[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 n***as 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
