The way I feel sometimes it’s too hard to sit still
– The way i’m feeling ngamanye amaxesha kunzima kakhulu ukuhlala phantsi
Things are so passionate, times are so real
– Izinto zinomdla kakhulu, amaxesha ayinyani
Sometimes I try an chill mellow down blowin’ smoke
– Ngamanye amaxesha ndizama ukutshaya i-pellet grill
Smile on my face but it’s really no joke
– Ncuma ebusweni bam kodwa ayisiyonto ihlekisayo
You feel it in the streets, the people breathe without hope
– Uziva ezitratweni, abantu baphefumla ngaphandle kwethemba
They goin’ through the motion, they dimmin’ down, they focus
– Bayehla, bayehla, abayehla, abangeyehla
The focus gettin’ clear and the light turn sharp
– Gxininisa ngokucacileyo kwaye ukukhanya kujika kube bukhali
And the eyes go teary, the mind grow weary
– Kwaye amehlo ayanyikima, ingqondo iyadinwa
I speak it so clearly, sometimes ya don’t hear me
– Ndithetha ngokucacileyo, ngamanye amaxesha andiva
I push it past the bass, no nations gotta feel me
– Ndiyayiphosa ngaphaya kwe-bass, akukho zizwe ezifanele ndizive
I feel it in my bones, black, I’m so wide awake
– Ndiva emathanjeni am, mnyama, ndivuke kakhulu
That I hardly ever sleep, my flows forever deep
– Ukuba andikaze ndilale, ukuhamba kwam kunzulu ngonaphakade
And it’s volumes or scriptures when I breath on a beat
– Kwaye yimiqulu okanye izibhalo xa ndiphefumla ngesibetho
My presence speak volumes before I say a word
– Ubukho bam buthetha imiqulu phambi kokuba ndithethe igama
I’m everywhere, penthouse, pavement and curb
– I’m everywhere, penthouse, pavement kunye nokuthintela
Cradle to the grave, talk’ll lead you on a shell
– I-Cradle engcwabeni, intetho iya kukukhokelela kwiqokobhe
Universal ghetto life holla black, you know it well
– Ubomi be-ghetto yendalo iphela mnyama, uyazi kakuhle
Quiet storm, vital form pen pushed it right across
– Isaqhwithi esithe cwaka, ifom ebalulekileyo usiba walityhalela kude
Mind is a vital force, high level right across
– Ingqondo ingamandla abalulekileyo, inqanaba eliphezulu ekunene
Shoulders the lions raw voice is the siren
– Ingonyama ingonyama ingonyama ingonyama ingonyama ingonyama nengw ‘ enamabala
I swing round, ring out and bring down the tyrant
– Ndajika, ndajika, ndajika phantsi kozwilakhe
Shocked, a small act could knock a giant lopsided
– Ukothuka, isenzo esincinane sasinokunkqonkqoza isigebenga
The world is so dangerous, there’s no need for fightin’
– Ihlabathi liyingozi kakhulu, akukho mfuneko yokulwa’
Suttins tryna hide like the struggle won’t find ’em
– Suttins tryna fihla ngathi umzabalazo awuyi kubafumana
And the sun bust through the clouds to clearly remind him
– Kwaye ilanga ligqabhuke emafini ukumkhumbuza ngokucacileyo
Everywhere, penthouse, pavement and curb
– Yonke indawo, ipenthouse, i-pavement kunye ne-curb
Cradle to the grave, talk’ll lead you on a shell
– I-Cradle engcwabeni, intetho iya kukukhokelela kwiqokobhe
Universal ghetto life holla black, you know it well
– Ubomi be-ghetto yendalo iphela mnyama, uyazi kakuhle
