Ancestors Lyrics by HHP

Dumela

2009

[Intro]
Who's playing, man?
Hehehe, you like it?
You can play with that, huh?
Chesa!

[Chorus]
Yo, go ahead boss flex that skill
But know your ancestors pele
Ha o sa mfeele say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)
Go ahead, son, drive that wheel
But know your own background pele
Ha o sa mfeela say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, straight from Zabala (From Zabala)
To Nyarimbe where we dead forced le ba Mahala
Our hearts burn like makgala
And so we walked on by to Gauteng daar kgakala
Re batla matikinyana (Tikinyana)
Re bereka khuting re sa kenya le kit-nyana (Kikinyana)
Baba ngoe ba itsinyana gore ko re tswang re baie
Mo re teng re bietjienyana
Then moruti came down like pula
Ntate-moholo Jay a decide-a ho dula
Ana le bana, bana le bana ba dula
Ba ba le bana, hwa tswa Hip Hop Pantsula wa (Motjopi)
Freestyle ka dori, representing Maftwon to manyora Pitori
Ke Jabba-man ha ke claim bokgosi
Re tlile re le baie, nou ke bowa ke le nosi

[Chorus]
Yo, go ahead boss flex that skill
But know your ancestors pele
Ha o sa mfeele say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)
Go ahead, son, drive that wheel
But know your own background pele
Ha o sa mfeela say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)

[Verse 2]
From kgosi Mokgatle (Mokgatle)
Le baruti ba go tswa kgakala ba tlotse mawatle (Watle)
Sekete le bana ba tle, ho kolobediwa
Tsohle tse ba di dumelang ba di lathle (Latlha)
A utlwa lefokonyana (Lefokonyana)
A re berekeng maybe re kgone ho kgobokanya (Kgobokanya)
Mo motseng ha tokafala (Fala)
Ese kgale motse o wa kgona ho rekwa ka pampitshana (Pampitshana)
Then bophelo ba itswelela fela
Rre mokgolo Mpananyana lelomo le tshega
Bana le bana, basimane le ngwanyana fela
Bana le bana ga tswa Jabba le banyana fela, ba (Motjopi)
By-product ya go stompie
Representing Radebe le lesika la mboni (Le lesika la mboni)
I'm just saying bodidi ha ke bo lore
Re tswile mo go bone now we going for glory, bona

[Chorus]
Yo, go ahead boss flex that skill
But know your ancestors pele
Ha o sa mfeele say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)

Go ahead, son, drive that wheel
But know your whole background pele
Ha o sa mfeela say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)

Go ahead, boss, get that deal
But know your ancestors pele
Ha o sa mfeele say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)

Go ahead, son, make pampiri
But know your whole background pele
Ha o sa mfeela say (Yeah, right!)
And ha o mfeela, boss just (Go!)

[Outro]
Ke nna selepe sa makhakhane marema ka pina
Se reng se rema go ntse go tswa pina
[?]
Mme a nkagela puo, rre a ntjesa pina
Ka rema ka tsona dichaba
[?]
