Goodenough Mashego Open Letter to the Minister Lyrics:
open letter to the minister

dear mister minister of safety & security
last night i lost my sanity
i was attacked & my cellphone was snatched away
muthafuckas left me naked but i guess that's the way
pulled a gun threatened to shoot me if i looked in they eyes
was advised to report to the boys in blue
the same ones who take bribes & rape complainants
on second thought i changed my mind cuz i don't trust your fools
i stay a citizen i whinge cuz i pay my taxes
i'll stay a citizen forever cuz i can't afford leaving

dear mister minister please read my letter
wonder why you stay protected when you come to my township
while you walk free as a bird when around the wealthy

my reality is that i lock myself @ six daily
leave my mobile phone behind when i visit the spaza
reckon it's cheaper if they kill me & don't get shit from me
is my life worth a NOKIA & an UZZI pair of jeans?
dear minister last night we had a rape in my 'hood
a 53 year old mother was plunged infront of her kids
she tried to scream but the bastards had a pistol to scare
called your boys answer she got was cops ain't got no cars
surprise surprise you boys ain't even yet come to her rescue
maybe i should learn to shut the fuck up & give you a chance
but mister minister my problem is my niece got molested
if i don't utter no word i think i'll shoot someone dead
would've done it if they don't rape men in the cells

i'm not asking for your police's performance report
nor your cooked crime statistics
all i require is someone to answer 10111
i need someone to take my statement
'ven if that's the only thing they do
-ends-
