Yeah, check the vibe
It’s heavy on the heart today
For the legend, Nelson Azwifarwi Fumani
Rest in peace, Baba
Listen close
Walking through the township streets tonight
Thinking ‘bout the man who held the light
Nelson Azwifarwi, you were more than a dad
You were the best friend that I ever had
You looked at me and saw a gift, a sign
That’s why you named me Shudufhadzo, a life so divine
A blessing in your eyes, that’s what you said
These memories are playing inside of my head
Oh, Nelson Azwifarwi Fumani
Your spirit still heals the soul of many
A guide, a protector, a healer of the pain
I’m calling your name through the pouring rain
Your wisdom lives deep inside of my chest
Rest in peace, Father, find your eternal rest
You used your hands to bring peace to the crowd
Your words made our home stand tall and proud
You gave us strength when the days were gray
Guided our steps so we wouldn’t go astray
I see you in the shadows, I feel you in the wind
A bond that is broken, but somehow mended within
I’m your baby boy, carrying the flame
I’ll always be proud of the Fumani name
Oh, Nelson Azwifarwi Fumani
Your spirit still heals the soul of many
A guide, a protector, a healer of the pain
I’m calling your name through the pouring rain
Your wisdom lives deep inside of my chest
Rest in peace, Father, find your eternal rest
Ancestors walk with you on the other side
I walk with you too, there’s nowhere to hide
From the love that you planted, the seeds that you grew
Everything I do is a tribute to you
Your voice is the whisper that keeps me on track
I’m missing you daily, wishing you were back
But I know you’re watching, I know you are near
Your name will never fade, it’s crystal clear
Time moves on but the heartache stays
I’m counting the lessons through all of my days
From the house in the corner to the world so wide
I carry your courage right here inside
Shudufhadzo Fumani, your legacy stands
Built on the work of your healing hands
Sleep now, Father, the journey is done
You are the moon and you are the sun
Oh, Nelson Azwifarwi Fumani
Your spirit still heals the soul of many
A guide, a protector, a healer of the pain
I’m calling your name through the pouring rain
Your wisdom lives deep inside of my chest
Rest in peace, Father, find your eternal rest
Yeah, Nelson Azwifarwi Fumani
Rest well, Baba
It’s your boy, Shudufhadzo
Always remembered, never forgotten
In the spirit, in the soul, forever
Kwaito for the king
Rest well
