Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pick yourself up
I know it get tough
Gotta keep eyes on the dream
Family believe in me
I'm a diamond in the rough
Never giving up
Still I thank my enemies
Always keep me on my feet
[Verse 2]
Pick yourself up
I know it get tough
Gotta keep eyes on the dream
Family believe in me
I'm a diamond in the rough
Never giving up
Still i thank my enemies
Always keep me on my feet yeah
[Verse 3]
Pick yourself up dont give up babe
I know it's hard feel like you gonna die
Don't count yourself out babe
All the doubts in your head
Make yourself go crazy
Nothing going your way wenza ngathi you're okay
Awukaqedi wondering what you goin' do
Awusizeki in your heart you feelin' like
[Verse 4]
You aint making progress
You aint making progress
Progress
You aint moving forward
You aint moving for...
For...
[Verse 5]
Pick yourself up
I know it get tough
Gotta keep eyes on the dream
Family believe in me
I'm a diamond in the rough
Never giving up
Still I thank my enemies
Always keep me on my feet
[Verse 6]
Pick yourself up
I know it get tough
Gotta keep eyes on the dream
Family believe in me
I'm a diamond in the rough
Never giving up
Still I thank my enemies
Always keep me on my feet yeah
[Verse 7]
Mithandazo yethu ingath ayivakali
Indlela igcwele ameva
Ukufa kugcwele ilali
Bazokubamb'inkunzi befunana nemali
Mhlaba uzok'limaza ngeke ungakhali
[Verse 8]
Bulela umphefulo but it just aint fair
Khathel'ubuhlungu it just dont feeel right
Kumnyama kuqhuma uthuli
Iminyango kutheni ingavuli
[Verse 9]
You aint making progress
You aint making progress
Progress
You aint moving forward
You aint moving for...
Forward
[Verse 10]
Pick yourself up
I know it get tough
Gotta keep eyes on the dream
Family believe in me

Never giving up
Still I thank my enemies
Always keep me on my feet
[Verse 11]
Pick yourself up
I know it get tough
Gotta keep eyes on the dream
Family believe in me
I'm a diamond in the rough
Never giving up
Still I thank my enemies
Always keep me on my feet yeah
