Phakamisa

[Chorus]
Look, I haven’t been home in so long, it’s affectin my patience
Look to the sky for a minute, wanna float away
Umhlaba’s only good to you if you strong through the pressure
Funda ukuzthanda forever
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up
Phakamisa umhlobo wakho
Thethelela abangakwazi ukuzmela
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up
Phakamisa umhlobo wakho
Thethelela abangakwazi ukuzmela
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up

[Verse 1]
Don’t you ever look down on another
Awazi likuphetheleni iksasa
Treat your neighbor like he your real brother
Noma wazalwa ngomunye umama
Sphumеlele kanjan singavani
Look as a peoplе we can’t lose to money
Impilo inzima bhekela ongamazi
Uma ungakwenzi lokho nam andaz
'Cause if you don’t then you walk the wrong road
Life’s a journey you don’t walk alone
It takes a village like we were told
Muntu omnyama just look after your own
Xhasa abakini don’t you get it wrong
Haven’t you heard charity start at home
Soze silkhule if we don’t you know
Funda ukuzithanda the first step to go

[Chorus]
Look, I haven’t been home in so long, it’s affectin my patience
Look to the sky for a minute, wanna float away
Umhlaba’s only good to you if you strong through the pressure
Funda ukuzthanda forever
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up
Phakamisa umhlobo wakho
Thethelela abangakwazi ukuzmela
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up
Phakamisa umhlobo wakho
Thethelela abangakwazi ukuzmela
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up

[Verse 2]
Please protect our women
Cause we need em stop the beatings no
I know the feeling, heart break eating joy you’ve seen is gone
Even when she’s leavin, scared receding, please show some remorse
I know it ain’t easy when she leavin & the love no more
Wena ungathini ingusisi wakho beaten strong
Really would you leave him if you seen him walkin free alone
The mothers of our babies, please let’s save em, I can’t take no more
ILizwe lethu alipheli, we can make it uma sime sonke
Look I haven’t been home in so long it’s affectin my patience
Look to the sky for a minute, wanna float away
Umhlaba’s only good to you if you strong threw the pressure
Funda ukuzthanda forever
Usaphila don’t you ever let up

[Chorus]
Look, I haven’t been home in so long, it’s affectin my patience
Look to the sky for a minute, wanna float away
Umhlaba’s only good to you if you strong through the pressure
Funda ukuzthanda forever
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up
Phakamisa umhlobo wakho
Thethelela abangakwazi ukuzmela
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up
Phakamisa umhlobo wakho
Thethelela abangakwazi ukuzmela
Usaphila, don’t you ever let up
