Coming Home
Ndikhumbul ekhaya abazali bam
Oledi lam
Siphila kamnandi
Umtshan uPhilani wrote those words after both his parents died of AIDS
Life is rough, niks snaaks as jy viks sal kry
So remember your words, and always mean what you say
Keep out of prison, you're driven, then just stay in your lane
Yeah kunzim emhlabeni boy
This world is pain
Yeah kunzim emhlabeni boy
Don't ever change
Kwakungekholula sisakhulu ndikhumbula utat endikhuza
Esithi ndincede mtan ufunde ngoba amathuba awezilula
Thina sikhula sanikwa ikhuba
Safundisw ukuthi ukutya kuza xa umhlaba wogqunywe ngumgqubo waguqulwa
Kwana imvula
Sivune kusengw inkomo sivube sihluthe siyolusa igusha izulu liduduma
Nina ulutsha anaz umsembenzi
Those were lessons from a man I considered my friend... ameni
And even though I try to hold it back
I shed a tear when I think of that
All those years and the work they put in just to be good parents
And to turn this boy into a man
There's no way I can pay them back
But my plan is to show them that I understand
And even though we're not talking anymore I left a message on your phone to say Im coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
Nothing ever lasted on the phone
And I can't stand to be here all alone
I'm coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
Nothing ever lasted on the phone
Nothing ever did
And I can't stand to be here all alone
That's why I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
Nqo nqo emabheleni
I knock on the door
Xandithi ndikroba efestileni nobody is home
Ndath ndijekelez indlu ndadibana nexhego
Lath abantu ababehlala kulomzi abasekho
At that point, kwafika uvalo, ndaba nephika
Kwaqina umzimba wonke ndangakwazi nokucinga
Are my parents dead, did they move what does he mean
I'm full of sweat, I'm busy panicking but its a dream
So many things I haven't said to his face, my father
Along the path we lost respect for each other
And he blames my mother
Masilungise lendaba ngoba kulomhlaba siphila kay one Tata
But it's obvious we'll never resolve this conflict
Because I never argued you believed what you wanted
And so the story goes on and its ending the day
One of us is standing looking down at the other one grave
Amen
And even though I try to hold it back
I shed a tear when I think of that
All those years and the work they put in just to be good parents
And to turn this boy into a man
There's no way I can pay them back
But my plan is to show them that I understand
And even though we're not talking anymore I left a message on your phone to say Im coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
Nothing ever lasted on the phone
And I can't stand to be here all alone
I'm coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
Nothing ever lasted on the phone
Nothing ever did
And I can't stand to be here all alone
That's why I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Coming home
Coming home
