T.West - Story to Tell Lyrics

01 Feb, I was born mina
The first words I said in my life ukuthi "Ngiyan'thanda nina"
Two weeks later, dad leaves
Meanwhile, mom grieves
Mom and dad broke up and I'm the reason for that
I guess he didn't want a kid, now how silly is that?
But hey, they say two wrongs don't make a right
He left a note that went something like
"Ey lovie wam' ang'sakhoni futhi nemali angiy'tholi
Ngicel' ungay'lahli lencosi, ukuthi ngizobuya ang'saboni
Leave the past, just move on, I'm just saying asisajoli
Mara bheka, I love you, I gotta be on my own
I can't support, I'm broke, ngiyak'shiya ke, it's no joke
Uzomthol' uMr. Right, mina I ain't good enough
We fight a lot, I can't take it
Please my boo, raise this kid
I didn't mean to make this seed"
And that's all I know

At least I got a story to tell
At least I got a story to tell
My heart bleeds as I grab the pen
But at least I got a story to tell
At least I got a story to tell
At least I got a story to tell
My heart bleeds as I grab the pen
But at least I got a story to tell

But I was a kid, so I knew nothing
So I had to stop talking and start grinding
I was always one of the top five students
Getting certificates, making mom proud always
One day I asked mom, why dad isn't here?
She didn't answer me, her face smeared tears
Okay it makes sense, doesn't it?
We out here suffering and he's out there loving it
Always gave me a call, once in a year
He'd make empty promises and make them sound real clear
Wondering what type of a man does that
Pretending things are okay, but inside broken
Hell no! I'm not mad at him, I'm astonished
Get this out of my chest before I perish
He a coward, we managed to survive
We don't need him in our lives and that's all I know

At least I got a story to tell
At least I got a story to tell
My heart bleeds as I grab the pen
But at least I got a story to tell
At least I got a story to tell
At least I got a story to tell
My heart bleeds as I grab the pen
But at least I got a story to tell
