Narration by Koname Florah Mphahlele
INTRO
Mas
Can I talk to ya
VERSE 1
I wanna talk to blacks and whites mutually
Our neighbors across the borderline inclusively
An outcry to the ruling elite
It's time you prove indeed
Not by manifestos, but actions as to why you should lead
I'm zooming in on Zondo, with all eyes on the judiciary
Is the magistrate independent, are our right fully free
Does court of public opinion decide constitutionally
I wanna talk to law enforcers on whom our safety relies crucially
Look at how crime is brutally rising in communities
They cutting corners, while mugging robbers use knives as butcheriеs
Illegal guns with no suspects tied to thе shooting sprees
Xenophobia, not treating our kind as human beings
No value for life, truthfully
While youth with dreams question acquiring school degrees
Business suffer consequences of no lights usually
Why could it be
They wanna privatize the utility with these power cuts
The former conquerors want to disempower us
Who is captured
Who's Zuma's handlers
Who's the devils
Are Guptas lessor
The truth is altered
As presented by Naspers news anchors
Find it suit to address us when it's close to elections
A call to Action I wanna speak to yo in person
Not yo spokesperson
CHORUS
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the president, to the ministers in government
I wanna talk to the ANC, to the EFF, and all parties in parliament
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the president, to the ministers in government
I wanna talk to the ANC, to the EFF, and all parties in parliament
VERSE 2
Let's have a critical engagement like an open line talk
Be solution driven from dialog to mile walk
Let's not sweep the issues that divide us under the tile rug
The writing is on the high walls
Oh white God
Blacks riot on for right jobs
Spend lifelong in mineshafts
By force some died for decent wages
While leaders release statements from distant spaces seem to be disengaging
Investors are just profit driven, ain't it?
No concern for workers but business savings
I wanna talk to Steenhuisen
Are black people in DA agents
Why is ANC always race playing
From liberation movement, now the party oppress us
I wanna talk about the issues discussed at CODESA
Who sold out the liberation, they say probably Mandela
For ugly or worse is our country better?
Watch Malema pacify the youth and calmly connect us
Whose money protects the public protector
Against the who's who of bribery
Truthful or rightfully
Is it Uhuru finally
Where is ubuntu in divide and lead?
Some think Zulus violently
Or Sotho tribabally
Members of parliament I wanna speak to yo speaker
Lead yo leaders, engage the billionaires the Christo Wieses
Citizens in need of business visas
To self-enrich or to the best of each
I wanna talk to Bushiri, the temple priests
Where's God's work in these devil's deeds
Is there empathy in Helen Zille for what the settlers did
By what decorum does AfriForum
Judge a chanted chorus about agri-farmers a clumsy conduct
I wanna talk to the party running caucus
Why didn't Ramaphosa reveal his funding sponsors
Makes me suspect if we're being ruled by money launderers
CHORUS
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the president, to the ministers in government
I wanna talk to the ANC, to the EFF, and other parties in parliament
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the president, to the ministers in government
I wanna talk to the ANC, to the EFF, and other parties in parliament
VERSE 3
I wanna talk to the Menells and the Oppenheimers
Mobilize them to share wealth and resources with miners
I wanna talk for lost exiled man and those who sought asylums
Union organizers and those who fought in silence
I wanna talk to colluding companies, the fraud conspires
The reason the cost of life is often higher
I wanna talk to the constant liars that spread coronavirus
To the benefit of pharmaceuticals, such corrupts humans
It's not a given conversation with Johann Rubert
Is scholar students walking the talk in COSAS movement
I have questions I wanna ask these columnist
The Marxists the communists
The narcissists, the populist
Where are the black billionaire, can I talk to yo
The Dangote and the Tokyo's
To Strive as we slowly grow
We need more businesses, as rich as Cyril is
In all seriousness, I wanna speak to imperialists
Benefiting at the expense of lives from the minerals reaped
I wanna talk to the Lonmin chair
Why are mine workers not owning shares
I wanna talk to all departments including home affairs
Is IEC independent to ensure voting is fair
A song that never ends, a divided nation on Dubula
As we talk about Operation Dudula
I wanna talk to foreign organizations the pumas
A conversation on looters in connection with Zuma
Which faction will rule us
Our country remain in contestation, aluta
OUTRO
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the president, to the ministers in government
I wanna talk to the ANC, to the EFF, and other parties in parliament
