Vangile Mtyali - Old School Days

Inside my uniform
How beautiful I looked
My hair nicely combed
Bell rings
In the assembly
Singing our chorus
Teachers with books
And their shamboks
We use to say
'Can't wait to get out of here"
Naughty kids
They said
Bang desk to get attention
and to get a new beat to sing along with
skip classes to go and smoke
to get away from that boring subject
And to stand in the winter sun
This is your future they said
Exam time
We said
They just want us to suffer, how we hate them
Some of us hated being in that place
Cause of the constant bulling and teasing
Some loved it cause they were seen as cool
it was not all hell and not all heaven
the old school days
