Shed Say With Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Andy Grammer Lyrics

[Intro: Ladysmith Black Mambazo]
Ngiyamkhumbula umama wami
Ngiyamkhumbula umama wami
Ngiyamkhumbula umama wami

[Verse 1: Andy Grammer]
You never got to meet your grandma did ya?
Every night, I got you kissin' on her picture
Cuts me up that you will never listen
To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice
I could tell you she was quite the mixture
Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol
Truth is, she's right there in you
She's a part of you, you don't have a choice

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Grammer]
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words

[Chorus: Andy Grammer]
She'd say
"You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
She'd say
"You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
She'd say
"You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
That's what she'd say
[Post-Chorus: Andy Grammer]
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo

[Verse 2: Andy Grammer]
She said, "Take care of your sisters, I mean the whole world
Spend your days tryna lift up other girls
You came with love, a purpose, and your mother's curls
I'll be with you every step of the way, ayy
Don't live your life tryna blend in, stick out
Trust your gut and don't you get into those doubts
Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out
Just when you think the dark's here to stay"

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Grammer]
My dear, you will feel her
In your mind, you will hear her
And if she could use words, use words

[Chorus: Andy Grammer]
She'd say
"You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
She'd say
"You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
She'd say
"You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
That's what she'd say
[Post-Chorus: Andy Grammer]
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo

[Bridge: Andy Grammer]
She'd say, "Listen to your daddy
In his voice, you will hear me
I know he will sing my song to you
And know that I'm happy
And you'll always have me
I'm watching everything you do"

[Chorus: Andy Grammer]
She'd say
"You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"
She'd say
"You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"
She'd say
"You are so much stronger than you even think you are
Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"
That's what she'd say

[Post-Chorus: Andy Grammer]
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo
That's what she'd say
Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
[Outro: Ladysmith Black Mambazo]
