Pre-One of these days...
The sun is gonna shine on me
One of these days...
The sun is gonna shine down
Weh mama
Weh mama
Ngelinye ilanga
iLanga liyokhanya
Come with me as re-walk the paths of my life
The steps I took before I crossed paths with a
mic
Raised by a single mother, itymer lidle
phantsi
Happy family days ended, angazi kanjani
I just knew that he was good at sticking fists
in her face
Angim'ringi blind yi-waar, mom was sick of
the taste
'96 it was, ngavuka itymer lingasekho
Divorce papers on the table, izinto azivayi
ngohlelo
Daddy was gone, I heard a song, life goes on
Met a new wife and a new life was born
I was without him and he's without us
Okay right, itymer alisekho in mom's we now
trust
Pleasures like making love to her man were
now crushed
Cos everything she was thinking was for or
about us
The love that was stronger than steel would
now rust
And now we had to make a life for ourselves
without pops but...
Pre-One of these days...
The sun is gonna shine on me
One of these days...
The sun is gonna shine down
Weh mama (I keep walking, I keep walking)
Weh mama (Sun is gonna shine on me)
Ngelinye ilanga (I keep walking, I keep
walking)
iLanga liyokhanya (The sun is gonna shine
down)
See, the second born child of this broken
home
Would prove troublesome like Beckham with a
broken bone
He was trying to hold his own, bam'gcuza
esgela
Wadabula iletha, uyazi umagriza uzomnyela
So drastic measures really had to be taken
This kid was facing the racid demons of
satan
No one really knew what for him, was waiting
Up until a studio came to the hood he was
based in
Oledi lenzeni? Liphandane namasheleni for
intwana engalaleli, enomqondo obheke
eceleni
His mother said life was nothing but a big
test
And for her, he would pass it and that's his
real quest... ah!
Pre-One of these days...
The sun is gonna shine on me
One of these days...
The sun is gonna shine down
Weh mama
Weh mama
Ngelinye ilanga
iLanga liyokhanya
And when the sun comes out (when the sun
comes out)
When the clouds burn up (when the clouds
burn up)
They're gonna learn my name
And I know...
I gotta be strong (strong)
I gotta hold on tonight (gotta hold on, yeah)
I know...
We're gonna have a mad time
(I keep walking!)
(I keep walking!)
Pre-One of these days, I know...
The sun is gonna shine on me
One of these days, I know...
The sun is gonna shine down
One of these days, I know...
The sun is gonna shine on me
I gotta be strong, I know...
The sun is gonna shine down
Weh mama (I keep walking, I keep walking)
Weh mama (Sun is gonna shine on me)
Ngelinye ilanga (I keep walking, I keep
walking)
iLanga liyokhanya (The sun is gonna shine
down)
So come with me as I re-walk the paths of my
life (Weh mama)
The steps I took before I crossed paths with a
mic. (Weh mama)
(Yeyi, yeyi!)
