This is a little piece I composed when I was in a dark place. If I was a rap star, I’d come up with a little tune and make some real music. But I only know how to write what I think and feel down. So if you want to use this, just holler…and oh, it’s in IsiNdebele lol.
Remember the first time ngikhuluma lawe
From that point on, baby ngabali ‘qhawe.
You know what?!, wantshintsha impilo yami
Ngangihlala ngizula, looking for the next game
Never thinking of ukuntshintsha and being tame.
Never thinking of how my life was a shame.
Wafika wena, wathi phola mfana ngilawe.
Ngantshintsha impilo yami and now I have a name.
Ngabakhangela bonke ngathi,this is my time, ngolibona next time.
Kodwa baby, in spite of this flame, ngiyazi ungenza ngcono.
CHORUS
I am telling you ungenza ngcono, sithandwa sami ungenza ngcono
Banengi phandle abenza ngcono, abangakuphatha ngcono, love you ngcono
People who will appreciate you more, I tell you baby ungenza ngcono
Akhona amajita angcono, baphethe lesikolo njalo bagqoka ngcono
Mina ngiyiskorobho baby, wena ungenza ngcono.
VERSE 2
You know before I met you, ngangicabanga njengo grade two
At that age ufana lomuntu ongelaskolo, ngizula ngingenzi fokolo.
Wathi kimi wena ubona i-potential, with your words I started to try and I knew I could fly.
Soon ngazibona ngiphumelele, ngangena izindawo ngabayingqwele
Kodwa ngobuwula I looked forward & forgot you, owami umqhele.
Through all that trouble and folly, wena ngami wawuzifele
I understand uyangithanda kodwa baby you can do better than me, ungenza ngcono.
CHORUS
I am telling you ungenza ngcono, sithandwa sami ungenza ngcono
Banengi phandle abenza ngcono, abangakuphatha ngcono, love you ngcono
People who will appreciate you more, I tell you baby ungenza ngcono
Akhona amajita angcono, baphethe lesikolo njalo bagqoka ngcono
Mina ngiyiskorobho baby, wena ungenza ngcono.
