Yanga Chief “WHAT IF? (MNGANI)” Lyrics
Myekeni apheke
Myekeni apheke
Yeah
What if, God didn’t?
What if I had never been blessed beyond limit?
What if I was always depressed and not livin’?
What if “Skwatta Kamp: Eskhaleni” was unwritten?
And all I ever had to reflect was Bob Dylan?
Josiah just decided to rest and not finish
Siya wasn’t up to the test and not winnin’
Tshabalala said in his head he can’t hit it
Bafethu, it’s all relative, eish
What if Tyla just decided to wait?
What if Kiernan couldn’t stomach the hate?
What if Bouga Luv had never been saved
And still in love with the game?
Etsalatsalwa yi fame?
What if, Emimen ad stuck with a 9 to 5?
If Chester wasn’t playin’ in ’95?
If Philemon Masinga was called offside?
And Doctor was injured, would you have ever seen Barker fly?
And Brenda Fassie wasn’t obsessed with show business
And all that Winnie wanted was cheques and more children
And Caster said, “You **** correct, we’re not women”
And Jabba didn’t faka Nyovest, they can’t sebenzisana
I stand steady on business in everything that I done
I can’t imagine Madiba not being a prodigal son
I left Komani with a vision and now I’m back as as Dyan
What if?
Mngani (Mngani)
Langa lusithela sabangani (Ngani)
Mngani (Mngani wami)
Mngani (Mngani)
Silala sithandazelela na bangani
Mngani (Mngani wami)
Wemnta kaMama
Into yakuthi
Where would I be now
Ngaphandle kwakho?
Wemnta kaMama
Into yakuthi
Where would I be now
Ngaphandle kwakho?
What if I was Yanga ndi nje, and not Chief?
What if I was never prepared to love me?
What if I was thinkin’ of death and not peace?
Cold heart, living with fear and can’t breathe
What if I didn’t move with the North side?
If I had a problem being cool with the horse ride?
Eish, I couldn’t do what we all like
If I never knew uNkulunkulu namadlozi wami
And O.R Tambo said, “Miss me”
I’m focused on my daughters and my son, and they miss me
If Zuma wasn’t part of the big three
If Solomon Mahlangu had quick feet
If Thixo ain’t decided to gift me a gift?
You gotta think about it, what if?
If everybody tried to forgive?
If I had not inspired a generation of writers to celebrate
Amalanga bafwethu?
Mngani (Mngani)
Langa lusithela sabangani (Ngani)
Mngani (Mngani wami)
Mngani (Mngani)
Silala sithandazelela na bangani
Mngani (Mngani wami)
Wemnta kaMama
Into yakuthi
Where would I be now
Ngaphandle kwakho?
