Carmelia’s Baby

[Intro]
Mama I hope you know I think of you all the time
Ung’thandazele iNkosi ihambe nami

[Chorus]
Baningi
It’s a lot, it’s a lot, it’s a lot of them
Abang’thandayo, I got a whole lot of women
Abang’zondayo, niggas still tryna kill me
Abangasekho nathi, I miss ’em
‘Sacel’ ung’thandazele, pray for me
A’ung’thandazele, won’t you pray for me
USatan’ ung’cindezele, pray for me
A’ung’thandazele, ngoba ‘konakele

[Post-Chorus]
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Abang’fisel’ okubi

[Verse]
You knew my heart was broken
Life did me wrong, I can not get away from pain
I thought I’d never fly again
I broke my wings but now I’m flyin’ again
God, why all of my people end up dead or in jail?
They gave my mama 15 years, I almost cried when she cried
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I-I did things I should’ve never did

[Chorus]
Baningi
It’s a lot, it’s a lot, it’s a lot of them
Abang’thandayo, I got a whole lot of women
Abang’zondayo, niggas still tryna kill me
Abangasekho nathi, I miss ’em
‘Sacel’ ung’thandazele, pray for me
A’ung’thandazele, won’t you pray for me
USatan’ ung’cindezele, pray for me
A’ung’thandazele, ngoba ‘konakele

[Post-Chorus]
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Baningi, baningi, baningi
Abang’fisel’ okubi

[Outro]
Baningi
Awami ama enemies awapheli

Kodwa iNkosi ihamba nami yeah
