[Chorus : Mx]

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Been through a lot of things but I got through

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Been through a lot of things but I got through

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba, hlaba


[Verse 1 : Mx]

RIP to my loved ones, just know ngiyanikhumbula

A lot of things done changed but angisoze ngahluka

The snakes and fakes know who they are

My actions through the love of God

I'm on my path, that's why angisoze ngahluka

Nedlozi lingibhekile

Isimo sitshekile

I gotta keep faith

'Cause even when it rains, the strongest houses get built

All I wanted was a chance to prove the

Fact I'm all about my craft, I'm all-rounded

I feel like Lance Klusener

Ekse, yindaba abantu bangathandi uphumelele?

They wish they was you, shuthi ngempеla

They forget the fact you human as wеll

Lose themselves pursuing wealth

And then when they fail, bayazithukuthela

I'm a dreamer, believer who believes uvuka uzenzele

You know what kind of person you are by the people that you hanging with

But the inner you is where the magic is

I'm just an average kid who got damaged and managed to live

Through the tragic things

I lost my mind and survived an accident

I fight through the pain by being passionate


[Chorus : Mx]

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Been through a lot of things but I got through

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Been through a lot of things but I got through

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba, hlaba


[Bridge : Mx]

There comes a time when

I wanna lay back, let my mind think

Noma kunzima

We out here sizama ukuphila


[Verse 2 : Mx]

Momma’s around, Poppa’s around

You don't even know what my hustle's about

They loving it now

Bangilahle ne-doubt, I toughened it out, been through ups and downs

Grew up around my grandmomma’s house with vultures around

My childhood friends are down in the ground

We were told to sleep early 'cause of gun sounds—doof doof!

So isikhathi esiningi sakhula emajalidini

But my eyes have seen what their eyes have seen

And how life has been

I learnt you must live inside your dream

Make your mind believe, try achieve

Now I see and agree

What they mean when they be telling us the best things in life are free

Well, here’s the truth

What’s worst for you is what’s best for you and meant for you

My parents for me made plenty moves

I went seven schools so the friends were few

And I got another family I never knew

But my blessings are true

If I thought otherwise ngoba ngenze iphutha

Look at me through your heart, that's how you can hear me through

Grab the bucket, take whatever destiny is handing me

Can't you see? If it's my hand, it has to be a masterpiece

None can destroy or decoy me from what I plan to be

Blood makes you related but loyalty will make you family


[Chorus : Mx]

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Been through a lot of things but I got through

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Been through a lot of things but I got through

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Lomhlaba uyahlaba, hlaba


[Outro : Mx & Masandi]

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu

Ngabantu
