Story to Tell

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
