[Verse 1: Samthing Soweto]
Umama wayevuk'eseni
Asilungiselele ukuthi siye esikoleni
Athi vuka hambo geza, ungabi late
Ukudla kwakho uzokuthol'etafuleni
Ngangingazi ukuthi one day
Ngizokhula nami ngibe mude
Ngibe ngaka, ngibe muhle ngibe nje
Ngifane nabanye

[Bridge]
Noma kunzima
Umama wenz'iplan
Webafethu ngikhuluma nge star
Ngikhuluma nge starring
Ngikhuluma ngembokodo, yoh

Noma kunzima
Umama wenz'iplan
Webafethu ngikhuluma nge star
Ngikhuluma nge starring
Omama bomthandazo
Omama bomthandazo
Omama

[Verse 2: Samthing Soweto]
Noma kuyenyuka noma kuyehla
Uma avele athandaze
Athi thulamntanami ungakhali
Kuyoze kulunge one day
Kuyoze kulunge one day

Noma kuyenyuka noma kuyehla
Uma avele athandaze
Athi thulamntanami ungakhali
Kuyoze kulunge one day
Kuyoze kulunge one day

[Verse: Makhafula Vilakazi]
Ode to the fat black women of this country's squatta camps abaz'iqiniso ne-skelem
Imbokodo zomthandazo ikhokhokazi odoc bephinifa
Abavuka bawashe bapheke ba kline bageze abantwana
Before baye emsebenzini
Ode to the fat black numbian queens of africa's ghettos
Ingulube zemjondolo eziphila amashift
Nakamadala ejudeni gunman akuna kleva egqoka icarvela
Iikleva zigqoka iphinifa netshali zithwele abazukulu emqolo zine stress se-grocer
Aziphathi amatlam ikleva ziphatha ama-damu nama-wiper nama-napkins
Azinkawuziazibishayi ishoshovi zomjondolo
Zimayizise nge snemfu nakhankili
Azidli ukotini ukotini awudliwa emjondojondo ukotini uthunga ibhulukhwe lika skhokho ukuthi angahlekwa eklasini ahlekwe nasesikoleni
Nkulunkulu weZulu elimdaka
Gcina lekleva zama heavy weight ngamaduku nama beret ezigcwele ama front seat wama siyaya
Ziyemakhishini ziyolwa impi yama mpela
Ziyolwa impi yesishebo nekhandlela mamela
[Chorus]
(We baba) We baba
(S'gcinele) S'gcinele
(Omama) Omama bomthandazo

(We baba) We baba
(S'gcinele) S'gcinele
(Omama) Omama bomthandazo, omama
