Now Nelson Mandela has been in prison for a very long time
And as far as I can see, he ain't committed no crime
What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
Living in a prison, it ain't much fun
Most of the day you don't see the sun
They lock you in your cell as night-time come
You have to ask the officers before you go to the john
Some homosexual wan' run you down
Get you on your own and suck out your tongue
You worry 'bout your children and your woman
Are they well? Are they getting a good education?
You wonder if your woman is holding on strong
Can she stand the pressure for so long?
Is she faithful or is she giving you bun?
In Jamaica that means has she got another man?
But somehow that nah worry Nelson
'Cause him have Winnie Mandela and she is a good one
A carry on the struggle for liberation
One hundred percent behind her husband
You can't complain if you done something wrong
But it's not very nice if you're a innocent man
All he wants is for Black man
Not to be treated like animals but like human, man, man, man, man
What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
As far as I can see, he ain't done nothing wrong
He's not a murderer, he didn't kill no one
He's not there for tax evasion
He didn't rob a lot of gold bullion
He never rape a defenseless woman
He hasn't carried out an assassination
He's not a molester of little children
He wasn't selling heroin or opium
They call you political prisoner
If you disagree with a dictator
They say he's a terrorist leader
Just because he won't lie down and surrender
We all know who the real terrorizer
Who is robbing all the gold and all the silver
It shouldn't be Mandela who is a prisoner
It should be Botha and all of his ancestors
What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Help me sing my song
Let him go
Hey, Botha, let him go
Come, come, come right now
You better let him go
Come now, come now, let him go
Hey, Botha, let him go
Come, come, come right now
You better let him go
Come now
What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
It's about time that he had his freedom
Time soon come when apartheid done
Right is right and wrong is wrong
Animal a animal and human a human
Dem not even say, "Come out of the land"
They just want a say in the destination
They want one vote for everyone
Then you never know, we might just get along
What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
Why has he been in prison so long?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he done?
What's he done? What's he done? What's he
