I have strict parents, of course sometimes I have to lie about where I'm going.

I have strict parents, of course bayanqaba mengifuna ukuvaka.

I have strict parents, of course angizenzeli or I risk ukuxoshwa ekhaya.

I have strict parents, of course sometimes I don't even ask cause I know the answer will be no.

I have strict parents, of course you wouldn't understand because yours aren't.

If there's something high school and varsity life has taught me,it's that we come from different homes. Our parents are not the same and we definitely don't hold the same values which means our morals are not the same. 

Your parents might allow you to go out whenever you want, mine don't. Your parents might be okay with you going out at night, mine aren't. Your parents might let you go out every month, mine would never. Your parents might let you have the freedom of going for a walk when you're not okay and need to clear your head, mine will tell me to go outside I'll get enough air from there. Yours might allow you to come back at whatever time you want, mine set a strict 5 o'clock curfew for me. 

Sure sometimes I will test the waters by trying to do what I want to do but it almost always ends badly. When I tell you abazali bami ngeke bevume don't tell me umzali uya train(wa). You don't think if I had a choice I would do whatever I wanted? If I tell you I can't do it cause mangase ngibanjwe the consequences will be severe, I mean it. Sure sometimes when they're not home I get a little freedom to do whatever but when I say I can't, I MEAN IT. 

Sure your parents might be "strict" when it comes to certain things, mine are strict with everything. When I say that'll get me in trouble you have no right to tell me I'm overreacting. I've known them my whole life so don't think you know them better than me. Yours might be strict but mine are overly strick

I have overly strict parents, of course when I have errands to run I'll stay longer in town because I need that time to breathe. 

I have overly strict parents, of course sometimes I dread going back house cause I feel like a prisoner in my own home.

I have overly strict parents, of course they take my needing air as me wanting attention. 

I have overly strict parents, of course you'll think I'm being dramatic.

I have overly strict parents, but you can never tell me how to deal with it because you've never walled in my shoes
