/First Verse/
Nga’ zalelwa eMpumalanga,
Khumbula elinye ilanga ngi’sase yintwana nga vaya ekhahya’ nga shiya umama ekhala nga ngcina ngingana bazali,
ngi bloma nabangani ngithi ngizama ukwenza imali,
nginga khoni uku’thola isipani nase ndlini ngingena Voorstan mina
nama’genge besi phanda siphuma singena ngapha na ngapha
nga thola ibhadi bang”bambha ngelinye ilanga ngisa lele
ngi gcabanga bangithi ngiya phaphama ngiya bheka naba amaphoyisa ayavela sthatha asise ejele
ngoba bathi mawu’yindonda mela uzikhulumele uyimele uyifele into yakho
ngoba in life the aint no such thing as luck and two wrongs don’t make it right
manje sekhumbula ekhaya and all the things I could have done
bheka manje sekunjani seku’shubile abesekho nabangani
mari unga wari ngoba nou I am going back home right where I belong
damn it’s been along time and miss you so.
/Chorus/
If only you knew
How much I do, do miss you X2
/Second Verse/
/Second Verse/
Fede fokol akuna nix
ama chill and relax ngiyekele uku stressa about the past,
I know my life used to be a mess
ngi bloma namagens sjumpa amafens clever ubungeke ungenze nix,
I used to think I was the best and if you tried to test me I put my foot on your chest
skiphele ivest siku gwaze ngo mese ugcwale mo nga gcwali and live you a mess
and I must confess ngoba bathi lomhlaba uyahlaba,
that’s why I asked God to give me the power,
cos sometimes name ngino kufila ngathi ngiya saba
cos never know what might happen in the next minute or hour,
that’s why I thank God for umama no baba nogogo nomkhulu
manje sengi khulile ngiyi ndoda emadodeni angisa blomi emakhoneni,
phuzi ibhiya emagontshini sengi tshintshile
i want a better future for me and my family,
the devil is my worst enemy trying to come after me
for zonke izinto bengi’zenza before say no more.
/Chorus/
If only you knew
How much I do, do miss you X2
/Third Verse/
Sengiyabona manje ngathi nginga buyela emuva ngi tshentshe isikathi,
go back to the days where are used to be a kid
e kasi ngoba sesiphila fast nase strateni ku rough,
they say you gotta be tough and when push comes to shove,
you gotta fight for your life,
nomadala washo kumi no matter what show your family love
cos there aint no place like home,
and bongi bona nginje its because of where I am from
and I will never ever forget where I come from
na ngoba izinto zinga tshentsha I will always be the same,
they say no pain no game,
the things we do for the fame
for abantu basesi’tradeni mina sengi sebenzela e jardenini
ngoba iskhathi samapopayi siphelile manje kwasho no gauzeni,
mina sengi buyela back edladleni njenge ntwana esemzini
angisa blome emahontshini nabo skhotheni
mina sengi buyela back edladleni njenge ntwana esemzini
angisa blome emahontshini nabo skhotheni
/Chorus/
If only you knew
How much I do, do miss you X2

Yem...ho...hum
Yem...ho...hum x4
/First Verse/
Ima about to take em back to birth of the sound,
where our ancestors used shout and chant, while following to the rhythm of the heart of the beat,
while clapping their hands and stumping their feet,
planted the seed in the garden of eden,
from Adam and Eve now we spread overseas,
mzansi for sure that’s what I represent,
the motherland that made me the man I am,
and I am proud to say that I am African,
cos I know that I can and I have always been,
a fan of my old culture they aint another place in the world,
where I rather be cos in my own country we got eleven official languages,
some speak zulu, some speak xhosa, some swati, sotho,
tswana, pedi, Ndebele, venda, English, Afrikaans and tshangane
and if you didn’t know by now you better ask somebody
cos everybody is welcome to the motherland party
and you know nothing hotter than a tshisa nyama,
especially in summer when the sun is shining,
and it don’t matter whether you got a lil bit of money
cos in joburg city everybody got something,
when you go to capetown everybody looks stunning ,
when you hit durbs man in the beach you gotta love it,
when see the pretty girls looking hotter in their bikinis,
you can even ask Ludacris where the pretty girls in world are and he will tell you, damn.
/Hook/
Yem...ho...hum
Yem...ho...hum x4
/Chorus/
They are the scatterings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
I love the scatterings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
I love the scatterings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun
/Second Verse/
When say heita da you say hoesit da, heita da hoesit x5(The whole line),
gotta love the culture blow your vuvuzelas cos rekaofela and it don’t matter wheter you black or white, coloured or indian weall living in the same country so we equal,
even though we gotta lot of different kinds of people,
its hard sometimes but we try to leave peaceful,
Nelson Mandela made change and made history,
so we can all be free in the country full of racists,
I have been a lot places seen a lot of faces but there aint another place in the world
like SA mama se mama sa mam kusa,
cos we are the( scatterings of Africa),
deep into the roots of the core of our soul and stick and stone may break our bones
but what cant kill us makes us strong,
and no matter what the weather we gonna carry on
and whole wide world will sing our song as we(Journey to the sun).
Fire below we live forever dreams of what we where!
