Iyabulela Ilali

Yabulela ilali ndaqala ndiseyi dyongo
I never lose hope yabulela ilali
Irap yesixhosa ngoku ise top yabulela ilali
Andisakhali no more ndipushi span oko yabulela ilali
Abahlali bonke phof inginqi zonke
Apho ndihamba khona bonke bathi bayakholwa
Bendi performa eNatala baye bathi baya bonga
Bathi bayandibona nzame zam bayazibona
Akho xesha lohlala abahlali bafuna more
Ndipheki ncasa zodwa ndingu Diba ndingu Zondwa
Ndisezo wina ndisezo nqoba ndisaphila andikazo stopper
Awunoyiba tu le sauce ndiyayi phila lubizo
Ewe ndithethi nyan zodwa ewe ndimeli EC yonke
Ewe ndiqale ndiseyi dyongo ewe ndikhule ndinokholo
Ewe ndikhuliswe ngu gogo ewe Big Hustle yi goat
Ye that's for sure abandixhasayo ndiyababonga

Yabulela ilali ndaqala ndiseyi dyongo
I never lose hope yabulela ilali
Irap yesixhosa ngoku ise top yabulela ilali
Andisakhali no more ndipushi span oko yabulela ilali
Abahlali bonke phof inginqi zonke
Ngoku ndiphili phupho lam ndithe kumama angaxhali
Nyana upushi spani futhi impilo ayisafani
Ngoku ndihamba ndawo ayavuleka ama cango
Futhi unyana bayamazi ndiphakamisi lali ndimeli bali lam
Hayi andilinganisi bani andiyazi ngendingubani
Ndibonga abalandeli bam
Ndisazi khumbula zonki ntsuku ndilala ndingatyanga
Ndisazi khumbula zonki ntsuku ndipusha ndingekho ekhaya
Ndiyazibulela zonke Grootmans eziye zandixhasa
Kraizie, OB, Lebo, Emtee ndingamlibali uStunner
Yabulela ilali ndaqala ndiseyi dyongo
I never lose hope yabulela ilali
Irap yesixhosa ngoku ise top yabulela ilali
Andisakhali no more ndipushi span oko yabulela ilali
Abahlali bonke hhof inginqi zonke

Iyabulela Ilali

I give thanks for the day I began doing what I love
I never lose hope, I give thanks for the day
I rap in Xhosa and now I'm on top, I give thanks for the day
I don't cry anymore since I'm back from a long break, I give thanks for the day
All the residents are balling, every single one of them
Everywhere I go, they all believe in me
When I performed in Natal, they gave me their thanks
They said they see me, and they see my hustle
There's no time to rest, the people always want more
I cook up my own sauce, I'm Diba, I'm Zondwa
I'm a winner, I'm a conqueror, I'm still alive and I won't stop
You can't steal this sauce, I'm going to keep it all to myself
Yes, I speak nothing but the truth, and I represent the whole EC
Yes, I started out weak, but now I'm strong and I have faith
Yes, I was raised by my grandmother, and Big Hustle is the goat
That's for sure, to those who support me, I thank you

I give thanks for the day, I began doing what I love
I never lose hope, I give thanks for the day
I rap in Xhosa and now I'm on top, I give thanks for the day
I don't cry anymore since I'm back from a long break, I give thanks for the day
All the residents are balling, every single one of them
Now I'm living my dream, and I tell my mother not to worry
My son is back home, and life is no longer the same
Now when I travel, doors open for me
And those who don't know me will know me, I'm representing my people
No, I don't compare myself to anyone, I know who I am
Thank you to my fans
I still remember the days when I went to bed hungry
I still remember the days when I was away from home
I thank all the Grootmans who have supported me
Kraizie, OB, Lebo, Emtee and I can't forget Stunner
I give thanks for the day I began doing what I love
I never lose hope, I give thanks for the day
I rap in Xhosa and now I'm on top, I give thanks for the day
I don't cry anymore since I'm back from a long break, I give thanks for the day
All the residents have their heads held high
