Vimbs Momentous, Bokang Ramatlapeng - My Story Lyrics

Just the other day I say and thought
About my life , the victories won, lessons that were taught
Different ways, different routes I have walked
Some of it was smooth some of it I had to abort

My younger days for sure was fun and games
Never cared about responsibilities or dames
I knew at some point that hard work pays
Always had to stand my ground make sure that I was brave

Fast forward to my teen years I was a quiet being
I wasn't the type to have anybody close to me
I remember I was angry at God
That one day I told Him go to hell you're a flop

At that pointing time I was tired of being nice
I never cared if I was walking on thin ice
Whatever I did I did it without thinking twice
I never really cared about paying the price

Father only you can teach me the best that I can be
Hold my hand and open my eyes so that I can see
Hold me close don't let me go, give me hope I need that dose
Like a watered rose let your words help me grow

Nang' uVimbs udlu busha bakhe
Ezi baie be ba ngabeliev' ukuthi ukanje
Be ba bon'inxushunxushu all I saw is joy
A cycle of various things I couldn't ignore

Here's the part of my life where it got real
Out with my friends one night I almost got killed
Seconds away from a head on collision
Traumatized and shaky it would have been a bad condition

Made so many bad decisions bout my life
I was almost destroyed I don't wanna lie
The smile on satan face kept on stretching
It was only a matter of time the end is near

I once loved a girl who never loved me
She had my wallet and heart in a chokehold It wasn't healthy
I was willing to do anything for this girl
Little did I know I turn out to be a curse

Father only you can teach me the best that I can be
Hold my hand and open my eyes so that I can see
Hold me close don't let me go, give me hope I need that dose
Like a watered rose let your words help me grow

Here am I as a broken man
With a broken soul, broken dreams and broken plans
I'm on my knees praying hard with these broken hands
Asking for forgiveness and your guidance for this second chance

I know our relationship is filled with highs and lows
Yet you manage to teach me when I didn't know
You loved me even though I didn't deserve it
You didn't let go of me when I was hurting

Some people judge me of the battles I'm still fighting
Yet they don't know it's a process, it don't stop instantly
When I'm down and out they get excited
Quite frankly father honestly I'm sick of it

I do good things they sit back with their arms folded
But they shaken seeing me in public with those who drink
The same way they bashing you is how they bashing me
A hospital is not for the healthy it's for those who's sick

Yes Lord I know you care for me
I'm only human ,tryna get it right please bare with me
I've cut ties with a lot of people lately
I just couldn't bare the weight my God it was heavy

Kulama langa emhlaben' ku gcwel'intatheli
Mawubhayiza ba ringa ngawe goed indaba ayipheli
Angsa'nandaba nabo ringa more
As long ngi phethe wena Nkulungnkulu sure vel' I have it all
