When they hurt you
They hurt me
When they curse you
They curse me
When they fail you
They fail me
When they hate you
They hate me
You know the repercussions
When they speak
They're no discussions
Left for dead
Your dreams are in a ditch
Rest in peace
Sweet lifeless melanin
Your names will never die
We live beyond the ground
Ndinovalo Baba

Naz'indundumo
Zindifuman'ebusuku
Nditshovwa bubomi
I see but I don't see
Sendinqwenela
Nokungavuki mna
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele
Some don't like to sound
Too woke and proud
They would rather hide
Behind the likes and clout
Don't let them see your tears
Don't let them feed your fears
We weren't supposed to kneel
To no man, gun or spear
They say you're waking up
You're waking up
You're waking up
All the dead right now
They say you better not
You better not
You better not do that thing
Right now
Why not right now
Why not today
Why not my pain
Why not my face
Ndinovalo Baba

Zindifuman'ebusuku
Nditshovwa bubomi
I see but I don't see
Sendinqwenela
Nokungavuki mna
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele ndiyekele
Ndiyekele
