    We lost a truly amazingly human being in Steve Biko. May we never forget his genuinely liberating ideas. I'm grateful to Simphiwe Dana for keeping his memory alive.

    Lyrics!
    chorus:
    Noba esisipaji
    Singenayw’ imali
    Ndosiphatha xa ndihamb’ eBantu Biko Street
    Wathi qala ngaphakathi
    Noba esisiqhova
    Singenasidima
    Ndosithwala dade
    Andinakuxelelwa
    Ngugi wandifundisa
    verse1:
    Andinayw’ imali
    Yokuthenga zonke
    (Ezazizezam azikhw’ eZazulwana)
    Kodwa ndakuthusa
    Xa kuthiwa makuyiwe
    (Kudala ndiw’ gangatha kuphil’ akuthengwa)
    Akuthengwa
    (Kuphil’ akuthengwa)
    Yintoni leyo
    (Kuphil’ akuthengwa)
    Khuza wena
    Asinakuyazi, hayi isimanga
    Nawe Mongameli
    Xa ubon’ abantu bakho
    (Unqandwa yintoni ungaphilis’ isizwe)
    Wena Mongameli
    Fundis’ abantwana bethu
    (Nants’ intw’ esay’ lwela ungathi ulibele)
    Sihamba nzima
    (Sihamba nzima)
    Siyazama
    (Sihamba nzima)
    Khuza wena
    (Ngathi sowubon’ indifanele le ndawo)
    (chorus)
    verse2:
    Sizwe esimnyama
    Soya njalo phambili
    (Soya njalo phambili xa sime sibanye)
    Sizwe esintsundu
    Ungayek’ ukukhathala
    (Kungaba kuphelile xa ungakhathali)
    Wawukhona
    (Wawukhona)
    Besithathela konke
    (Wawukhona)
    Sakhal’ inyembezi
    (Thina sobabini sivela eGolgotha)
    Emaphupheni nasezitoyitoyini
    (Singa singahlala siyikhangela ihambo)
    Ezingcingeni nasezinkonzweni
    (Siyakuzinceda siyikhangele ihambo)
    Hamba njalo
    (Hamba njalo)
    Sukoyika
    (Hamba njalo)
    Ngoba kufanele
    Zincede khawuleza lingekatshon’ ilanga
    (chorus)
    end…
