  • 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.

    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, prison
    'cos today, yeah
    Chorus
    I am a prisoner, I am a prisoner, I am a prisoner,
    dear Lord
    I asked the policeman and said
    how much must I pay for my freedom?
    he said to me, son
    they won't build no schools anymore x2
    they won't build no hospitals
    all they'll build will be prison, prison (x4)
    Chorus
    (till fade)

    "On 18 October 2007, Lucky Dube was killed by armed robbers in Rosettenville, a Johannesburg suburb, shortly after dropping two of his seven children off at their uncle's house. Dube was driving his Chrysler 300C, which the assailants were after. Police reports suggest he was shot dead by carjackers who did not recognise him and believed that he was Nigerian. Five men were arrested in connection with the murder; three were tried and found guilty on 31 March 2009. Two of the men attempted to escape and were caught. Dube's convicted killers were sentenced to life in prison." - Wikipedia
    He was killed by the same people he was advising in this song. What an irony. Lucky Dube lives on.

    He said it loud and clear. Its happening around the world in diferent countries I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and the government systematically shut down many schools neglecting them stealing money, ment for the Education system and many more atrocities...He sang about the future in many songs and about politics, corruption in government. They said armed robbery but they wanted him gone. 🙏🏽 R.I.P❤
