[Intro]
I love you ma
From the bottom, thank you
I see the love, I see your sacrifice in my children's eyes
They were born free - incredible!
[Verse 1]
Mama was a soldier, poppa was a preacher
That's a bible & a rifle, tell me that don't make believers
How do you get freedom? By evening the odds
Every evening she was cleaning the Kalashnikov
Show difficulty, she'd be there with much resolve
Taught me discipline, if they not with you, f*ck them all
If you assess I, I'm a product of the USSR
I seen a gun before a basketball
Son a cadre, only one of them made it
Some agent lace my daddy's whiskey with some foreign agent
Collapsed he gasped out on the doctor's lap
Apartheid operations erased; dark the past
They tell me that don't rub it up the wrong way
These corridors of power filled with cowards playin' comrade
The worst master was the former slave
Before cats said it's war again, the warrior was born again
I got good music on my radio (that's all I got)
You gave me freedom, I got a song you know
I can't match what you gave me, but I salute you ma
I love you
[Verse 2]
For whom the bell tolls
A four room hell hole
Bruises on the elbow
Contusions from the head blow
So was it (*) that made my mama fight ?
Yes and no , it really was the mess at home
My grandpapa drank, next door was a second home
Seven kids, but to the white man a kaffir boy
So granny got it all
Beaten up and assaulted
Treated like dog sh*t
The invisible victim of all this
Was not enough to sing a struggle song
(*) alive was just surviving on
These governors were up in arms
Born in (*) son of a soldier, uMkhonto
They taking pieces from the peace, what you at war for
Now tell me that don't rub you up the wrong way
When you can't tell the difference between enemies and comrade
And still my mama got the war face
I pray my diamonds soften the pains
Make warriors finally age
[Outro]
That's all I got Ma, love you
I can't thank you enough
To think you were like, younger than me
When you decided to, to go fight
Sacrifice your life for what you believed in
I love you ma
From the bottom, thank you
I see the love, I see your sacrifice in my children's eyes
They were born free - incredible!
