“Ubaba noMntwana” is a deeply emotional Xhosa trap song that explores the relationship between a father and his child. Blending modern African trap music with the poetic depth of the Xhosa language, this African music piece reflects on authority, love and generational transmission.
Through urban beats and introspective lyrics, the song tells the story of a son who begins to understand his father only after becoming a father himself. This narrative mirrors a common experience across many African cultures where respect, discipline and silent care shape family bonds. The rhythm of African urban music gives this reflection a contemporary sound while preserving the emotional weight of traditional storytelling.

🎤 Lyrics
(Intro)
Yhoo ndandisoyika, kodwa ngoku ndiyazi
Ukuba ubaba akusosoyikiso
Uphakathi kwam, undikhulisile
Ngomzimba, ngentliziyo, ngentlalo
(Couplet 1)
Ndikhumbula xa ndandisencinci
Ubuso bakho buhlala buqinile
Ingxelo encinci, izwi elinzima
Kodwa uthando lwakho lwalunzulu
Ndandicinga ukuba awundiva
Kodwa wawusoloko undibukela
Ukundilungiselela ikamva
Ngendlela yakho, ngesandla esiqinileyo
(Refrain)
Ubaba wam, ndiyabulela
Ngengcebiso, ngelifa
Nam ndifuna ukufundisa
Njengokuba wena wandifundisa
(Couplet 2)
Ngoku ndinemntwana wam
Ndiyazama ukuziqhelanisa
Hayi ngengxelo kuphela
Kodwa ngeliso, ngentliziyo evulekileyo
Ndifuna ukuba ngubaba olungileyo
Hayi olugxekayo, kodwa onoxolo
Ndifuna ukuthetha, ukuncokola
Ukumamela ngaphandle kokoyikisa
(Refrain)
Ubaba wam, ndiyabulela
Ngengcebiso, ngelifa
Nam ndifuna ukufundisa
Njengokuba wena wandifundisa
(Couplet 3)
Kwimidlalo yethu yangeCawa
Ndiva into efana nentando yakho
Kukho umculo ngaphakathi kwam
Ofana nawe, uthule kodwa uqinisekile
Ndifuna ukumfundisa ukumamela
Ukuzimela, ukugcina igama
Ukuba yimfihlo yakhe noThixo
Kwaye ngam ndimele athwale eli lifa
(Pont)
Ngubani othi uthando luyimfama?
Ubaba uyayibona into ngaphambi kokuba uyiqonde
Uyayithetha ngeendlela ezinzulu
Kwaye ndifuna ukuyithetha naye
(Outro)
Ndiyinzala yakho, ubomi bam lusisandi sakho
Xa ndithetha, yinto oyifundisayo
Ndizakuyisa le nyaniso phambili
Ngobubele, ngothando, noxolo
