Lyrics
Indaba yami le (Indaba yami le, this is my story)
Indaba yami le (Indaba yami le, this is my story)
Ngiphakamise, this is my story
Ngiphakamise
Hold me, ah (Hold me)
This is my story
Indaba yami le (Indaba yami le, this is my story)
Indaba yami le (Indaba yami le, this is my story)
Ngiphakamise (Ngiphakamise)
Ngiphakamise (Ngiphakamise, this is my story)
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Damini
Happy birthday to you
How old are you now?
(Oh, man)
Glory, yeah
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah
Lately, I’ve been fucked up, been having a hard time
Like back when my dawg died
Felt my heart split apart like apartheid
I could have survived, thug life full of combine
Hold it down, I was sentеnced by the crown
And I nevеr used to smile, though I never used to frown
Ten toes on the ground, what the hell?
My life came turning around from running wild in my town to the glory
Hold me, ah (Ngiphakamise)
This is my story, yeah (Indaba yami le)
Glory, yeah
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah
I remember when they shipped me from the cans
To Chelmsford HMP and my celly had it bad
So I had to have his back, niggas started fighting
And then they cut me on my hand
So I grabbed one from the back and I flung him off the landing
You know the screws get extra ruthless when you’re Black
Laying on my back, now the block’s feeling mad
Now I’m in a lab tryna do the best I can
Hold me, ah, this is my story, yes
Glory, yeah
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah
Said, first things first
I finna let you know that I been bad since birth
I heard it from the nurse
Looking and went searching through trials that occurred
Then I started working twice as hard
Having nightmares of the day I fall off
But I stick around like herpes, I ain’t letting up
With harmonies just like Bone Thugz, ooh
Hold me, ah, this is my story, yeah
Glory, yeah
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah
Glory, yeah
This is my story (Glory)
Indaba yami le (Glory)
This is my story (Glory)
Indaba yami le (Glory)
This is my story (Glory)
Indaba yami le (Glory)
This is my story (Okay, alright, on three)
