Coming Home

Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land I gotta give thanks for the people I have Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah! The streets could never, never never hold me down, yeah! Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land I gotta give thanks for the people I have Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah! The streets could never, never never hold me down, down. Ain't no better therapist for me I gotta go home Ain't no expert in depression but I gotta head home Went tip-toe to the telephone to catch your ring tone I'm just all alone, I say hello from the other side Will I ever swim? Am lost in tide Wish to catch a ride, home, you're my ride or die I'll never deny what you do to me You'll forever be that good to me Is it all the walls or the people? I will never know Maybe it's the love they show Ayikhw' indaw' egqith' ikhaya All the people I admire sitting all around the fire! You make me who I am, for you I've got a bigger plan Many things I've got to learn, still I have to push my pen I love you till the end, my home land Echibini where I hang out with my best friend Talking big dreams, big cars, just to reach stars Gotta stay wise, I be outchea spitting fire and be dropping sick bars! Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land I gotta give thanks for the people I have Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah! The streets could never, never never hold me down, yeah! Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land I gotta give thanks for the people I have Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah! The streets could never, never never hold me down, down. Yes am from the Eastern Cape Better put this sh**t on tape! I swear this place is my escape Respect to my fore fathers I'll be blooming like the spring flowers Grateful and beyond for all of these hours Ambition taller than all these towers Its a high, nothing like all these maruanas Missing my sisters, always longing for home where my heart is No need to worry Mama cause I know I got the keys She told me "Baby go and grab the cheese" You've got no one to please Money doesn't grow on trees Never go down on your knees Rather work ten times hard Put all your sweat and blood, even swimming through the mud Gotta know where you came from, Ziyawa where am from I'll miss you when am gone, goddamn I love this song! Sending all regards to my people in my home town You might have said am not enough, I be number one Holding it down in my Queendom till the sun is down Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land I gotta give thanks for the people I have Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah! The streets could never, never never hold me down, yeah! Am giving all the thanks to my home and my land I gotta give thanks for the people I have Cause the streets could never, never never hold me down yeah! The streets could never, never never hold me down, down.
