[Intro]

Tata molo kunjani? uMakhulu ufuna utheta nawe

Luthando kunjani mntanam? Bendikhu check-a nje

Qina mntanam unyamezele kuba mnyama xakuzawlunga

Umthandazo Luthando, Umthandazo ngu ndoqo

(Ngeny’ imini, oh, sizo poppa ye mama)

[Verse 1]

Ayy

Yebathi imali nguSatana kodw’ihlel ezPokothweni

You would see a different view if ubuhlal’ etyotyombeni

A one room house for a family of five

It’s my life and now I’m forced to survive

Do what I can to make means to my ends

It’s true what they say, when it rains it pours

Sikwi meko ezifanayo but it’s not by choice

So I hope xaku netha next time kuneth’ imali

Ikati ilel’eziko

UBhut’ ukhedamile

Usis’ubelekile

Ekse i-tyma idadamile

Mam’ondizalayo yen’ udad’ematyaleni

She’s been doing all she can okuba mand’gqibe eskolweni

Philela la-feeling yoku zala kuzolula

Yaz’intliziyo zaba zali thina bafethu s’yazophula

Mama ndiyak’thembis’ ezonyembezi ndzosula

Isdima sase khaya ngenyi mini sizobuya

[Chorus]

Ngenyimini, ngenyimini

Oh sizo poppa yeMama

Ngenyimini, ngenyimini

Oh sizo poppa yeMama

[Verse 2]

Mam’ uzamile, us’fundisile

Utata engekho owam' umam’uskhulisile

Usebenzile, usiqinisile

Without a father figure kodw’indlel us’bonisile

Umama ekhona zange s’lale singatyanga

Es’vus’ ebsuku xas’lele singathandazanga

Bendsithi ndzokubeleka kuse kud’engqinibeni

Mam’gcina ndicel’uxolo ngob’andiyazi ipotyekephi

Intanga zam z’thengimoto, z’thengizindlu doing big things

Yintsokol’ eGautini nditshintshi ndawo nje nge street kid

I hustle hard for my mama and my two kids

No time to fuck around, I got a family to feed

Unom’tetsele was’shiya

No’Nico akad’aphile

Ndithandazela nje ubhut’wam ngoba lomthwal’ uyandisinda

Ded’ubumnyama kuvel’ukhanya zivulekil’ indlela zam'

Ebunzimeni ukhon' uMvuso thixo ndithethelele nam'

Sebenzele nje uMam’mam

[Refrain]

Mama ah hah (Oh yeah)

Ye Mama

[Chorus]

Ngenyimini, ngenyimini

Oh sizo poppa yeMama

Ngenyimini, ngenyimini

Oh sizo poppa yeMama
