[Look at Borrowdale Brooke then look at Matapi flats – Mbare.
If you want to see the truth of our situation, cross the train tracks
Politics, religion, scare tactics
Mastering causing panic just to control the masses]
“Tarisa Brooke, hona Matapi
If you want to see the proof crossa njanji
Politics, religion, mascare tactics
Skiri yekukonzera panic zvitire controlla mamasses”
