Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Slow down with the greatness, gotta take time
– Yehlisa ijubane ngobukhulu, kumelwe uthathe isikhathi
Poles out on a bait ting on a date night
– Izigxobo ziphuma ngesicupho ngobusuku bokuqomisana
They try imitate mine, that’s a hate crime
– Bazama ukulingisa okwami, lokho kuyicala lenzondo
Bro’s in the can throwin’ hands, that’s a cage fight
– Umfowethu usezandleni zokuphonsa, lokho kuwukulwa ekhejini
Big crib and the gate’s high, got the K9
– I-Big crib ne-gate ‘ s high, ithole I-k9
ZK, knife sit right at the waistline
– ZK, ummeseit phansi okhalweni
Heard through the grape vine, it don’t make wine
– Ezwakala emvinini wamagilebhisi, awenzi iwayini
They hope and they pray I don’t stay high
– Banethemba futhi bathandaza angihlali ngiphakeme
I changed when I got famous, I’ll explain it
– Ngashintsha lapho ngiduma, ngizokuchaza
My fam hatin’, they say that I got favourites
– Ngiyakuzonda, bathi ngithole izintandokazi
Paid, but I got payments upon payments
– Ngakhokha, kodwa ngathola izinkokhelo lapho ngikhokha
I’m in pain, but I’m not blamin’, I’m just sayin’
– Ngibuhlungu, kodwa angisola, ngimane ngithi
And my bro’s bloodthirsty, he’s got cravings
– Futhi umfowethu unxanela igazi, unesifiso
If he lean out the window, he’s not aimin’
– Uma encika ngefasitela, akafuni
‘Member hearin’ a door knock and it’s bailiffs
– ‘Ilungu elizwa’ kungqongqoza umnyango futhi kungama-bailiff
Now it’s acres, I ain’t even got neighbours (Yeah)
– Manje sekungamahektare, anginabo ngisho omakhelwane (Yebo)
Forty thousand square feet off of this pain
– Amamitha-skwele ayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane ukusuka kulobu buhlungu
Look at me, I got heart acres
– Ngibheke, ngithole i-heart acres
He don’t know what heartache is
– Akazi ukuthi ubuhlungu benhliziyo buyini
I can’t ask no one for a teaspoon of sugar, it’s tough, got no neighbours
– Angikwazi ukucela muntu isipuni ushukela, kunzima, got no omakhelwane
My uncles had no papers
– Omalume babengenawo amaphepha
We sold sweets in school, made sense that the mandem grew up and sold flavours
– Sasithengisa amaswidi esikoleni, kunengqondo ukuthi i-mandem ikhule futhi ithengise ukunambitheka
Wanted a million so much, went to the perfume store, bought Paco Rabanne
– Wayefuna isigidi kangaka, waya esitolo samakha, wathenga Upaco Rabanne
TSG had me in the back of the van and prang
– I TSG yangibeka ngemuva kweveni ne prang
Wanna book a flight, Japan
– Ufuna ukubhuka indiza, Ejapane
I’m on the private jet and the pilot’s tellin’ me jokes, sellin’ me land
– Ngisemkhunjini wangasese futhi umshayeli wendiza ungitshela amahlaya, ngithengise umhlaba
I’m drivin’ on a ban, true say, I got disqualifications
– Ngishayela ngenxa yokuvinjelwa, kusho iqiniso, ngathola ukuvinjelwa
Askin’ God, why bless me? I’m a sinner, why bless me when I’ve sinned?
– Ukubuza Unkulunkulu, kungani ungibusisa? Ngiyisoni, kungani ngingibusisa lapho sengonile?
I don’t care if the next man lose, I just wanna see us man win
– Anginandaba nokuthi umuntu olandelayo uyalahlekelwa yini, ngifuna nje ukusibona siwina
Business class is free, so my mum takes every snack and every drink
– Ikilasi lebhizinisi likhululekile, ngakho umama uthatha konke ukudla okulula nakho konke ukuphuza
For the times that we struggled and we never had
– Ezikhathini lapho sasilwa khona futhi sasingakaze sibe nazo
I get on my—, I’m tellin’ ’em
– Ngiyangithola – ngiyabatshela
Slow down with the greatness, gotta take time
– Yehlisa ijubane ngobukhulu, kumelwe uthathe isikhathi
Poles out on a bait ting on a date night
– Izigxobo ziphuma ngesicupho ngobusuku bokuqomisana
They try imitate mine, that’s a hate crime
– Bazama ukulingisa okwami, lokho kuyicala lenzondo
Bro’s in the can throwin’ hands, that’s a cage fight
– Umfowethu usezandleni zokuphonsa, lokho kuwukulwa ekhejini
Big crib and the gate’s high, got the K9
– I-Big crib ne-gate ‘ s high, ithole I-k9
ZK, knife sit right at the waistline
– ZK, ummeseit phansi okhalweni
Heard through the grape vine, it don’t make wine
– Ezwakala emvinini wamagilebhisi, awenzi iwayini
They hope and they pray I don’t stay high
– Banethemba futhi bathandaza angihlali ngiphakeme
I changed when I got famous, I’ll explain it
– Ngashintsha lapho ngiduma, ngizokuchaza
My fam hatin’, they say that I got favourites
– Ngiyakuzonda, bathi ngithole izintandokazi
Paid, but I got payments upon payments
– Ngakhokha, kodwa ngathola izinkokhelo lapho ngikhokha
I’m in pain, but I’m not blamin’, I’m just sayin’
– Ngibuhlungu, kodwa angisola, ngimane ngithi
And my bro’s bloodthirsty, he’s got cravings
– Futhi umfowethu unxanela igazi, unesifiso
If he lean out the window, he’s not aimin’
– Uma encika ngefasitela, akafuni
‘Member hearin’ a door knock and it’s bailiffs
– ‘Ilungu elizwa’ kungqongqoza umnyango futhi kungama-bailiff
Now it’s acres, I ain’t even got neighbours
– Manje sekungamahektare, anginabo ngisho omakhelwane
You know that you’re rich when you get a new crib
– Uyazi ukuthi ucebile uma uthola isidleke esisha
But it don’t have a number, shit’s got a name
– Kodwa ayinayo inombolo, i-shit inegama
My white ting said she only listen to house
– My white ting wathi ulalela indlu kuphela
But she listen to rap if it’s Cench or Dave
– Kodwa ulalela i rap uma Kungucench noma Udave
Twenty-five and I’m sittin’ on twenty-five M
– Amashumi amabili nanhlanu futhi ngihlezi Ngamamitha angamashumi amabili nanhlanu
Mummy ain’t gotta stress, now the rent get paid
– Mummy akudingeki ukucindezeleka, manje irenti ukhokhelwe
And they wonder why they ain’t gettin’ blessed same way
– Futhi bayazibuza ukuthi kungani bengabusiswa ngendlela efanayo
‘Cause they ain’t on takin’ the risk that we—
– Ngoba abazibeki engozini yokuthi thina—
Practice makes perfect, and I’m scratchin’ the surface, expandin’
– Ukuzijwayeza kwenza kube okuphelele, futhi ngiyakhahlela, ngikhulise
I was sofa surfin’, no mattress
– Ngangidlala i-sofa surf, ngingenawo umatilasi
And I slept in the trap, smelled like cat piss
– Futhi ngangilala ogibeni, nginuka njengekati piss
Now I’m with a Scarlett Johansson
– Manje senginoscarlett johansson
A-list actress said I’m so handsome
– Umlingisi ohlwini a wathi ngimuhle kakhulu
When I wanted a ‘fit, I would go Camden
– Lapho ngifuna ‘ukufaneleka, ngangiya Ecamden
Now it’s Rodeo Drive, let’s go Lanvin
– Manje Sekuyimoto Ye-Rodeo, masihambe Ulanvin
Nobody else from London’s gone Hollywood, just Cee or the boy Damson
– Akekho omunye Ovela Ehollywood Yaselondon, Ucee noma umfana Udamson
Twenty bags for the sofa and one lamp
– Izikhwama ezingamashumi amabili zesofa nesibani esisodwa
And I got marble floors, I ain’t got damp any more
– Futhi nginezitezi zemabula, angisenawo umswakama
Tom Ford fragrance well pampered
– Iphunga likatom Ford elenziwe kahle
And my passport full, so they can’t stamp it
– Futhi ipasipoti yami igcwele, ngakho abakwazi ukuyigxiviza
In Dubai and I’m stayin’ in Atlantis
– E-Dubai futhi ngihlala E-Atlantis
I ain’t snapped it once ’cause I’m not gassed
– Angikaze ngiyiphule kanye ngoba angibulawa ngegesi
I’m front row at the fashion show, tryna see which model that I wanna fuck next
– Ngisemgqeni wokuqala embukisweni wemfashini, utryna ubona ukuthi iyiphi imodeli engifuna ukuyidlala ngokulandelayo
She watchin’ her weight ’cause she doin’ campaigns
– Ubuka ‘isisindo sakhe’ ngoba wenza ‘ imikhankaso
Tell her, “Ride this dick”, she ain’t done enough steps
– Mtshele, ” Gibela le dick”, akenzi izinyathelo ezanele
I see those guys from other side
– Ngibona labo bantu bevela kolunye uhlangothi
On a keto diet, ’cause they don’t get bread
– Ekudleni kwe-keto, ngoba abatholi isinkwa
Money don’t buy happiness ’cause I’m upset
– Imali ayithengi injabulo ngoba ngicasukile
The more money that you get, make you give a fuck less
– Imali eningi oyitholayo, ikwenza unikeze imali encane
Slow down with the greatness
– Yehlisa ijubane ngobukhulu
Gotta take time
– Kumelwe uthathe isikhathi
Poles out on a bait ting on a date night
– Izigxobo ziphuma ngesicupho ngobusuku bokuqomisana
They try imitate mine, that’s a hate crime
– Bazama ukulingisa okwami, lokho kuyicala lenzondo
Bro’s in the can throwin’ hands, that’s a cage fight
– Umfowethu usezandleni zokuphonsa, lokho kuwukulwa ekhejini
Big crib and the gate’s high, got the K9
– I-Big crib ne-gate ‘ s high, ithole I-k9
ZK, knife sit right at the waistline
– ZK, ummeseit phansi okhalweni
Heard through the grape vine, it don’t make wine
– Ezwakala emvinini wamagilebhisi, awenzi iwayini
