Sbhova
Sbhova
Sbhova
Eish sho Sbhova
Usung′khohliwe yin wangziba nje ndoda
Mina beng'cathi sayimpintshi
And angik′khiphanga ngboshwa
Ngayfihla nentosha
Ukuze masphuma smashis idollar
Bangtshel ukuthi sewawa
That's why ubuna ngik'donsa
Mara aknak′ huzuka
Mak′khona dhobh iplaster eslonden
Ughabh ekhonen udambis idrug uykhomb' eskolen
Uyek ukphila ngokshay ikhanda ukhokhel emathunen
Inkinga zomhlaba izona ezik′holel ekfen
Ngayfojel ichain
And angkholwa ungaythanda njayam
Ukphila kahle ku scarce ubonga mawvuka ngaksasa
Exe gaz
Dala kanje gay' iOled leya shemthas, ungshiyel ikota
Khona mang knock(a) out nginqake
Phela mina nawe ulim namathe, itree neympande
Ngaphandle mawsuskima nezinye eydale ngaphandle
Phela mina angikaze ngik′lahle ngawe kphakam isthuph
Ngsazo phona mawneskhath ungvale sringe mathupha
Sho njayam

Babe ngyak'khumbula
Ngyaz mhlampe ngekukholwe
There′s not much I can do bangvalele kleyndonga
Knini ngzama ukuk'phonela you aint picking up, Why?
You're always busy or ukhohliwe yimina love wam?
It′s fine
Angshwabuli i′m just thinking out loud
I hope uMusa, uSenzo noNhlaka bak'bhekile lapho
Mina ngnoNkosi la ngaphakathi syaphanda kutough
Masphuma maduze
I wish ubungang nqaka nge hug
Unphathel uSisanda ngyazi i wasn′t there when her birth
And ngathi ngthand abangani more than a daughter
Wihth hand
It's not that
Angan bengzama inyuk yakphila ngendlela
Ngik′prove(ele)
I'll be your dad until the day that i′m dead
Uph naye
Ngimncanywa sharp with all that i have

Iminibus enenkinga that's just a minor problem I'll solve that
So ngyakcela keep dad in your head

Ohh
Knencwadi engibhalile ezofika in two weeks

Nazi angzami ukinthenga ngalento enzouthola kuSbhova
And ang′ghobozanga igaz noma unyembezi ngithola
Ngaythatha...

Dear Dolly

Sbhova
Sbhova
Sbhova
Man, Sbhova
You've been forgotten by your own blood, just like me
I was almost a thief
I almost got caught
I even hid the gun
So we could get out and make some dollars
They told me I fell
That's why I pull you close
But don't worry
There's still plaster in London
He takes drugs from the corner and shows them off at school
He stops living by shaking his head and paying in installments
The problems of the world are the ones that make you smoke
I added a chain
And I don't believe you can love me like this
Living well is scarce, you're grateful to wake up in the morning
Get some gas
Get that OLED TV, honey, leave me a quarter
Then I'll knock you out with kisses
Because you and I are like the tree and its roots
Don't mess with others you created outside
Because I never left you to chase after things
I'll call you when you close the syringe with your thumb
Just like this
●●●●
Babe, I miss you
I hope you believe me
There's not much I can do, they locked me behind these walls
I've been trying to call you, you ain't picking up, why?
You're always busy or you've forgotten about me, my love?
It's fine
I'm not complaining, I'm just thinking out loud
I hope Musa, Senzo and Nhlaka are looking after you
I'm with Nkosi here inside, it's tough
Let's get out of here soon
I wish you could hug me
Take care of Sisanda, I know I wasn't there when she was born
And it seems like I love my friends more than my daughter
With hand
It's not that
I was trying to live life my way
To prove
I'll be your dad until the day that I'm dead
You too
I pray for you with all that I have
I miss the family
Family
Don't worry about money
The minibus has a problem, that's just a minor problem I'll solve that
So please keep dad in your head
I love you baby

Ma
Ma hello
How are you, Ma
Please don't cry when you hear my voice
I've been trying to call you and I still can't get through
This thing is bothering me, I'm asking you, Ma
My aunt was close, she was lying to me
I don't know how you feel
Honestly, I'm ashamed
They wanted you to sit down and update them on this matter
Some saw me lying in bed
But nah
I wasn't calling to justify what I did
Ma, please
Look after Sisanda and Sli
Sbhova has something he will give you, please accept it
Don't smoke weed
Pray for me, I know it's hard
Ohh
There's a letter I wrote that will arrive in two weeks
Eish
This card is going to run out of dollars
You know I'm trying to buy it with what I'll get from Sbhova
And I didn't complain even when I shed a tear
I took...
