[Verse 1]
I know I said I was wishing you never had me
I take it back, I was only missing my daddy
I was missing my pops, my older G's
My mama tell me she missing the older me
I left home to double the groceries
But when I'm home I tell 'em I'm overseas
Wanna be alone and think of the memories
Thinking how life would be if my daddy was here with me
Yeah, who's gonna show me the way?
Who's gon' show me to stack my paper and not blow it away?
Who gon' show me to love my woman with all of my heart?
Who's gon' show me to build my family, not break it apart?
I don't know but, daddy, send me a sign
'Cause I'm getting pretty scared my son's life is gonna turn out like mine
I'm not sayin' I ain't tun out fine
I'm just saying we just needed more time
I love you and ndiyabulela

[Verse 2]
My mama raised me with everything that she has
I was missing my pops, but mommy really my dad
Struggling but we ain't knew it
We getting through it
Four kids, single mother, tell me, ma, how'd you do it?
Put me on everything even though she couldn't afford it
School started, I'm coming with new Jordans
Money running dry and I see it in her eyes, it hurt
But she just wanna see her baby boy fly
When she heard I'm getting high, I seen her cry
Could've left me alone but mommy stayed by my side
Helped me and prayed for me
I was feeling there's no way for me
Mama promised there's better days for me, eish
Ain't nobody above you
I hardly say it but listen, mama, I love you
I caused you pain, so I'm sorry for all the trouble
Thank you for staying strong through the struggle, ndiyabulela
[Chorus]

Mama ndiyabulela (Mama ndiyabulela)
Tata ndiyabulela (Tata ndiyabulela, tata ndiyabulela)
Mama ndiyabulela (Aw' mama ndiyabulela)
