Shoot them before they Grow - Brenda Fassie

Two white men fighting one another

They’re fighting for a black man

The other one says the black man must be free

The other one says the black man must be in handcuffs

Who’s gonna win now?

‘Cause they both have power

Who’s gonna save the black man?

‘Cause he ain’t got no power

16 year old kids protesting they want freedom

Black children crying saying give us better education

Good white man say, give them good education

The bad white man say, shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Who’s gonna save them?

‘Cause they’ve got no rights

Where can they run to?

‘Cause they don’t know who to trust

All the boys and the girls are running

Running for their lives

‘Cause the man with the gun is coming, coming

To shoot them before they grow

Two white men fighting one another

They’re fighting for a black man

The other one says the black man must be free

The other one says the black man must be in handcuffs

Who’s gonna win now?

‘Cause they both have power

Who’s gonna save the black man?

‘Cause he ain’t got no power

16 year old kids protest for freedom

Black children crying saying give us better education

Good white man say give them good education

The bad white man say shoot them before they grow

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

The bad white man said shoot them before they grow

TheGood white man said give them freedom

Freedom for the black man

The boys and the girls are running

Running for their lives

‘Cause the man with the gun is coming, coming

To shoot them before they grow

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown

Shoot them before they grown
