Lyrics

[Intro: Zola] I still remember how I closed the speech in 1996, and I will say the same words They're actually kwi-kwincwadi ye COSAS at the back A-quote(iwe) laphana, I think they come from a man called John Phillips He says "The future is not some place we're heading, but one we're creating The road to it is not found but made, and the activities of making it changes both the maker and destination." Basically the ball is on your court [Applause] [Humming] [Verse 1] Yeah Okay, I got the hair from Spikiri, my cadence is njengo Zola I guess the way I say these things they never get across 'Cause I've been lacing medicine in each one of my songs Father help me make it easy just like those before Never make 'em wait like this, asoze basokole I'm talking to you baby cousin, sondela s'ncokole And if you get a crazy thought just write it down ubone One day they'll take your picture, just to frame it on the wall See you can make mistakes, don't let it break you when you fall Akhomnt' ongena pain, I can't explain it but it's sore Just promise me to take it as a baby step, come on You know your favorite saying; "Ntwana qin' uzoba strong" [Chorus] Yeah, ntwana qin' uzoba strong Ntwana qin' uzoba strong Yeah, ntwana qin' uzoba strong I know you been through this before [Verse 2] I know you cried a lot, I know you zama till it's sore I know your mama seen it all, I know she thandaza galore But if we-, eish! But if we thamba then we fall (Weak!) I don't wanna be my timer anymore So I just focus on the score, I put my hustle where I talk Leave the drama nyana, I let them tussle, let them talk I stack the zaka-nyana, build the muscle with my thoughts Vandag we do not zama, s'yababamba mfana far Don't you ever let 'em tell who you are 'Cause they can never match your spirit bengakwazi Intomb' ephum' ezulwini, my God! They just don't know how to handle what you got So, keep these niggas waiting, take your time with everything Fuck being the greatest, ask your mom, you're a king Don't try to be perfect, just be sorry when you sin Ask God for forgiveness, He can heal you from within [Outro] So, noba bangathini, ndit' nangey'phi na imini Never let 'em win, just be great emphakathini Solid or regardless, it ain't easy xa bephika On my mama's lovers, ain't no need to politic it Noba bangathini, ndit' nangey'phi na imini Never let 'em win, just be great emphakathini Solid or regardless, it ain't easy xa bephika On my mama's lovers, ain't no need to politic it Noba bangathini, ndit' nangey'phi na imini Never let 'em win, just be great emphakathini Solid or regardless, it ain't easy xa bephika On my mama's lovers, ain't no need to politic
