Lucky Dube - Prisoner (Official Music Video)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 апр 2025
- 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)
2024 and as a 32 year old this music makes me cry every time. I’m so lucky to still have my mother. She would play this music everyday and one day she just stopped. I think it just makes her too sad 😢. RIP KING

"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.
May his soul continue to rest in peace
May he rest in peace. His music will forever live on throughout the world!
South Africans 😢😢

Growing up, I thought he was Jamaican. South Africa produced a great musician.
LUCKY DUBE MADE TIMELESS MUSIC.
THIS IS 2024 AND THIS SONG STILL HITS LIKE CRAZYYYYYY!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤
Whenever I see what's going on in my country Uganda.. immediately I run to RUclips en watch lucky dubes music.. mostly this song....2023 still we are prisoners in our own country...rip lucky 😢
Likewise here in Nigeria, are you on Instagram?
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❤
Sad reality of entrenched and systematic corruption
To think he died in the hands of common criminals! A lot of his lyrics talked about helping children grow up well to avoid them having no direction. His life ended in the hands of kids who lost their way! His message will last forever!
South Africa is screwed now sadly I miss it but I won't go back to live. Thank the ANC
As pedras de antigamente era diferenciada❤
Best of reggeaman in africa for all the Time
Thank you very much for keeping Lucky Dube's legacy. Rest in peace king of reggae!

The music is still fresh in my brain,I love lucky dubi
Now we are into 2024 and still listening....who is in with me ?
My grandfather used to play Lucky Dube & even dance 🫡🔥 RIP Dube
Anyone listening 2024 .... one of Africas best reggae artist
I love Lucky .Salvador Bahia Brazilian forever one❤
What a music legend this guy was, the lyrics of his song is an educative message on its own
he was a political mouth piece the way i see it ......at large his music was a tool to convince its audiance to understand life in the so desired direction by the authors....so much input from unknown and hidden sources brewed luck's music for political motives
Meu pai ouvia muito essas músicas quando eu era criança, acabou me apaixonei pelo reggae ❤
Faz parte da minha infância, hoje escuto com meu pai 🥰
Que linda ! Parabéns ao seu pai também pelo ótimo gosto musical … estamos juntos
Da mesma forma eu 😊
Vc tem o mesmo nome da minha filha😊

Lucky dube music is still the best in 2023_ Greetings from West Papua❤
Biggest lesson about life, Narrated in a Single Song.. Mad love to All our Gone legends.. thank you for setting a path for us through your Music. ❤️this is so inspiring
The youth of today should watch this video and listen to this sound.. So when they choose the wrong path in life you might end up the wrong place after...
I pray who ever reads this becomes successful in life
Now we are into 2024 and still listening to his music who’s with me if you still watching this ❤

Thanks to my late dad for introducing me to Mr Dube music before he passed I'm very grateful dad and I miss you ❤️❤️
is there a chance you could send it across the African Americans in America some how I think they really need it more than ever today to really understand as well as pass it to the young ones so they can survive

This Kind of Music will awaken Africans for generations. They don’t care about us. Your message will run until we all arise. RIP Comrade
Nowadays mainstream music is about drugs money and murder..What a pity to live in these times.
Always meeting the demand of the time. Lucky Dube lives on.
I have 24 years and I'm still writing my reggae songs I wish god can help me to sing like you just to bring back your soul to your lovely fun 😭😭
When he was killed, I was in South Africa. I couldn’t believe it was real-he’s the one who made me love reggae.
Je continue d'écouter ces chansons en 2025

Personally for me lucky was very underrated ,he was better than bob Marley ,Lucky's songs made more sense than any African Rastafari combined ,what was the fuzz about bob Marley ,lucky should be crowned king of rasta music
Noone can compete with Mr Lucky Dube! RIP❣️
Eu amo as músicas o reggae e meus filhos também ❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I'M From Angola love this song
This is exactly what I told my son that crime does not pay but education is the key, he left school, today he is jailed because of his wrong choice then I become a bad parent, when I say we reap what we sow.
Still in 2023 and listening to this great song from our legend . May he continue resting in peace

When lucky dube say "Crime does not pay, education is key" Hits a lot, this should be played on high volume.

Apprendre l histoire à nos enfants MERCI beaucoup 😘😘😘 Lucky Dube 😘😘😘👍👍
Am just chilling listening to slow reggae music especially from dube
This song is a great one especially for those teenagers who seem to be practicing deliquency,but it's only a few of them who find a chance to meet such songs
The best reggae of the world.
Lucky dub is smooth reggae. Why do people think he should be top twenty of reggae artists?
The reggae music is our own kind of African Philosophy that transcends the western philosophy of culture and reality
This song has a deep message for the youth
Legends never die for real RIP King of reggae
