And go God knows I try The pain is too much to bare Ubaba ekhaya too drunk to care With these hands of mine I work day and night for them I slave hard just to feed my fam God knows I try I wake up in the early am to make coffee for my white madam I stand tall and proud for what I have cause life ain’t fair To feed my fam I do what I ever I can Let’s take it back to my youthful years Before the struggle and the pain began My hubby was a young good man We met at school we were twelve back then Best friends, good lad, man he had a plan But things changed one night when the cops came through They took his dad and the kids could see This is it ngeke abuye aze endlini They just stared kodwa bebezothini He was a kid eqeda ukwenza usixteen He was a kid eqeda ukwenza sixteen He was on form for, for uform four But he couldn’t perform Wazinda umthetho nabama uniform Nanebehaviour wasn’t fitting the form Umzabalazo taught him not to conform Yes... this is when whites changed him 40 years later ngiwumfazi standing beside him I still answer when he calls cause I’m all that he needs God trusted me with him even blessed us with kids And I try The pain is too much to bare Ubaba ekhaya too drunk to care With these hands of mine I work day and night for them Slave hard just to feed my fam God knows I try I wake up in the early am to make coffee for my white madam I stand tall and proud for what I have this life ain’t fair To feed my fam I do what I ever I can My daughter hates me but I love to death Uzonda usuku when I brought her to earth When I would leave her in the early am She’d look at me ekhala, mama why you leave me with them Esho her brother and alcoholic dad But this is the life I chose Worked hard just to get you clothes We lost time never saw you grow I spent it all emakhishini just to get you those Ngibeke othayela kuloyomkhukhu that we all call home The sacrifices were to help leave the life that we live Made all the choices just to help you get all that i could give The compromises were to map a better life for you kids And I would do it all again ngoba ngumfazi onesbindi Your brother , he chose his path a grown man now And I could never ever save him, he is too deep now A mother still prays that these kids are safe somehow Though I can’t take the pain away and give you a better life I’ll still try... The pain is too much to bare Ubaba ekhaya too drunk to care With these hands of mine I work day and night for them I slave hard just to feed my fam And God knows I try I wake up in the early am to make coffee for my white madam I stand tall and proud for what I have this life ain’t fair To feed my fam I do what I ever I can You’ll know I try The pain is too much to bare Ubaba ekhaya too drunk to care With these hands of mine I work day and night for them I slave hard just to feed my fam You’ll know I try I wake up in the early am to make coffee for my white madam I stand tall and proud for what I have this life ain’t fair To feed my fam I do what I ever I can But God knows I try
