[Verse 1]
On my way to Jozi, I'm sitting in a Greyhound
I'm thinking about my future, ndibona izibane
Zikhanyela mna, excited but ndiyoyika
Ndikhalela umama
Untombi uxakiwe, will I make it ndiyazibuza?

[Chorus 1]
Bahambile bayile Egoli
Bayile apho kungabuywa khona
Bahambile bayile Egoli
Bayile apho kungabuywa khona

[Post-Chorus]
Hamba uphind' ubuye
Hamba uphind' ubuye
Hamba uphind' ubuye
Hamba uphind' ubuye

[Verse 2]
Impilo itshintshile uyabona
No longer the girl from the bus now
I'm famous now they love me
But some of them love to hate me
Wanting to drag me (Drag me down)
These shining lights won't (Shake me down)
Ndibulelel uBawo for blessings
To tell you the truth I'm still fighting the war (War)
Still fighting the war (War)
Ndisakhalela umama, sometimes ndixakiwe
Have I made it ndisazibuza?
[Chorus 1]
Bahambile bayile Egoli
Bayile apho kungabuywa khona
Bahambile bayile Egoli
Bayile apho kungabuywa khona

[Refrain]
Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?
Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?
Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?
Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?

Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?
Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?
Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?
Nguban' othe kuzoba lula?
