Ngizobuya
Chorus:
Goodbye mama, ngizobuya (*2)
Ngisayozama, kunzim’ ekhaya, ngizobuya (*2) ..
1st Verse:
I’m going, in search of the good life
You told me, I’m too good for the hood life
You taught me, to play fair and to do right
So don’t cry, I’m trying to do right.
I’m gonna call every day and say goodnight
Flying off with hope to reach new heights
Now ready for the world, let me go get ‘em
These lames can’t catch what I throw at ‘em.
It’s time to go, leave it all
If it works for me, it works for the home
Pray, every day, I’m away
That I don’t get swept by the wind and then lose my way.
One day, I swear I will bring you moon
Leave a light on in the small back room
Even though I’m gone, you should know I’m there
Tears in my eyes, so you know I care ..
Chorus:
Goodbye mama, ngizobuya (*2)
Ngisayozama, kunzim’ ekhaya, ngizobuya (*2) ..
2nd Verse:
Every step of the way, I’ll be thinking of you
I’ll be thinking of you
Count on me whether dark or blue
I got your back you know I do.
I feel all the pain that you’ll have to go through
Wish there was a way, you could come along too
Smile and wave, though you don’t want to
I’m goin’ away, when I don’t want to.
It’s scary out there, it’s safe in your wing
When I get sick, mama who’s gonna sing?
Really don’t know what the world’s gonn’ bring
Monsters dressed as human beings.
But I must believe, cos I wanna be great
Wanna make you proud of me, everyday
Even though I’m gone, you should know I’m there
Tears in my eyes, so you know I care.
Chorus:
Goodbye mama, ngizobuya (*2)
Ngisayozama, kunzim’ ekhaya, ngizobuya (*2) ..
3rd Verse:
All I have is a bag, that is half full
Don’t really have much but I’m hopeful
We will celebrate, on the day I return
Throw a big party, on the day I return.
Slaughter a big cow, the whole city will bow
Sing your name, I hear them right now
You took a little boy, and made him into a man
Took care of me and now it’s my turn.
Gotta set out and fend for the family
I die every-time when I see you unhappy
Must stand up, take control
Push and pull and make us more.
Send that cash from across that border
Make you smile, stress is over
Might be, living in a foreign nation
But my love for you, won’t get lost in translation.
Chorus:
Goodbye mama, ngizobuya (*2)
Ngisayozama, kunzim’ ekhaya, ngizobuya (*2) ..
Outro:
I’m not running away
I’m trying to find another way
I’m not giving up
I’m trying to find another way ..
