Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Damini

Happy birthday to you

How old are you now?

 

(Oh, man)

Glory, yeah

Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah

Lately, I’ve been fucked up, been havin’ a hard time

Like back when my dawg died

Felt my heart split apart like apartheid

I could have survived, thug life full of combine

Hold it down, I was sentenced by the crown

And I never used to smile, though I never used to frown

Ten toes on the ground, what the hell?

My life came turnin’ around from runnin’ wild in my town to the glory

 

Hold me, ah (Ngiphakamise)

This is my story, yeah (Indaba yami le)

Glory, yeah

Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah

 

I remember when they shipped me from the cans

To Chelmsford HMP and my celly had it bad

So I had to have his back, niggas started fightin’

And then they cut me on my hand

So I grabbed one from the back and I flung him off the landing

You know the screws get extra ruthless when you’re Black

Layin’ on my back, now the block’s feelin’ mad

Now I’m in a lab tryna do the best I can

 

Hold me, ah, this is my story, yes

Glory, yeah

Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah

 

Said, first things first

I finna let you know that I been bad since birth

I heard it from the nurse

Lookin’ and went searchin’ through trials that occurred

Then I started workin’ twice as hard

Havin’ nightmares of the day I fall off

But I stick around like herpes, I ain’t lettin’ up

With harmonies just like Bone Thugz, ooh

 

Hold me, ah, this is my story, yeah

Glory, yeah

Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, ah

Glory, yeah

 

This is my story (Glory)

This is my story (Glory)

Indaba yami le (Glory)

This is my story (Okay, alright, on three)
