Lo uVilakazi umphephethwa umshukumisa igazi uyamenza
Nom ihlaba inameva
Ikhandelwe mina nawe lendlela

Ublind untswembu my boom baap uyi punch line yami
Mama wami baphi o malume abafake amabhantji balunge
Sthandwa sami ungabi usaduga noma kumakhaza uthando luyavutha
Ubamba la ngithi eish ubambe le ngithi eish wang tsikinyetsa
I just hope you can see you ain't gotta kill me cause already ngiyazfela

Noma bangathini bathi ngiku thakathile
Wen' ubone mina kuzozonke intombi esgodini
Dali thath' okwami hayi ungink' okwakho
Ngizokuthanda kuze kufike ekufeni

Ukhanya njengelanga liphum' ekseni
Noma amazwi angaphela kusobala emehlweni
Wena uthanda mina
Mina ngikhethe wena
Ngizokuthanda ngize ngifike ek'feni
