We are delighted to have you
Welcome to the city of diamonds and pearls Now a city of Coca Cola, MacDonald's and hurls Africa's Hollywood, New York and Chinatown Go through all seasons through just one town and you didn't believe trees do grow in concrete jungles? Hillbrow's spring cleaning, her washing dangles Over all her building balconies. Welcome to Jo'burg, heck welcome to thee South Africa A beautiful Rainbow Nation, a role model to all Africa. Our sun shines brightly, yet she's lost in the shade of Jozi's skyscrappers. Our pot of gold found, not hidden behind some rainbow and certainly not spent by those who died to dig it. Our gold lies here we claim we own it Our gold lied to us yet we'll DIGnify it. Welcome to Gauteng, the miniature district of aspirations. Were tycoons give the night its frequency, with their oil pumping factories that feed the ozone layer yet force food out of a near-famine ridden baby's mouth to put in their greedy pockets. It doesn't have to make sense for you to understand it Yet we live with it so we 'get' that; it's easy to throw away rice over Woolworths packaged mince meat; While our child's packaging lacks the mince or the meat to cover his bones Welcome all, to our salvation and diversity Welcome to our Hell bro'! Hillbrow. Our city that does sleep, But suffers drastic insomia. Our night club, Lucifer our DJ and everyone humming the blues No harmonica just blue synchronised sounds of betrayal, loyalties and royalties We gladly welcome all, our brochures lied our weather's not that great; so what? you've been had... and We are always glad to have you! I dare not say Enjoy your stay! *** I hate the title so I was hoping you guys might help me with one.
