Sho Mfethu

Five years in Cape Town, now I'm back ekasi
Taxi rank loud, same old spaza
Grootman at the corner, "yoh, uyaphi?"
Sharp sharp, I'm home, ngihlala manje
Same old faces, same old jokes
Aunties calling from the washing lines
Little brother's taller than me now
Yoh, the kasi grew while I was out

Sho mfethu (sho!)
Heita, heita (heita!)
Ngibuyile ekasi
Sho mfethu (sho!)

Heita (heita!)
Sho sho (sho!)
Ngibuyile (ngibuyile!)
Heita (heita!)

Sho mfethu (sho!)
Heita, heita (heita!)
Ngibuyile ekasi
Sho mfethu (sho!)

Heita (heita!)
Sho sho (sho!)
Ngibuyile (ngibuyile!)
Heita (heita!)

Mama's gate still squeaks the same
Neighbours shouting out my name
Braai tonight, the whole street's coming
Ngibuyile, the drums are running
Old friends pull up in a Quantum
Grootman lights the fire, we're all in
Mama says "you're thin, come eat"
Pap and wors, I'm back on my street

Sho mfethu (sho!)
Heita, heita (heita!)
Ngibuyile ekasi
Sho mfethu (sho!)

Heita (heita!)
Sho sho (sho!)
Ngibuyile (ngibuyile!)

Sho mfethu (sho!)
Heita, heita (heita!)
Ngibuyile ekasi
Sho mfethu (sho!)

Heita (heita!)
Sho sho (sho!)
Ngibuyile (ngibuyile!)
Heita (heita!)

Cape Town was cool (sure)
But nothing like home (never)
Cape Town was cool
Ekasi is home
Cape Town was cool
Ekasi is home
Cape Town was cool

Sho mfethu (sho!)
Heita, heita (heita!)
Ngibuyile ekasi
Sho mfethu (sho!)

Heita (heita!)
Sho sho (sho!)
Ngibuyile (ngibuyile!)
Heita (heita!)

Sho mfethu (sho!)
Heita, heita (heita!)
Ngibuyile ekasi

Heita! (ngibuyile)
Heita! (ngibuyile)
