Mama

[Intro]
Tata molo kunjani? uMakhulu ufuna utheta nawe
Luthando kunjani mntanam? Bendikhu check-a nje
Qina mntanam unyamezele kuba mnyama xakuzawlunga
Umthandazo Luthando, Umthandazo ngu ndoqo
(Ngeny’ imini, oh, sizo poppa ye mama)

[Verse 1]
Ayy
Yebathi imali nguSatana kodw’ihlel ezPokothweni
You would see a different view if ubuhlal’ etyotyombeni
A one room house for a family of five
It’s my life and now I’m forced to survive
Do what I can to make means to my ends
It’s true what they say, when it rains it pours
Sikwi meko ezifanayo but it’s not by choice
So I hope xaku netha next time kuneth’ imali
Ikati ilel’eziko
UBhut’ ukhedamile
Usis’ubelekile
Ekse i-tyma idadamile
Mam’ondizalayo yen’ udad’ematyaleni
She’s been doing all she can okuba mand’gqibe eskolweni
Philela la-feeling yoku zala kuzolula
Yaz’intliziyo zaba zali thina bafethu s’yazophula
Mama ndiyak’thembis’ ezonyembezi ndzosula
Isdima sase khaya ngenyi mini sizobuya

[Chorus]
Ngenyimini, ngenyimini
Oh sizo poppa yeMama
Ngenyimini, ngenyimini
Oh sizo poppa yeMama

[Verse 2]
Mam’ uzamile, us’fundisile
Utata engekho owam' umam’uskhulisile
Usebenzile, usiqinisile
Without a father figure kodw’indlel us’bonisile
Umama ekhona zange s’lale singatyanga
Es’vus’ ebsuku xas’lele singathandazanga
Bendsithi ndzokubeleka kuse kud’engqinibeni
Mam’gcina ndicel’uxolo ngob’andiyazi ipotyekephi
Intanga zam z’thengimoto, z’thengizindlu doing big things
Yintsokol’ eGautini nditshintshi ndawo nje nge street kid
I hustle hard for my mama and my two kids
No time to fuck around, I got a family to feed
Unom’tetsele was’shiya
No’Nico akad’aphile
Ndithandazela nje ubhut’wam ngoba lomthwal’ uyandisinda
Ded’ubumnyama kuvel’ukhanya zivulekil’ indlela zam'
Ebunzimeni ukhon' uMvuso thixo ndithethelele nam'
Sebenzele nje uMam’mam

[Refrain]
Mama ah hah (Oh yeah)
Ye Mama

[Chorus]
Ngenyimini, ngenyimini
Oh sizo poppa yeMama
Ngenyimini, ngenyimini
Oh sizo poppa yeMama
