[Chorus]
I feel like you’re my peace these days
Like you’re my secret space
Like we might beat this hate
Never thought I’d feel so safe
Taught me don’t fight, do better
Gotta give you my love letter
I should take you with someday
Thanda since Eastern Cape
Ow Soweto ow Soweto
Ndiyabulela ndiyabulela
Ow Soweto ow Soweto
Ndiyabulela ndiyabulela
[Verse 1]
I’m just a prodcut of y’all ndilol’hlobo
I coulnd’t do it all without Zola
Yall couldn’t picture me ball without Spikiri walk without tswikiri crawl without Mshoza
Only Afro I know was Pitch Black
I used to bunk outta school to spit tracks
I bumped Sliqour before the man gave me a job
Ventilation was warm the hood vision was yours
I pray I don’t forget it keep the memories so
I will always be indebted to you Lebo Mathosa
And every time I see them singing my songs, Lord knows
I’m just the vessel you’re the infinite force
I just pray that they come up knowing that hood the real juice
Pro would tell you too but I will convince you
Ain’t another place that could win my heart
Straight outta the gate they just give me love
[Chorus]
I feel like you’re my peace these days
Like you’re my secret space
Like we might beat this hate
Never thought I’d feel so safe
Taught me don’t fight, do better
Gotta give you my love letter
I should take you with someday
Thanda since Eastern Cape
Ow Soweto ow Soweto
Ndiyabulela ndiyabulela
Ow Soweto ow Soweto
Ndiyabulela ndiyabulela
[Verse 2]
Ekse bump Mafikizolo bump bump Makeba
Bump noMapaputsi bump bump Makhendlas
If we don’t know the story they gon’ change the rules
Now who’s to say in 20 they won’t play you too
Bustin' out the corner getting mine Mandoza
Pull up with an attitude neVibe Godoba
To all the soldiers that we lost we pray they up there chilling with Lord looking down TK I swear I do it for you and bra Hugh
God khaubulise uMasekele okanye uSalut’uBrenda
Lucky Dube, sometimes you gotta sit and reflect
Ngomshado ka Maleven no Mdu
They told me Yanga relax you not better than this
I shine like the stars eb’Suku show love in every kind of hood
[Chorus]
I feel like you’re my peace these days
Like you’re my secret space
Like we might beat this hate
Never thought I’d feel so safe
Taught me don’t fight, do better
Gotta give you my love letter
I should take you with someday
Thanda since Eastern Cape
Ow Soweto ow Soweto
Ndiyabulela ndiyabulela
Ow Soweto ow Soweto
Ndiyabulela ndiyabulela
[Outro]
If it matters won’t you, grandma that's okay
Molo ndiyabulisa I feel like crazy if it matters won’t you come and save my grandma it’s okay life gon let molo ndiyabulisa
I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, eish yeah
If it matters won’t you come and save my grandma it’s okay life gon let molo ndiyabulisa
Ow Soweto ow Soweto
Ndiyabulela ndiyabulela
