Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold
– Lapho ngikuthola, wawusemusha, unenkani, ulahlekile emakhazeni
Pulled up to you in the Jag’, turned your rags into gold
– Wenyukela kuwe ngejag’, waphenduka izindwangu zakho zaba yigolide
The winding road leads to the chateau
– Umgwaqo oyindilinga uholela enqabeni
“You remind me of a younger me,” I saw potential
– “Ungikhumbuza umuntu osemusha,” ngabona amathuba
I’ll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
– Ngizoba ubaba wakho, ngiphuza lowo muthi onsundu
I can make deals with the devil because my dick’s bigger
– Ngingenza izivumelwano nodeveli ngoba udick wami mkhulu
This love is pure profit, just step into my office
– Lolu thando luyinzuzo nje, ungene ehhovisi lami
I dry your tears with my sleeve
– Ngiyomisa izinyembezi zakho ngesikhwama sami
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Yishiye nami, ngivikela umkhaya
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Yishiye nami, ngivikela umkhaya
I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain
– Ngikhokha isheke ngaphambi kokuba liqabule okusanhlamvu kwe mahogany
Said, “They wanna see you rise, they don’t want you to reign”
– Wathi, ” bafuna ukukubona uvuka, abafuni ukuba ubuse”
I showed you all the tricks of the trade
– Ngikubonise wonke amaqhinga okuhweba
All I asked for is your loyalty, my dear protégé
– Konke engangikucela ukwethembeka kwakho, mfundi wami othandekayo
I’ll be your father figure, I drink that brown liquor
– Ngizoba ubaba wakho, ngiphuza lowo muthi onsundu
I can make deals with the devil because my dick’s bigger
– Ngingenza izivumelwano nodeveli ngoba udick wami mkhulu
This love is pure profit, just step into my office
– Lolu thando luyinzuzo nje, ungene ehhovisi lami
They’ll know your name in the streets
– Bazokwazi igama lakho emigwaqweni
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Yishiye nami, ngivikela umkhaya
I saw a change in you (I saw a change, saw a change in you)
– Ngabona ushintsho kuwe (ngabona ushintsho, ngabona ushintsho kuwe)
My dear boy
– Umfana wami othandekayo
They don’t make loyalty like they used to (Not like they used to)
– Abenzi ubuqotho njengoba babejwayele (Hhayi njengoba babejwayele)
Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition
– Ukuvelela kwakho okungenangqondo kwabangela ukuvutha
On foolish decisions, which led to misguided visions
– Ngezinqumo eziwubuwula, ezaholela emibonweni eyiphutha
That to fulfill your dreams
– Lokho ukufeza amaphupho akho
You had to get rid of me
– Kwadingeka ungilahle
I protect the family
– Ngivikela umndeni
I was your father figure, we drank that brown liquor
– Ngangingubaba wakho, sasiphuza lowo muthi onsundu
You made a deal with this devil, turns out my dick’s bigger
– Wenza isivumelwano nalo develi, kuvela ukuthi udick wami mkhulu
You want a fight? You found it, I got the place surrounded
– Ufuna ukulwa? Uyitholile, ngazungeza indawo
You’ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you’re drowning
– Uzolala nezinhlanzi ngaphambi kokuba wazi ukuthi uyaminza
Whose portrait’s on the mantle? Who covered up your scandals?
– Isithombe sikabani esisesembozweni? Ubani owafihla amahlazo akho?
Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled
– Phatha umusa wami njengobuthakathaka futhi uthole ikhadi lakho likhanseliwe
I was your father figure, you pulled the wrong trigger
– Ngangingubaba wakho, wadonsa inhlamvu engalungile
This empire belongs to me
– Lo mbuso ungowami
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Yishiye nami, ngivikela umkhaya
Leave it with me, I protect the family
– Yishiye nami, ngivikela umkhaya
Leave it with me
– Yishiye nami
“You know, you remind me of a younger me”
– “Uyazi, ungikhumbuza mina osemusha”
I saw potential
– Ngabona amathuba
