Lucas Mangope is a song in Tswana
Intro (Lucas Mangope)
They didn't take over control, they looted control.
There was a lot of criminal looting in Mmabatho.
And the South African government looted political power.
Chorus
Ke tswa Bophuthatswana call me Lucas Mangope. I'm like a king ya batswana ke Kgosi Mangope. Building a legacy okare ke Lucas Mangope. I am a chief a minister ke Kgosi Mangope. King of the streets ko lefika ke Lucas Mangope. I wanna be president just like ke Kgosi Mangope. I am a leader ke tshwana le Lucas Mangope. Ke aga lefatshe le batho ke Kgosi Mangope.
Verse 1
UCDP Kgotleng. Rest in peace ko mabitleng. Ke bitsa di kgosi tsa Mahikeng. We shall meet ko lotlamoreng.
Ba batla go rekisa sengwe le sengwe. Ba batla gore bona re sena sepe. O agile embassy le mega city. O tlogetse legacy ka Sun city.
O dirile tsela ya Mandela Drive. Ke tsene sekolo ko Mmabatho High. O tlisitse Mmabana. Mmabatho Palms. Mmabatho airport. Mmabatho SAPS.
I'm in the capital Mmabatho stadium. Ntwana yadi Unit I'm in the area. I was outside grinding for the whole day. Mo Mmabatho Unit 14. This is the song to recover the city. More recreation and parks in the city. The government ain't got no love for the city. Starting today I go hard for city.
Chorus
Ke tswa Bophuthatswana call me Lucas Mangope. I'm like a king ya batswana ke Kgosi Mangope. Building a legacy okare ke Lucas Mangope. I am a chief a minister ke Kgosi Mangope. King of the streets ko lefika ke Lucas Mangope. I wanna be president just like ke Kgosi Mangope. I am a leader ke tshwana le Lucas Mangope. Ke aga lefatshe le batho ke Kgosi Mangope.
Verse 2
Reporting live from Mmabatho. Motswako was born here ngwana batho. Re ithatela mmino wa Setswana. Fellow comrades bare khabata. It's a revolution. This is evolution. I have a solution. Stop with the pollution. Do a contribution. Not a devolution. Be a resolution. BOP TV ne le relevant. BRS nele residence. Thato Molosankwe got evidence. Mangope was supposed to be the President.
Leader of the new school. I am in a good mood. I'm from a small town. But I'm making big moves. Rewrite history I'm coming with the new rules.

Wena o Popo Molefe nna ke Lucas Mangope. Kgosi Manyane o kopane Credo. Ngaka Matwetwe ke motho wadi dipheko.
I'm in the circle of winners. I was also born Zeerust. Ke dula ko Ngaka Modiri Molema. Ngwana bokone bophirima Ema. One more time for the heros. Two more times for the people. I study like bana ba unibo. All I ever wanted was freedom.
Chorus
Ke tswa Bophuthatswana call me Lucas Mangope. I'm like a king ya batswana ke Kgosi Mangope. Building a legacy okare ke Lucas Mangope. I am a chief a minister ke Kgosi Mangope. King of the streets ko lefika ke Lucas Mangope. I wanna be president just like ke Kgosi Mangope. I am a leader ke tshwana le Lucas Mangope. Ke aga lefatshe le batho ke Kgosi Mangope.
