Artist/Band: Lucky Dube
Lyrics for Song: Group Areas Act
Lyrics for Album: House Of Exile [1992]



If I'm dreaming don't wake me up



If it's a lie don't tell me the truth



'Cause what the truth will do



It's gonna hurt my heart



Being in the darkness for so long now



Mr. President, did I hear you well?



Last night on TV you said



The group areas act is going



Apartheid is going



The group areas act is going



Apartheid is going



Ina me eye me sight the future so bright



I mean I my eyes



I see the future so bright



When the blackie manna coming together



With the whitey manna, with the whitey manna



With the whitey manna



Whitey manna coming together with the Blackman



If I'm dreaming



Gazing at my crystal ball I see the future so bright



The fighting's gonna stop now



We'll forgive and forget I know Mr. President



You can't please everyone but everybody liked it



When you said



Group areas act is going



Apartheid is going



Group areas act is going



Apartheid is going



If I'm dreaming



If I'm dreaming



If I'm dreaming



...


Group Areas Act

Lucky Dube's 1992 track 'Group Areas Act' stands as a powerful anthem within the South African township jazz and amapiano genres. Released on the seminal album House Of Exile, the recording captures the socio-political tensions of the era through Dube's distinctive vocal delivery and melodic instrumentation. The song addresses the apartheid-era legislation that segregated communities, using music to challenge systemic injustice and foster unity. As a cornerstone of Dube's early discography, it helped define the sound of the 1990s resistance movement and remains a significant cultural touchstone in the region's musical history.
