Mntanami lyrics

[Verse 1]
My daddy had ten wives
I was the tenth child
From the fifth wife
Wasn't the best one
My daddy never had time
He was never mine
He was never mom's
I didn't know love
My mommy took care of us
Said we needed wives
Said we needed slaves
Women don't count
I guess that's why I denied
Your mama a rockstar
So unlike a wife
'Twas unfamiliar

[Chorus]
Ng'xolele
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele mntanami
[Verse 2]
Ndikhule nabazali
Ubaba noma wami
Ma esinakekela
Weh bekungekho lula
Ubab'ehamb' edyola
Umam' ekhaya ethula
Mfaz' uyanyamezela
Ubaba uyasebenza

[Chorus]
Ng'xolele
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele mntanami

[Verse 3]
Ndak' disappoint'a
Ndak' dissapoint'a ngan
Ndak' disappoint'elani
Ngangiphethwe ngabangani
Manje sengiyaxolisa
Ngiyacela mnta' kababa
Ngiyacela nunuza
Sengiyakuthembisa
[Chorus]
Ng'xolele
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele
Ng'xolele mntanami
Ng'xolele mntanami

[Outro]
I am grown with regrets
For denying your existence all these years
Forgive me please
Now you're grown
Hope you find it in your heart
'Cause I was never man enough or dad enough
I am grown with regrets
For denying your existence all these years
Forgive me please
Now you're grown
Hope you find it in your heart
'Cause I was never man enough or dad enough
