Lyrics
Take me back to the city that I call my city
– Ngibuyisele edolobheni engilibiza ngokuthi idolobha lami
Where everybody knows my name
– Lapho wonke umuntu azi igama lami
Take me back to the people that I call my people, yeah
– Ngibuyisele kubantu engibabiza ngokuthi abantu bami, yebo
I’m a long, long way from my city, my city
– Ngikude kakhulu nedolobha lami, idolobha lami
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
From my city, my city
– Edolobheni lami, edolobheni lami
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
This one goes out to the ones that feel like an underdog
– Lona uya kulabo abazizwa behluphekile
Used to write me off, now they changing up the dialogue
– Wayevame ukungibhala phansi, manje bashintsha ingxoxo
Raise a glass to the past and all them that we’re proving wrong
– Iseisa ingilazi esikhathini esidlule futhi konke lokho esikufakazela ukuthi akulungile
You can take me out the city, but I brought my fam along, yeah
– Ungangikhipha edolobheni, kodwa ngaletha udumo lwami, yebo
And the memories replay in my head
– Futhi izinkumbulo ziyadlala ekhanda lami
But I won’t let them burn me again
– Kodwa ngeke ngibavumele bangishise futhi
I came too far just to let go
– Ngafika kude kakhulu ukuze nje ngiyeke
Baby, I’m coming back home
– Baby, ngibuyela ekhaya
Coming back home
– Ukubuyela ekhaya
Take me back to the city that I call my city
– Ngibuyisele edolobheni engilibiza ngokuthi idolobha lami
Where everybody knows my name
– Lapho wonke umuntu azi igama lami
Take me back to the people that I call my people, yeah
– Ngibuyisele kubantu engibabiza ngokuthi abantu bami, yebo
I’m a long, long way from my city, my city
– Ngikude kakhulu nedolobha lami, idolobha lami
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
From my city, my city
– Edolobheni lami, edolobheni lami
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
And my city knew my name before the name came
– Futhi umuzi wami wawulazi igama lami ngaphambi kokuba igama lifike
Living in the fast lane, ain’t have to change lanes
– Ukuphila emgwaqweni osheshayo, akudingeki ukuba ushintshe imigwaqo
Had a hoodie on my head before the rain came
– Ngangine hoodie ekhanda lami ngaphambi kokuba imvula ifike
Sometimes family and friends, that’s the same thing
– Ngezinye izikhathi umndeni nabangane, lokho kuyinto efanayo
I thought I knew all about pain ’til the pain came
– Ngangicabanga ukuthi ngazi konke ngobuhlungu kwaze kwafika ubuhlungu
But I’m still in the hall of fame ’cause I ain’t hate the game
– Kodwa ngisesehholo lodumo ngoba angiwuzondi umdlalo
Never care about what it is or what it was
– Ungalokothi ukhathazeke ngokuthi kuyini noma ukuthi kuyini
Never live your life in fear, livin’ love for my city
– Ungalokothi uphile ukuphila kwakho ngokwesaba, uphila uthando ngomuzi wami
Shed tears and shed blood
– Khala izinyembezi futhi ukhiphe igazi
In my city, I lost the ones that I loved
– Emzini wami, ngalahlekelwa yilabo engangibathanda
Take me back to the city that I call my city
– Ngibuyisele edolobheni engilibiza ngokuthi idolobha lami
Where everybody knows my name
– Lapho wonke umuntu azi igama lami
Take me back to the people that I call my people, yeah
– Ngibuyisele kubantu engibabiza ngokuthi abantu bami, yebo
I’m a long, long way
– Ngingumuntu omude, omude
Take me back to the city that I call my city
– Ngibuyisele edolobheni engilibiza ngokuthi idolobha lami
Where everybody knows my name
– Lapho wonke umuntu azi igama lami
Take me back to the people that I call my people, yeah
– Ngibuyisele kubantu engibabiza ngokuthi abantu bami, yebo
Yeah, I’m on my way to my city, my city
– Yebo, ngisendleleni eya edolobheni lami, edolobheni lami
Ooh-ooh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
– Ooh-ooh (yebo, yebo, yebo)
Ooh-ooh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
– Ooh-ooh (yebo, yebo, yebo)
Ooh-ooh (take me back, take me back, take me back)
– Ooh-ooh (thatha me back, thatha me back, thatha me back)
My city, my city
– Idolobha lami, idolobha lami
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
– U-Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (my city, my city)
– Ooh-ooh (idolobha lami, idolobha lami)
My city, my city
– Idolobha lami, idolobha lami
Ooh-ooh (take me back)

Ooh-ooh (take me back)
– Ooh-ooh (ngibuyisele)
