Mother
I remember Ma
She doesn't judge (I remember Ma)
I'm not ready
I remember Ma
She doesn't judge
I remember Ma
They talk about the old man so much, they forget about Ma
Hey brothers, you won't understand
The old man talks so much, they forget about Ma
Hey brothers, you won't understand
They'll be happy when I arrive
Says Shembe is alive
In this dangerous world, my child, I'm happy you arrived alive
Put down the snuffbox
Burn the incense for Gogo in the yard
I'll wash and talk to the elders, tell them you're in trouble
Close the door at home, we're done with the chores
When you return to Joburg, please take me to the theater because you'll really impress me
Ma knows, she doesn't have a problem
She won't refuse, she'll love me
It will be a blessing for me that you were there, my mother, when I got married
Because you'll be able to show me when I return to weddings
Because you'll be able to comfort me when I return to weddings
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I remember Ma
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I remember Ma
They talk about the old man so much, they forget about Ma
Hey brothers, you won't understand
The old man talks so much, they forget about Ma
Hey brothers, you won't understand
What I love at home is that at home it's not about money (about money, yeah yeah)
Even if I don't work, Mama loves me unconditionally
(She loves me unconditionally)
Even if the world hits me, she'll comfort me saying my child don't cry (don't cry)
You look at the plate and you say I'm full, sit down and eat, father sit down
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I remember Ma
I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
I remember Ma
They talk about the old man so much, they forget about Ma
Hey brothers, you won't understand
The old man talks so much, they forget about Ma
Hey brothers, you won't understand
