The Bully
Lucky Dube · Other Side [2004]
If you have no insurance, get out of his sight
He's a bully from Soweto
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his face
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his nose
He kills for fun, he's one of those people
We were warned about so many years ago
His day's gonna come, every dog has his day
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
If you're on the right side of the law
Don't be where he is
He is wanted dead or alive
He kills for fun, stay out of his way
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his face
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his nose
He's a bully from Soweto, in his world dog eat dog
That is how we know his day is gonna come
Every dog has his day
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
