’
Khawuleth’ umshini wam umshini wam’
Have you heard the rumours?
They say Zuma’s a criminal, criminal
Subliminal messaging
The anger in the people is setting in
The crowd is menacing
The cries are deafening
Zuma must go, the shadows are lengthening
Fuck the police, yo we run on adrenalin
You undermine women undervalue the feminine
We’re marching like regiments, screaming “down with decadence!”
Caught up in a spiral of underdevelopment
It’s about time you got a taste of your own medicine

[Chorus]
Mr president, can you hear the people on the streets?
See the hunger, the anger now they’re praying for your defeat
Marikana, Nkandla and spy tapes is deceit
No surrender no retreat, no surrender no retreat!
I repeat!
I can see the people on the streets
Calling for your head calling for your defeat
Marikana, Nkandla and Arms Deal is deceit
And we won’t retreat, no we won’t retreat!

[Verse 2]
Mr president, can you see the people on the streets?
Bathi “phansi ngo-Zuma” to the rhythm of the beat
They say: “where do you run when the president’s a thief?”
They say: “where do you go when the criminal’s police?”
You sold out the poor like you sold out Cosatu
Then you double-crossed Vavi when he tried to out you
How many more stories are there about you?
Even the Guptas’ airplane couldn’t ground you
E-tolls, Marikana, load shedding
700 charges and you still don’t get it
You killed our ANC, the struggle’s been beheaded
And just how just many friends’ daughters have you bedded?
Fooled me once but you can’t fool Thuli
We’re headed to the streets the mood so unruly
Yeah, they say power corrupts
But absolute power corrupts absolutely

[Chorus] (X2)

[Outro]
This is a remix of the song done by El General
They say it sparked the Tunisian revolution that brought Ben Ali down
I represent the real hip-hop
Talk about social change, stand up
Meet me at the Union Buildings
Mr Zuma, your time is up
