(Chorus)
Izwe lethu liyaphela,
Izwe lethu liyahlupheka
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
Izwe lethu liyaphela,
Izwe lethu liyahlupheka
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
(Verse)
Too much noise surrounding me
Lord I pray everyday for a better me
Drugs and violence the road to my happiness
Momma struggled to raise me into a man
All the pain that I felt I can't comprehend
I can't fake a smile knowing I deeply hurt
Saw my momma on drugs and I hate myself
Taught me not to cry gotta hold it in
She was behind bars
I was barely ten
Saw it in her eyes, it was crippling
All these tribulations made me stronger
To my siblings I know I”m a soldier
Everything changing around me
My momma was my real homie
Everything changing sound me (yeah)
Izwe lethu liyaphela,
Izwe lethu liyahlupheka
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
Izwe lethu liyaphela,
Izwe lethu liyahlupheka
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
(Verse)
Vikela Ubomi bami, vikela izindlalifa zami,
izinyathelo zami mazikhanye,
seku kaningi silubonile uthando lwakho
veza amandla akho
gcina intando yakho
singabantwana bakho
(Chorus)
Izwe lethu liyaphela,
Izwe lethu liyahlupheka
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
Izwe lethu liyaphela,
Izwe lethu liyahlupheka
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
koze kube nini sikhala ngento eyodwa
