Inhlupheko Lyrics

Hello my child, I hope you are well
By the name of Doris thank you for coming
My granddaughter and I bought her a cold drink
But the cat is asleep in the fireplace thanks to the soul alive

My child, I apologize for wasting your time
You may be busy but I will not take time
Let the grandson bring the bed and let the uncle sit down
I don't know where to start but I asked to start over

Let's say I go and see my mother is full of grief
But the hard core holds the metal hot
The grandson plows and plows the field
We heard the cow go to bed and eat milk
My child, I do not say this because I was born to suffer
I make fun of it in public with flour and sugar
Some say that I am a witch
Silently I chased after them
I do not know how to be happy, but I will be happy in heaven

[Mduduzi Ncube]
How long will it be?
Poverty I cry day and night
I trust in you alone my creator
Jesus, you are my hope
Yes, it is difficult and hopeful
I have accepted the pain and the situation
My efforts will end in you
I will rest when I come to you

Joy
My life is hard
As you can see the graves all over the house left me
The baby on the back of his father denied it
Only my grandson and I are left
Let's go to the ruins
I know the saying is No Grave for Hunger
The baby my mother left her crying
The old man always asked where my mother was
He went looking for a part-time job
He never returned home

Baby it's harder than a week I ate
I cry for my granddaughter to come back from school hungry
But he works hard
Having a bright future
That you come out of poverty
But academics are always good
In fact, my son, I wish my father had taken me
But I will not abandon my grandchildren
You know my wish for them to study and pass
Here's a towel baby they didn't mean to cry

[Mduduzi Ncube]
How long will it be?
Poverty I cry day and night
I trust in you alone my creator
Jesus, you are my hope
Yes, it is difficult and hopeful
I have accepted the pain and the situation
My efforts will end in you
I will rest when I come to you

Ayy it comes out and goes down to me there is no difference
Yes, I grew up with a dream
I just kept quiet and listened in the service and sang hymns
My curse, my father caught the lizard
The bird of the house cried and cursed us
There are enough graves in the yard for me to say goodbye
They did not intend to be sad

I'm sorry baby it's not just a matter of complaining
Today baby we don't know we are going to sleep and eat
Something that can help me to sell in the ranks
I set the table for myself and collected money
Sometimes I can sleep there
I get up and sell in the morning
It's hard my child we live in poverty
I do not know my guilt in the world I am a sinner
But I have to admit, I have no happiness
Let me let you go baby before the sun goes down

[Mduduzi Ncube]
How long will it be?
Poverty I cry day and night
I trust in you alone my creator
Jesus, you are my hope
Yes, it is difficult and hopeful
I have accepted the pain and the situation
My efforts will end in you
I will rest when I come to you
