[Verse 1] Jonas, mfowethu, uyasazi thina We were raised on respect, s’taught to love abomama But every time you play her, uyaphula igama Now they see us in the street, bafuna uk’thanda kude You were flexing on the ‘Gram, acting like it’s nothing Breaking every promise, always busy bluffing Now every good man feels that cold shoulder We pay for your sins, as we’re growing older [Pre-Chorus] Ngoba wena udlala ngothando, mfowethu You turned her soft heart into a tattoo Now bosisi bathi, “All men the same” You changed your story to a family name [Chorus] Jonas, mfowethu, usidumazile Ngendlela oziphatha ngayo usihlazile Manje bosisi basibiza ngoJonas Ngenxa yamaphutha akho, Jonas (Asiyena uJonas!) Bosisi, give us a chance! (Siyanithanda, siyabakhathalela!) Asiyena uJonas! [Verse 2] I know you’re hurting too, kodwa that’s no reason To turn every summer into heartbreak season Every ghosted text, every broken vow Leaves another queen sayin’, “Never again now” We out here tryna build, not just play around Thina sifuna umshado, not another rebound But your late-night lies echo in her mind So she sees your face in every man she finds [Pre-Chorus] Hawu Jonas, khumbula lawo ma-lesson How to love with respect, not aggression Apologize proper, phenduka indlela Show them amadoda angaba yintw’ enhle impela [Chorus] Jonas, mfowethu, usidumazile Ngendlela oziphatha ngayo usihlazile Manje bosisi basibiza ngoJonas Ngenxa yamaphutha akho, Jonas (Asiyena uJonas!) Bosisi, give us a chance! (Siyanithanda, siyabakhathalela!) Asiyena uJonas! [Bridge] To all the sisters, siyaxolisa For every broken heart, every fake promise Not all of us are players on the same team Some of us are praying just to love you clean Siyafuna ukwakha, not destroy your peace Sifuna uk’nikeza uthando that will never cease Ngoba thina asifuni ukudlala ngani We want respect, unity, uhambo oluhle nani [Chorus] Jonas, mfowethu, usidumazile Ngendlela oziphatha ngayo usihlazile Manje bosisi basibiza ngoJonas Ngenxa yamaphutha akho, Jonas (Asiyena uJonas!) Bosisi, give us a chance! (Siyanithanda, siyabakhathalela!) Asiyena uJonas! [Outro] Jonas, mfowethu, please change your ways Turn all these dark nights into brighter days Let them see amadoda angahle abe right Respect and love shining through the night (Asiyena uJonas!) Bosisi, give us a chance! (Siyanithanda, siyabakhathalela!) Asiyena uJonas!
