We are not going to hell
We are not going to hell
Tell the preacher man
To be upright with his words
Cos we are not the reason
Why tomorrow looks red
We did not create the monster on the hills
Either did we set the fire with the steel birds
We never made up the suffering we face
Neither did we want a troublesome land
For too long we voted for
Peace love prosperity progress and care
We were innocent of the lies from strange men
Men whose action are far from their words
Days after days our life's remain unchanged
Our stories remains the same
Despite how much good we are to the law
So tell the preacher man
To say the truth to power cos
We are not going to hell
We are the ones beaten
Black and blue
We are the victims of lies
So please when you preach
Tell God how much we suffer cos
There's no better hell
Than the ghetto life's in the third world
So please tell the preacher man
that when we die
We are not going to hell
We are not going to hell
There must be a heaven
For an African child
Whose life on earth bleeds with pains
Just for a mere basic survival
Yes there must be a paradise
For the innocent whose life were
Wasted just for greed and hatred
There must be a better rest for the brave
Whose life was cut short by evil
So tell the preacher man that
There is no hell for an African child
Cos we are already existing in one
We are already burning on earth
We've lost our valuable to hunters
Lost our dignity to the west
Left our spirituality to an idol
We are naked to the world
Despite our input to nature
Our troubles never change
And there is no better hell
we can burn no more
So tell the preacher man
To be upright with his words
Cos after this longs years of slavery
After this longs time of suffering
After facing the worlds isolation
Sorry mr preacher man
Their must a heaven
for an African child cos
We are not going to hell
We are the ones beaten
Black and blue
We are the victims of lies
So please when you preach
Tell God how much we suffer cos
There's no better hell
Than the ghetto life's in the third world
So please tell the preacher man
that when we die
We are not going to hell
