LYRICS

Bridge:

Yimihlola Yani Le
Yimi Hlola Yani le
Siyabuza

Yimihlola Yani Le
Yimi Hlola Yani le
S'funikwazi

Chorus:

Ingaba uya gwetywa kule mihla s'phila kuyo
Uluntu lwazi lahl' iindlela zok'phila zamandulo (2x)

Verse 1:

I came in this world in ’83,
Doberman gangs and killing sprees
Children at X3 escaping crime scenes,
Daily routines to school became risky,
Drug dealers and thug killers around shattered our dreams.
It's the world the way we know it,
Freedom fighters and poets, Mind-state is potent,
Giving hope for the hopeless, a voice for the voiceless
Save our lives we living in times NY streets are in turmoil
Every corner I turn feels like i’m heading the wrong way,
So often I’m caught between a rock and a hard place
Stick up kids scheming all day by the alley-ways,
Stiek uit for the X5 latest range and ready to snatch chains.

Bridge

Chorus

Verse 2:

It is my everyday routine,
highly-conformed to my village duties
I walk miles to fetch water from the well,
Obtain medicine for grandma’s health
She’s dying like my mom did,
She's trying like my dad never did
I take care of home,
Instil discipline and nurturing my younger twin sisters till they grow
We have alot to live up for,
The human pressures and economy’s downfall
The bread and paraffin is once again inflated,
Shit-else oppressed dealing the whites hatred
At first they colonized now they've indoctrinated my people’s minds
Feeding us biased lies, but now look at I,
going to school for an education that degrades my roots,
If mom was alive she wouldn’t accept the truce
She used to live the hard way, I learnt the hard way,
Like Ghandi fasted his whole life in Bombay
My culture is not a tourist attraction,
Why I gotta earn instead of deserving affirmative action
You came here, I’ve been here, Tell me why’s my land in your possession
Herding my livestock till they ready for slaughtering,
Feed the family granny be thinking that I'm dandering
Wondering when is the next mating season coming again,
The droughts, Fuck! I struggle to comprehend
I pray to the black God writing black scriptures
Seeing daylights turn into black pictures,
Acknowledging smiles upon only our black faces
I am my own king, Building my own castles (4x)

Outro:

Yeah, sometimes in life
You gotta stay strong
It's just the Native Yard thing
Ask Uno July, ask Crosby, Foresta
