[Intro]

Gladwin you're an angel

[Verse : M2kane]

I'm here to pander to a heart that has been vilified

That's always pampered me and harvested my inner fire

I wanna see you smile

Don't wanna see you cry

I wanna be the one who always let's your demons down

Relentless in your quest to make your baby fly

I'll always grind until I find a way to make you proud

Still trying to bargain with the horrors of a heavy ride

You always conquered through the trauma of a steady tide

You gave me laughter when a part of me was buried ground

You loved your daughter to thе corners of unsteady bounds

I couldn't watch it when my fathеr would just tear you down

I tried to hide but if I'm honest I heard every sound

It's been a scary climb

I've been unfairly trialed

I've gone through many frowns

Harboured a petty mind

We'd always talk when all my problems wouldn't let me shine

I'll always champion your honour with confetti pride

I thought I'd never ever make it out of varsity

You heard the way I spoke and killed the animosity

In all them days, student loans wasn't paying through

And I would sip on coffee that would masquerade as food

I was desperate for the Lord that I was praying to

And if we keeping it one hunnid' that remains the truth

I hated every minute of my graduation

Celebrating the illusion of a black who made it

I later realised my actions were just mad and hateful

How could I be that way with all you did to pass the baton

None of your dedication was fabricated

All I was educated was planned in patience

You understand the weight of where that could take us

And that's why you put the ground work on the man I shaped to

You brushed of all the hate you faced with animated grace

You radiate in ways that made me alienate the pain

I am so sorry for the ache you braved

I am so bothered by the way it came

I cannot change erase it to make it fade

All I can do is shape the future and embrace it's fate

The traits you scraped and chafed already make me great

It's safe to claim you can't be blamed to think I'm draped in shame

But look at the man you made me the way you paved

Don't have a way to word the gratitude you've laid in me

You have a heart of gold that's replicated with perfection

It's now been etched into my essence, it's been digested

You put a love into my heart that's bordered with progression

And that's why every time you speak I'm foraging for lessons

[Hook : M2Kane]

I'm serenading you at every opportunity

I'm celebrating you for you to know you're jewellery

Kumele ndithi kuwe ndiz'bonele ukuthi ndixabise imbeko noolothando endakhul'undinika

I'm serenading you at every opportunity

I'm celebrating you for you to know you're jewellery

Kumele ndithi kuwe ndiz'bonele ukuthi ndixabise imbeko noolothando endakhul'undinika

[Chorus : M2Kane]

One time for my momma

One time for you MaDlamini

I just wanna live the life I know you want for me

You get caught up in your mind so much I wonder if

You goin' ever see me shine

If you'll ever see the light I'll bring

I just wanna tell you now

You won't ever need to hide your dreams

Your dreams

You won't ever need to hide your dreams

Ey

Never need to hide your dreams
