Artist/Band: Lucky Dube
Lyrics for Song: My Brother, My Enemy
Lyrics for Album: Trinity [1995]



Your smiling cannot fool me no more



Your sweet talking cannot fool me no more



'Cause I know about your cheating



'Cause I know about you back biting



And I don't know what you know



And I have never been where you've been



And I certainly don't believe in what you believe in



And I don't do what you do



I'm a living witness, now I know that



Not every black man is my brother



Not every white man is my enemy



I've got no place in your world



And I've never been where you've been



And I don't know what you know



And I have never been where you've been



And I certainly don't believe in what you believe in



And I don't do what you do



I'm a living witness, now I know that



Not every black man is my brother



Not every white man is my enemy



I've got no place in your world



And I've never been where you've been



Not every black man is my brother



Not every white man is my enemy



I've got no place in your world



And I've never been where you've been



Not every black man is my brother



Not every white man is my enemy



I've got no place in your world



And I've never been where you've been

My Brother, My Enemy

Lucky Dube's 1995 track 'My Brother, My Enemy' stands as a defining anthem of South African township rap, addressing the complex dynamics of family conflict and gang violence. Recorded for the album Trinity, the song reflects the harsh realities of life in the townships during the post-apartheid era. Dube's delivery blends traditional township rhythms with a gritty, narrative style that has influenced generations of artists in the genre. The recording captures the tension between loyalty and betrayal, resonating deeply with audiences who witnessed the social upheavals of the time. It remains a staple in the catalogue of South African hip-hop, illustrating how music served as both a document and a voice for marginalized communities.
