(Natotela Lesa...)
They talked their talk, but God stood by me.
Yeah. Hallelujah!
When the dark clouds gather over my head
And the enemies try to put dirt on my name
They spread those lies, they wanted me dead
Disrespectful rumors, trying to cause me shame
But my Mayo and my Tata, they stood so strong
They wore my embarrassment when everything went wrong
They told me, mwanangu, keep your head up high
Lesa in heaven will never let you cry
So I say Natotela! Thank you to my Lord above!
For my family, and their endless love!
I promise to be loyal, I will never turn away
You lifted me up in my darkest day
Oh, Natotela! (Amen!)
Oh, Natotela! (Hallelujah!)
The ones I trusted, they sold me out for free
Speculating stories that were never about me
But family love is deeper than the deep blue sea
With God on my side, who can be against me?
Through the hard times, they gave me the ginger to stand
Holding my hand in the promised land
So I say Natotela! Thank you to my Lord above!
For my family, and their endless love!
I promise to be loyal, I will never turn away
You lifted me up in my darkest day
Oh, Natotela! (Amen!)
Oh, Natotela! (Hallelujah!)
Mayo, Tata, I love you.
Lesa, I am yours forever.
Natotela mukwai.
Amen.
