That's the life i knew
12 hands on half a loaf
That’s the life I knew.
I never complained
Everyday, the same crew.
A shack next door looked the same.
My garden only smaller
I never complained.
Only the hurdle-pole looked taller
Lundi the Gospel Fundi sobbed,
Whilst telling his story on TV.
I never complained
To me that was an Oscar performance.
My Father tells a tale of toil,
Growing up with no sandal to shoe
He never complained.
To him, that is the life he knew.
I am strong today,
I worked hard for my children.
I don’t want them to complain.
This is the life I now know.
