Lucky Dube - Prisoner (Official Music Video) — S1 E1

2022-07-01

If 'Slave' changed Lucky Dube's life, 'Prisoner' changed the South African recording industry. In five days, the album sold no less than 100 000 copies and another 120 000 copies in the next three weeks. Ironically, in the week of its release, eight of South Africa's longest serving political prisoners were released from jail, a major step in South Africa's slow road to democracy. As so may times before, Lucky had unintentionally tapped into the national spirit of freedom-hungry South Africans. __________ Listen to Lucky Dube: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B0010SPPCO/lucky-dube Apple Music - https://music.apple.com/za/artist/lucky-dube/5352135 Deezer - https://www.deezer.com/en/artist/65834 iTunes - https://music.apple.com/za/artist/lucky-dube/5352135 SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/lucky-dube-official Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/308gQ5eCBIiSAHmi9tqlJ6 Tidal - https://tidal.com/browse/artist/18651 YouTube Music - https://music.youtube.com/channel/UC95Aux-yTr5KxOk5G0ELpxA Follow Lucky Dube: Twitter: https://twitter.com/official_dube Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucky_dube_official/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LuckyDubeLegacy Follow Gallo Music: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GalloMusicSA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gallomusicsa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gallomusicsa #LuckyDube #Prisoner #Reggae #SouthAfricanMusic #Africa #GalloRecordCompany #SouthAfricanReggae #AfricanReggae #LuckyDubeSongs #LuckyDubemusic @OfficialLuckyDube ​@GalloMusicSA _______ Lyrics: Somebody told me about it When I was still a little boy he said to me, crime does not pay he said to me, education is the key, yeah as a little boy I thought I knew what I was doing, yeah man but today here I am in jail Chorus I'm a prisoner, I am a prisoner, I am a prisoner I looked all around me but to see nothing but four grey walls staring at me the policeman said to me, son they won't build no schools anymore x3 all they'll build will be prison, pri
