Ransom by Kwani Experience Lyrics

[Chorus]
We living for ransom
For a hostage, we don't know
We living for ransom
For a hostage, we don't know
'Cause everything is money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way

[Verse 1: Kwela]
Chankurane, money (don't) make(s) your world go 'round
Don't take it to your head
Make your head go 'round
Simple straight forward fact
That's what most life is all about
Whether is cost of living or
Cost to bury you underground

Chankurane, money (don't) make(s) your world go 'round
Don't take it to your head, make your head go 'round
Simple straight forward fact
That's what most life is all about
Whether is cost of living or
Cost to bury you underground
Naira, metical or the pound
Rand or kwacha or the dollar
Yen or euro or the krona
Thola okwakho, ube moja
Food to eat, bed to sleep
Family to feed, places to see
Education not so free
Medication at a fee
(For ransom)

[Chorus]
We living for ransom
For a hostage we don't know
We living for ransom
For a hostage we don't know

[Wailing: Bafana]
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way

[Verse 2: Nkoto Malebye]
Ke'ng ntaba o tšhaba go ya gae
Malobane ba go bone
Le bankani ba gago dipotong
Le raloka ka ditšhelete! Tšhelete!
Ke re tsoga monna
Tsoga mosadi
O ithate
Ke re tsoga monna
Tsoga mosadi
O itlhomphe
Ke re tsoga monna
Tsoga mosadi
O ithate
Ke re tsoga monna
Tsoga mosadi
O ithate
[Chorus]
We living for ransom
For a hostage, we don't know
We living for ransom
For a hostage, we don't know

[Wailing: Bafana]
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money every step of the way
