When will there be an end to this occupation, a nation of our own choosing
Imbedded in the population were waiting for retribution
Suspended in animation by paperwork so confusing
Their faulty documentations for faking a revolution
Pretended the annexation with a blemished joint-resolutions
The same old operation they’ve been using since since back with Newlands
A general pacification intended as restitution
But we want repatriation and the reinstatement of our constitution
Now we contend with the aggravation, the sentence is destitution
With the falsest of allegations implementing our execution
We suffer from mass enslavement they profit off institutions
Were put in for misbehaving, but their guiltʻs already been proven
Much more than edification were offended and disillusioned
So we focus on education and nothing less for our future
Look to our past in admiration in reverence for our kupuna
