Coming Home
Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land
I gotta give thanks for the people I have
Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah!
The streets could never, never never hold me down, yeah!
Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land
I gotta give thanks for the people I have
Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah!
The streets could never, never never hold me down, down.
Ain't no better therapist for me I gotta go home
Ain't no expert in depression but I gotta head home
Went tip-toe to the telephone to catch your ring tone
I'm just all alone, I say hello from the other side
Will I ever swim? Am lost in tide
Wish to catch a ride, home, you're my ride or die
I'll never deny what you do to me
You'll forever be that good to me
Is it all the walls or the people? I will never know
Maybe it's the love they show
Ayikhw' indaw' egqith' ikhaya
All the people I admire sitting all around the fire!
You make me who I am, for you I've got a bigger plan
Many things I've got to learn, still I have to push my pen
I love you till the end, my home land
Echibini where I hang out with my best friend
Talking big dreams, big cars, just to reach stars
Gotta stay wise, I be outchea spitting fire and be dropping sick bars!
Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land
I gotta give thanks for the people I have
Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah!
The streets could never, never never hold me down, yeah!
Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land
I gotta give thanks for the people I have
Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah!
The streets could never, never never hold me down, down.
Yes am from the Eastern Cape
Better put this sh**t on tape!
I swear this place is my escape
Respect to my fore fathers
I'll be blooming like the spring flowers
Grateful and beyond for all of these hours
Ambition taller than all these towers
Its a high, nothing like all these maruanas
Missing my sisters, always longing for home where my heart is
No need to worry Mama cause I know I got the keys
She told me "Baby go and grab the cheese"
You've got no one to please
Money doesn't grow on trees
Never go down on your knees
Rather work ten times hard
Put all your sweat and blood, even swimming through the mud
Gotta know where you came from, Ziyawa where am from
I'll miss you when am gone, goddamn I love this song!
Sending all regards to my people in my home town
You might have said am not enough, I be number one
Holding it down in my Queendom till the sun is down
Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land
I gotta give thanks for the people I have
Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah!
The streets could never, never never hold me down, yeah!
Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land
I gotta give thanks for the people I have
Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah!
The streets could never, never never hold me down, down.
