[Intro]
I know
For real

[Verse 1]
I've got some things that make me ashamed of myself
I've seen some things that desensitize me to death
Where I'm from what doesn't kill you traumatise you to death
Me and my bro, made for my momma trust so hard to prevail
Shii - All of my life all I wanted was to get paid
Broke into my uncle's safe, broke my momma's heart on the way
Soloko wazala mina I've been nothing but a disgrace
The day you said you wished I'd die, something inside me changed
And like it can never ever abracadabra my pain away
But, you gave me life and it's something I can't repay
First time in my life I'm not ready to pass away
Pray to God I make you proud of me before the chosen day

[Hook]
When you wake up and you don't find me by your side
Don't you ever shed a tear don't you cry
Elke dag I'm on the grind
And you the reason why ngingenza nomayini just to see you smile
So everytime umung'khumbula' ungkhumbula mina, Umung'khumbula mina don't you cry
Umung'khumbula ung'khumbula mina, I just wanna make you proud
[Verse 2]
When I said fuck with school, uGogo told me chase my dreams
When the devil had his way, and I thought God won't intervene
She's the one that God sent for me, ingilosi for me
And she was a nurse, but never tripped that I drink lean
The only one that understands
You're the only one that really understands
And I just wanna hold your hands
I pray I spoil you before heaven takes you back
Ungakhali when I'm gone

[Hook]
When you wake up and you don't find me by your side
Don't you ever shed a tear don't you cry
Elke daag I'm on the grind
And you the reason why ngingenza nomayini just to see you smile
So every time umung'khumbula' ungkhumbula mina, Umung'khumbula mina, don't you cry
Umung'khumbula ung'khumbula mina
I just wanna make you proud

[Verse 3]
Ngyabonga ukuthi you gave me all these beautiful women in my life
Ngibong' umusa wakho, ngibonga uthando lwakho
Noma 'ngali-deserva
Baba wami I'm grateful, noma ngikhule ngingakwazi baba wami
Gave me a sister noGogo noMama wami
Baba wami I'm grateful
[Hook]
When you wake up and you don't find me by your side
Don't you ever shed a tear don't you cry
Elke daag I'm on the grind
And you the reason why ngingenza nomayini just to see you smile
So every time umung'khumbula' ungkhumbula mina, Umung'khumbula mina don't you cry
Umung'khumbula ung'khumbula mina, I just wanna make you proud
I hope you're proud
