Lyrics of Ken Jou Waarde - Early B, ADAM

Ken Jou Waarde (original)

Sy was ‘n decent kind, sy’t nie nog baie goed gepraat nie
Sy was nooit soos die anders nie sy was nooit op die straat nie
Nooit gelike van visits nie of op en af met bratjies
En as sy jou sal greet dan doen dai kind dit ncakies
Ma erens in haar smile was iets net nie nca nie
Ek, ek kon dit spot ma ek wou haar net nie vra nie
Want buitekant het dit gelyk soos alles is net love
Ma die verhouding was nie duidelik tussen die toppie en die tannie nie
Want kanti leef die kind ‘n troublesome lewe
Sy moes haar eie toppie veg vir haar tannie se lewe
En kyk haar tannie is liefde blind sy soek ‘n man in haar lewe
Haar tannie wys haar jy moet loop dan stel jy almal tevrede
Sy bewe, trane rol, sy pak toe haar klere
Soen haar broertjie op die kop en sy kap maar ‘n sewe
Bel haar ou soos wa is jy nou ek soek jou nou in my lewe
En dis hoe dit begin dis waar dit alles gebeur het
En sy hou aan probeer om die donkerte te keer
But all she really wants is to fly away
En sy voel sy verdien, sy wens haar hart word raak gesien
Oh well I guess soon she’ll fly away
Ok sy bly nou by hom vir ‘n tydjie was alles fine
Ma soos die tyd stap sien sy ‘n change in die guy
Van hom suggestion was sy moes by die huis reside
Terwyl hy uit gaan en hard werk op daai 9 to 5
Die guy het lunch gekry, sy huis was skoon, sy klere was gewas
En as hy uit die span uit kom dan wag ‘n warme bad
Elke sondag was sy favourite plate geslat
Hy’t gelewe soos ‘n koning syt gewoel man alles was sharp
Ma skielik sommer skielik change daai outjie op haar gou
Sy’s in ‘n queue by die winkel hy dink sy’t ‘n ander ou
Die tee wat sy met liefde maak dit proe nou sommer flou
Plus sy moet hoor sy maak nie effort om haar mooi te hou nie
Hy los sy lunch nou by die huis, sy moan nie
Kom so laat die bad water is koud hie
Sy favourite plate is nou die hond se sousies
Plus die TV praat die meeste hulle sien nie die fout nie
According to haar het sy hom niks gedoen nie
Ma according to hom word niks reg gedoen nie
Sy’t ‘n ou soos haar pa but it looks like she can’t see the truth
Want sy’t nie wonde soos haar ma nie but she’s still being abused
En sy hou aan probeer om die donkerte te keer
But all she really wants is to fly away
En sy voel sy verdien, sy wens haar hart word raak gesien
Oh well I guess soon she’ll fly away
As jy sit in daai situasie vandag gan ek op my knieë en ek bid vir krag
Nie om terug te slaan nie, is om uit te stap
Want girl hy breek jou af en sonder hom jy’s beter af
En al is hy die broodwinner en sy geld maak jou world better
Forget dit baba jy deserve better
My hart se boodskap wil ek nou vir jou oordra nuh
Is van die dal af babygirl ken jou waarde
En sy hou aan probeer om die donkerte te keer
But all she really wants is to fly away
En sy voel sy verdien, sy wens haar hart word raak gesien
Oh well I guess soon she’ll fly away

(translation)

She was a decent child, she did not speak very well
She was never like the others she was never on the street
Never equal of visits or up and down with brats
And if she will greet you then that child will do it ncakies
Mom somewhere in her smile was something just not nca
I, I could mock it mom I just did not want to ask her
Because outside it looked like everything is just love
Mom the relationship was not clear between the top and the aunt
Because kanti the child lives a troublesome life
She had to fight her own top for her aunt's life
And look her aunt is love blind she is looking for a man in her life
Her aunt shows her you have to walk then you satisfy everyone
She was shaking, tears were rolling, she was packing her clothes
Kiss her little brother on the head and she just chops a seven
Call her guy like who are you now I'm looking for you now in my life
And that's how it started that's where it all happened
And she keeps trying to stop the darkness
But all she really wants is to fly away
And she feels she deserves, she wishes her heart was touched
Oh well I guess soon she’ll fly away
Ok she's staying with him now for a while everything was fine
Mom as time goes on she sees a change in the guy
From him suggestion was she had to reside at home
While he goes out and works hard on those 9 to 5
The guy had lunch, his house was clean, his clothes were washed
And when he comes out of the team then a hot bath awaits
Every Sunday his favorite records were beaten
He lived like a king sitting tumultuous man everything was sharp
Mom suddenly just suddenly changes that guy on her soon
She's in a queue at the store he thinks she's another guy
The tea she makes with love now tastes just as faint
Plus she needs to hear she's not making an effort to keep her beautiful
He's leaving his lunch at home now, he's not moaning
Come so let the bath water is cold here
His favorite plates are now the dog's sauces
Plus the TV talks the most they do not see the error
According to her, she did nothing to him
Ma according to him nothing is done right
She's a guy like her dad but it looks like she can not see the truth
Because she's not wounds like her mother but she's still being abused
And she keeps trying to stop the darkness
But all she really wants is to fly away
And she feels she deserves, she wishes her heart was touched
Oh well I guess soon she’ll fly away
If you're in that situation today I go on my knees and I pray for strength
Not to strike back is to step out
Because girl he breaks you down and without him you're better off
And even though he is the breadwinner and his money makes your world better
Forget that baby you deserve better
I want to convey my heart's message to you now nuh
Is from the valley babygirl knows your value
And she keeps trying to stop the darkness
But all she really wants is to fly away
And she feels she deserves, she wishes her heart was touched
Oh well I guess soon she’ll fly away
