Kwela
(Bruce)
So you went and got your gun
And you turned and shot me dead
There's a bullet in my head
UPI REPORT: "I beg the court to have mercy now. I have young children," pleaded 21 year-old Xolile Yona, "I was an orphan. I don't want my children to grow up without a father."
"I ask the court for a last chance. This court is the guilty party in this case." (60 year-old Evelina de Bruin)
You must have been the last
See the burn marks on my vest
Life has just begun . . .
