Lyrics Johannesburgo (Live) - Gil Scott-Heron
Hey!
Said
what's
the
word?
Tell
me,
brother,
have
you
heard?
From
Johannesburg?
Tell
me,
what's
the
word
now?
Sister,
woman,
have
you
heard?
From
Johannesburg?
They
tell
me
that
our
brothers
over
there
are
defying
the
Man
And
we
don't
know
for
sure
because
the
news
we
get
is
unreliable,
man
Yes,
I,
I
hate
it
when
the
blood
start
flowing
But
I'm
glad
to
see
resistance
growing
Somebody
tell
me
what's
the
word?
Tell
me,
brother,
have
you
heard?
About
Johannesburg?
Now
what's
the
word?
Tell
me,
woman,
have
you
heard?
About
Johannesburg?
They
tell
me
that
our
brothers
over
there
Refuse
to
work
in
the
mines
They
may
not
get
the
news,
but
they
need
to
know
We're
on
their
side
Yeah,
now
sometimes
distance
bring
misunderstanding
But
deep
in
my
heart,
I'm
demanding
Somebody
tell
me
what's
the
word?
Tell
me,
brother,
have
you
heard?
About
Johannesburg?
I
know
there's
something
happening
Tell
me
what's
the
word?
Sister,
woman,
have
you
heard?
About
Johannesburg?
And
I
know
that
they're
struggling
over
there
That
ain't
gonna
free
me
Yeah,
but
we've
all
got
to
be
struggling
And
if
we
wanna
be
free
Somebody,
hey
They
tell
me
that
our
brothers
over
there
Refuse
to
work
in
the
mines
They
may
not
get
the
news,
but
they
need
to
know
We're
on
their
side
Yes,
I,
I
hate
it
when
the
blood
start
flowing
But
I'm
glad
to
see
resistance
growing
Somebody
tell
me
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
So
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
So
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
So
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
So
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
So
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
So
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
Somebody
tell
me
what's
happening
In
Johannesburg
The
Valley
is
like
Johannesburg
LA
is
like
Johannesburg
Freedom
ain't
nothing
but
a
word,
ain't
nothing
Said
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
Said
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
Said
what's
the
word?
(Johannesburg)
Somebody
tell
me
what's
happening
In
Johannesburg
You
know
it's
like
Johannesburg
LA
like
Johannesburg
Freedom
ain't
nothing
but
a
word,
ain't
nothing
Freedom
ain't
nothing
but
a
word,
ain't
nothing
So
let
me
see
your
I.D
Let
me
see
your
I.D
Let
me
see
your
I.D
It
could
be
you
instead
of
me
Johannesburg,
now
Freedom
ain't
nothing
but
a
word,
ain't
nothing
Freedom
ain't
nothing
but
a
word,
ain't
nothing
Freedom
ain't
nothing
but
a
word,
ain't
nothing
Johannesburg
Tell
me
about
Johannesburg?
