Gift

Most men's mission is to use 
Take away the purity and confuse
Not bearing in mind its God-given
But still do it anyway knowing they'll be forgiven
But i received a perfect ten 
Not just mine, everybody's
Wrapped in goodness and kindness 
And filled with love

Man of God, he is the ultimate
Genuine and pure
His love is all I need to be secured
In this dangerous world of greed and lust
He humbly waits for me
Gives me all the attention, considers me...
My feelings, you satisfy
Love thats so deep, keeps me alive
Washes away all pasts...
Brought to you by Corinthians

Gift from God, Siphiwe iNkosi
Njabulo yami, my happiness
Your life is significant
A blessing to all, a merit
My lifetime achievement 
I love you with all that i have and with all that i am.
King of my heart, my world's greatest
Unconditional love is what I give to you
Agape that conquers all, i will stick with you

Words can never say, i will show you
My one and only 
My forever
Infinity

To God be the Glory

Dlungwana son of Ndaba!
the greatest warrior of all times
conceived out of wedlock by his mother Nandi and his father
voracious one of Senzangakhona
son of Nandi kaBebe, the daughter of a Langeni chief
born in Langeni territory at the Nguga homestead

The scorpion of Phunga 
boy from  esiKlebeni homestead
who was cooked in the deep pot of Ntombazi
overcame Msikazi among the Ndimoshes
son of the Mhlathuze Valley and Langeni people

Mandla kaNgome
who moved to the Mthethwa people
grew up in the court of Dingiswayo

Axe of Senzangakhona
the warrior of Mhlathuze River
designer of the aniklwa
the king of KwaBulawayo, at the banks of the Mhodi,
in the Mhlathuze valley,

Young raging one of Nbaba!
the cause of Mfecane, Difaqane, Lifaqane
king of the centralized monarchy
builder of the Dukuza
undisputed, almighty ruler
