RUN-DMC - Sun City

[Artists United Against Apartheid]

We're rockers and rappers united and strong
We're here to talk about South Africa we don't like what's going on
It's time for some justice it's time for the truth
We've realized there's only one thing we can do
We got to say "I ain't gonna play Sun City"

Relocation to phony homelands
Separation of families I can't understand
23 million can't vote 'cause they're black
We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back
I wanna say "I ain't gonna play Sun City"

Our government tells us we're doing all we can
Constructive Engagement is Ronald Reagan's plan
Meanwhile people are dying and giving up hope
This quiet diplomacy ain't nothing but a joke
I'm gonna say "I ain't gonna play Sun City"

It's time to accept our responsibility
Freedom is a privilege nobody rides for free
Look around the world baby it cannot be denied
Somebody tell me why are we always on the wrong side
I ain't gonna play Sun City

Boputhuswana is far away
But we know it's in South Africa no matter what they say
You can't buy me I don't care what you pay
Don't ask me, Sun City because I ain't gonna play
I ain't gonna play Sun City

Relocation to phony homelands
Separation of families I can't understand
23 million can't vote 'cause they're black
We're stabbing our brothers and sisters in the back
We're gonna say "I ain't gonna play Sun City"
