Viva Mandela
Eh friends
Twenty years ago your voices
Carried across the water to inspire us in our prison cell far away
Tonight we can stand before you free
(Hmm, hmm)
For many years, they tried to bring me down
A King without crown, you wore it proud
And never shed a tear when hardship came around
When our struggle was in town and filled with doubt
Said you stood your ground and you made a vow to turn this thing around
When they took a product tried to tear it down you lead us through the fight
Now we way too far just to give them love if we're living we choose to die
So we pray to god and walk through the fire and well they're marching and screaming now
How they're screaming now
Viva, viva, viva mandiba
How they're screaming now
Viva, viva, viva mandela
Mandela, yem, yem Rolihlahla
Siyazidla ngawe saziqenya ngawe
Father of the nation sentenced to isolation
Said you stood your ground and you made a vow to turn this thing around
(When they took a product tried to tear it down) you lead us through the fight
(Now we're way too far just to give him love) if we're not living we choose to die
So we pray to god and walk through the fire and well they're marching and screaming now
How they screaming now
Viva, viva, viva Madiba
Viva, viva, viva Mandela
Viva, viva, viva Madiba (let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete)
(Where there's poverty and sickness)
(Where human beings are even afraid, there's more work to be done) viva
Viva (It is in your hands now I thank you) viva Mandela
Uyagamer neh?
So there's, there's that video (ubawa) happenin' (mmm)
Err for the Brenda Fasi legacy tour
And then there's ibingoku le ivideo yami no Bricks (mmm) comin' out soon as well
(Ndifuna ukuk'buza into e controversial) ewe bhut' wami
(Use Ghetto Rough moes?) Ndise Ghetto Rough
(And I artist ezininzi xaziphuma pha zezingathethi kak'hle nge Ghetto Rough)
(Wena kunjani ukuba phaya e Ghetto Rough?)
Yaz bhuti wami right now neh, ndiney relationship with everyone phaya e Ghetto Rough
That is amazin' ukubone such to an extent uk'ba ezizinto ezithethwayo anizazi (anizazi anizazi)
