Ngithi umang′khumbula
Lapho ng'phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi umang′khumbula mama
Lapho ng'phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Kwakungekhona uk'hlakanipha kwami
Nami ngasizwa yinkabi zami
UMama wathi ng′bonise abangani bakho
And I′ll show you your future

Abesekho abangani
Bamtholile bongumdali
Ngoba la ngaphandle
Kunzima ngiyakutshela we mfethu
Sihamba ney′nyoka, iy'nyoka esiz′biza abafwethu
I thank you God for ley'nkabi eng'nazo
Lokhu ngiphusha ngiphanda nazo
They save me!
Bafaka ifull tank maku iyeye
Ngithi umang′khumbula
Lapho ng′phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi umang'khumbula mama
Lapho ng′phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Umama told me not to trust abangani
Where I grew up there is no opportunity
There's drugs and violence abalwa ne sun city
Amahhumusha are the only ones feeding their families
All my life I believed I′d be nothing
When you become the one, they treat you like a king!
Umama methi watch the company you keep
But if it wasn't for abangani bami
What would I sort I be
Ingilosi zami, zangenza umuntu ebantwini
Right when I thought unkulunkulu ukhohliwe ngami
Akanandaba ngami
Nga give up nami
If it wasn′t for bona laba abangani bami
Ngabe k'phelile ngami
Usatan could have really really had his way with me
Umama methi watch the company you keep
Today I'm glad ukuthi I didn′t listen
Ngithi umang′khumbula
Lapho ng'phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi umang′khumbula mama
Lapho ng'phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Umang′khumbula
Emakhaya
Beyingekho icreshe
Me and my cousins used to play
Yeah
Ngiyakhumbula
Ngale kwezintaba
Beyingekho imvula
One day I'm gonna make it rain
Ngisakhumbula
Ng′bulawa yindlala
Bekungekho ukudla
You don't know no hunger pains
Kwak'nok′shuba
Lapheng′phuma khona
Bekungekho lula
But the Lord will make a way
Ngithi umang'khumbula
Lapho ng′phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi umang'khumbula mama
Lapho ng′phuma khona
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
