[Produced by Neville Sigauke]

[Intro: Natalie Sigauke]
Sekuru Sekuru, Tiyitireyiwo ngano

[Intro: Neville Sigauke]
Once upon a time, a long time ago, In the 21st Century
There was Mbira Dze Hip Hop

[Hook: Neville Sigauke]
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano?
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano?
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano?
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano?

[Verse 1: Neville Sigauke]
Once upon a time somewhere in the Motherland
There was a boy, Born and Bred in the Fatherland
Ndiye light, Rinopenya in the darkest land
A son of the soil with the flow of no other man
Kwai hayi ane nzee anoteerera
Ka sound kanodakadza kemfana anoreketa
Sugar munzee kambo aka kanotapira
Gwenyambira ridza Mbira, Apana cheku emera
[Hook: Neville Sigauke]
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)

[Chorus: Neville Sigauke]
Can I kick it? Semwan' arimundani
Soul beats ndomakanga, Senyama irimupani
As I rise to the top, Sezuva mangwanani
Ndojekesa mubani, Mubani Sechibani

[Post-Chorus: Neville Sigauke]
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa

[Verse 2: Neville Sigauke]
Sticks and stones will not break my bonzo
Ini mudondo nange hondo nemukhondo
Nqondo pamapondo, Ndino shanda every svondo
Sechimodo chirimubhodo ndakatakura chimoto
Pese pando ptui, ndinosiya vaka thamba
Hip Hop ndakai thwara ngema khadza
Food for thought ndoyipakura se sadza
Your hunger shall be fed amumbosari munenzara
[Hook: Neville Sigauke]
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)
Ngano, Ngano, Ngano? (Ngano!)

[Chorus: Neville Sigauke]
Can I kick it? Semwan' arimundani
Soul beats ndomakanga, Senyama irimupani
As I rise to the top, Sezuva mangwanani
Ndojekesa mubani, Mubani Sechibani

[Post-Chorus: Neville Sigauke]
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa
Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Pa-pa, Paivapo, Pa

[Bridge: Neville Sigauke]
Ehe-eheka, You don't stop
Nketa 9 stand up and tell them we don't stop
Ehe-eheka, You don't stop
BYO stand up and tell them we don't stop, Yeah

[Outro: Neville Sigauke]
Straight out of Nketa 9, BYO
In the land of +263
Chipinge representing yeah, Ha!
