Sanibonani/The Stelow

[Intro]

Sanibonani

(Yebo)

Sanibonani

(Yebo yebo)

[Verse 1]

Walk the block with the talkbox in my chest

Echo through the speakers while the drums compress

One hand on the mic one eye on the sunrise

Zulu chanting waking up the whole block's eyes

Sawubona to the ones who stayed through the cold nights

Heard the beatbox breathing like it knows the fight

[Pre-Chorus]

When the bass thump rolling like the ocean tide

And the amapiano log drums keep us side to side

I'm counting every blessing that I carry inside

Sanibonani sanibonani

[Chorus]

Sanibonani can you hear me now

Roots run deep from Johannesburg down

Kingston rhythms with the Zulu sound

Sanibonani we still standing proud

[Post-Chorus]

(Ooh ooh)

(Yebo)

(Ooh ooh)

(Yebo yebo)

[Verse 2]

Mama said your name is your armor

So I wear it loud through the summer

Trapping in the city with my brothers

Every dollar counted by the numbers

Talkbox crying like a river flows

Amapiano keys keep the streetlights close

Beatbox heartbeat under every note

Sawubona when the sun first rose

[Pre-Chorus]

When the bass thump rolling like the ocean tide

And the drums lock in and we move as one inside

I'm lifting every voice till the morning light

Sanibonani sanibonani

[Chorus]

Sanibonani can you hear me now

Roots run deep from Johannesburg down

Kingston rhythms with the Zulu sound

Sanibonani we still standing proud

[Post-Chorus]

(Ooh ooh)

(Yebo)

(Ooh ooh)

(Yebo yebo)

[Bridge]

Hello my people

(Hello)

Hello my people

(Hello)

From the township to the island

We salute you with the rhythm

One family one fire

Sanibonani

[Chorus]

Sanibonani can you hear me now

Roots run deep from Johannesburg down

Kingston rhythms with the Zulu sound

Sanibonani we still standing proud

[Outro]

(Yebo)

Sanibonani

(Yebo)

We still standing
