Many African children,
  Living in a concrete situation
  African children
  Living in a concrete situation
  African children
  I wonder do they know where you're coming from
  African children
  Down there yes in a concrete situation
  African children
  I wonder do they know where you're coming from
  The whole of the nation
  Living in these tenements,
  Crying and applying to their council
  For assistance every day
  Now that their tribulation so sad
  Now that their environment so bad
  High rise concrete
  No back yard for their children to play
  African children
  I wonder do they know where you're coming from,
  African children
  In a concrete situation
  African children
  Wonder do they know where you're coming from
  All of the nation are living in these tenements
  Precast stonewall concrete cubicals
  Their rent increases each and every other day
  Structural repairs are assessed yet not done
  Lift out of action on the twenty-seventh floor
  And when they work they smell
  African children
  Living in a concrete situation
  African children
  I wonder do they know where you're coming from
  African children
  Living in a concrete situation
  African children
  I wonder do they know where you're coming from
  African children
  Down there down there in a concrete situation
  African children
  Wonder do they know where you're coming from
  Where you're coming from
  African children
  REPEAT
  
  Sometimes wanting to party late into the night
  And when they're out of sight
  The neighbours' complaining again
  And its a place where
  You don't even know your neighbour's name
  It's a ghetto in the sky
