Dj Bongz ft Kgomotso
(Tell me!...)
(Sleep home tonight...)
Is it safe to be underground?
Is it safe enough to work underground (Tell me!)
Is it safe to be underground?
Is it safe enough to work underground (Tell me!)
coz my man is digging the gold, and I don't know whether he'll sleep home tonight...
Is it safe to be underground? (Be underground...)
Is it safe enough to work underground (Tell me!)
coz my man is digging the gold, and I don't know whether he'll sleep home tonight
Is it safe to be underground? (Be underground!...)
Is it safe enough to work underground (Tell me!)
coz my man is digging the gold, and I don't know whether he'll sleep home tonight
Is it safe to be underground? (be underground!...)
Is it safe enough to work underground (Tell me!)
coz my man is digging the gold, and I don't know whether he'll sleep home tonight
(be underground!... yeah!...)
(Tell me!)
Coz my man is digging the gold, and I don't know whether he'll sleep home tonight
(Sleep home tonight...)
Is it safe to be underground?
Is it safe enough to work underground (Tell me!)
coz my man is digging the gold, and I don't know whether he'll sleep home tonight
(Sleep home tonight...)
Is it safe to be underground? (be underground!...)
Is it safe enough to work underground (Tell me!)
coz my man is digging the gold, and I don't know whether he'll sleep home tonight.
The song “Underground” by DJ Bongz featuring Kgomotso is a reflection on the dangers associated with working in the mines. The lyrics revolve around the questions that come with having a loved one working in the mines, particularly when one is not sure if they will come back home safely or not. The questions posed in the lyrics reflect the anxiety and uncertainty that surrounds the experience of miners and their families.
The repetition of the lyrics "Is it safe to be underground? Is it safe enough to work underground?" highlights the underlying fear and concern about the safety of working in the mines. The fact that the lyrics are delivered in a repetitive manner creates a sense of urgency, and it is almost as if the singer is pleading for answers. The reference to "digging gold" further highlights the dangers that come with mining, particularly in South Africa where mining is a significant part of the country's economy.
