MaDlamini by M2KaNE Lyrics
[Intro]
Gladwin you're an angel
[Verse : M2kane]
I'm here to pander to a heart that has been vilified
That's always pampered me and harvested my inner fire
I wanna see you smile
Don't wanna see you cry
I wanna be the one who always let's your demons down
Relentless in your quest to make your baby fly
I'll always grind until I find a way to make you proud
Still trying to bargain with the horrors of a heavy ride
You always conquered through the trauma of a steady tide
You gave me laughter when a part of me was buried ground
You loved your daughter to thе corners of unsteady bounds
I couldn't watch it when my fathеr would just tear you down
I tried to hide but if I'm honest I heard every sound
It's been a scary climb
I've been unfairly trialed
I've gone through many frowns
Harboured a petty mind
We'd always talk when all my problems wouldn't let me shine
I'll always champion your honour with confetti pride
I thought I'd never ever make it out of varsity
You heard the way I spoke and killed the animosity
In all them days, student loans wasn't paying through
And I would sip on coffee that would masquerade as food
I was desperate for the Lord that I was praying to
And if we keeping it one hunnid' that remains the truth
I hated every minute of my graduation
Celebrating the illusion of a black who made it
I later realised my actions were just mad and hateful
How could I be that way with all you did to pass the baton
None of your dedication was fabricated
All I was educated was planned in patience
You understand the weight of where that could take us
And that's why you put the ground work on the man I shaped to
You brushed of all the hate you faced with animated grace
You radiate in ways that made me alienate the pain
I am so sorry for the ache you braved
I am so bothered by the way it came
I cannot change erase it to make it fade
All I can do is shape the future and embrace it's fate
The traits you scraped and chafed already make me great
It's safe to claim you can't be blamed to think I'm draped in shame
But look at the man you made me the way you paved
Don't have a way to word the gratitude you've laid in me
You have a heart of gold that's replicated with perfection
It's now been etched into my essence, it's been digested
You put a love into my heart that's bordered with progression
And that's why every time you speak I'm foraging for lessons
[Hook : M2Kane]
I'm serenading you at every opportunity
I'm celebrating you for you to know you're jewellery
Kumele ndithi kuwe ndiz'bonele ukuthi ndixabise imbeko noolothando endakhul'undinika
I'm serenading you at every opportunity
I'm celebrating you for you to know you're jewellery
Kumele ndithi kuwe ndiz'bonele ukuthi ndixabise imbeko noolothando endakhul'undinika
[Chorus : M2Kane]
One time for my momma
One time for you MaDlamini
I just wanna live the life I know you want for me
You get caught up in your mind so much I wonder if
You goin' ever see me shine
If you'll ever see the light I'll bring
I just wanna tell you now
You won't ever need to hide your dreams
Your dreams
You won't ever need to hide your dreams
Ey
Never need to hide your dreams
Gladwin you're an angel
[Verse : M2kane]
