Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
This is God’s plan, He said it to me
– Lena icebo Likankulunkulu, wathi kimi
An angel either side of my bed in a dream
– Ingelosi nhlangothi zombili zombhede wami ephusheni
Singin’, “You don’t know what you’ve yet to achieve
– Ukucula, ” awazi ukuthi yini okufanele uyifinyelele
And you’re destined for some shit you would never believe”
– Futhi umiselwe izinto ezithile ongasoze wazikholelwa”
Now the garden same size as Adam and Eve’s
– Manje ingadi usayizi ofanayo No Adamu No Eva
I got trees, a forest, you better believe
– Nginezihlahla, ihlathi, kungcono ukholelwe
For the bass and the treble, I treble the fee
– Ukuze ngithole i-bass ne-treble, ngithola imali ephindwe kathathu
I can’t wish my ex the best, she would end up with me
– Angikwazi ukufisela owayengumngane wami okuhle, wayezogcina enami
How can I sleep when there’s money to get with the team?
– Ngingalala kanjani lapho kunemali yokuhamba neqembu?
You disrespect the 16, your head on a beam
– Awuyihloniphi i-16, ikhanda lakho lisemgqeni
For the lust of the money, the head of the Queen
– Ngenxa yenkanuko yemali, inhloko Yendlovukazi
I done shit I didn’t think I could ever redeem
– Ngenza izinto engangingacabangi ukuthi ngingazihlenga
I’m from South where they struggle with sayin’ your name
– Ngivela Eningizimu lapho belwa khona nokusho igama lakho
But it’s easy when pronouncin’ you dead on the scene
– Kodwa kulula lapho usho ukuthi ‘ ufile endaweni yesehlakalo
So when you see me on these stages steppin’ in clean
– Ngakho lapho ungibona kulezi ziteji ungena uhlanzekile
I hope
– Ngithemba
You know it’s history in the makin’
– Uyazi ukuthi kunomlando ekwakhiweni
Shall we make it? Oh God
– Ingabe kufanele sikwenze? O Nkulunkulu
Yeah
– Yebo
And when they talk on my name in this country, they gon’ tell you that I’m already a legend (In the makin’)
– Futhi lapho bekhuluma ngegama lami kuleli zwe, bayokutshela ukuthi sengivele ngiyinganekwane (ngokwakhiwa)
Streatham that I’m reppin’, clean steppin’, bro, you need to forget it
– Ustreatham ukuthi ngingumfana reppin’, steppin ehlanzekile’, bro, kudingeka uyikhohlwe
Fuck eco-friendly, my car eco-aggressive (Yeah)
– Fuck eco-friendly, imoto yami eco-nolaka (Yeah)
And my ego aggressive (Yeah), you better leave me a message
– Futhi i-ego yami enolaka (Yebo), kungcono ungishiye nginomyalezo
Yeah, you’ve done it for a year, but that ain’t impressive
– Yebo, usukwenzile unyaka wonke, kodwa lokho akumangalisi
I give a fuck about success if it ain’t successive, that ain’t (History)
– Nginikeza impumelelo uma ingalandelani, lokho akuyona (Umlando)
City’s gonna listen on repeat (Yeah)
– Yes ‘ listen on repeat (Yeah)
Gone a couple summers, so they miss me on the beat (Woo)
– Hamba a ehlobo umbhangqwana, ngakho miss me on the beat (Woo)
It don’t matter if she pretty and petite
– Akunandaba ukuthi muhle futhi mncane
If she ain’t B, she can’t even kiss me on the cheek (Yeah)
– Uma engeyena U-B, akakwazi ngisho nokunganga esihlathini (Yebo)
Mum said, “Never build a house on sand”
– Umama wathi, ” Ungalokothi wakhe indlu esihlabathini”
But I don’t think I listen cah the villas by the beach
– Kodwa angicabangi ukuthi ngiyamlalela ucah izindlu ezisogwini lolwandle
And I did it off of beats (Yeah), I just whip it and I screech (Yeah)
– Futhi ngakwenza ngaphandle kokushaya (Yeah), ngivele ngikushaye futhi ngikhala (Yeah)
Any time you see my niggas in the streets
– Noma nini lapho ubona ama nigga ami emigwaqweni
You know it’s history in the makin’ (Makin’)
– Uyazi ukuthi umlando wokwenza (Ukwenza)
Shall we make it? Oh God
– Ingabe kufanele sikwenze? O Nkulunkulu
Ah
– Ah
Did I, did I get addicted to the life?
– Ingabe mina, ingabe ngaba umlutha wokuphila?
Well, it’s all that I wanted
– Yilokho kuphela engangikufuna
And it was fun for a while
– Futhi kwaba mnandi isikhashana
But history smiles on us
– Kodwa umlando uyamamatheka kithi
Now we’re on to somethin’
– Manje sesisendleleni eya kokuthile
On to somethin’ higher (Higher)
– On to something ‘ ephakeme (Ephakeme)
Now hold my hand close
– Manje bamba isandla sami eduze
I’m inspired
– Ngikhuthazekile
And I’m holdin’ on to a version of our lives
– Futhi ngibambelela enguqulweni yokuphila kwethu
Where you’re still mine
– Lapho usengowami khona
You know it’s history in the makin’ (Ooh)
– Uyazi ukuthi umlando wokwenza (Ooh)
Shall we make it? Oh God
– Ingabe kufanele sikwenze? O Nkulunkulu
Yeah
– Yebo
My mum told me what my name really means and the powers just kicked in
– Umama wangitshela ukuthi igama lami lisho ukuthini ngempela futhi amandla asanda kuqala
Got me thinkin’ back to days when I was a victim to this ting
– Ngacabanga emuva ezinsukwini lapho ngangiyisisulu salokhu
Thinkin’ I was keepin’ it balanced
– Ngicabanga ukuthi ngangilokhu ngilinganisela
I was even embarrassed, sellin’ CDs in Paris
– Nganginamahloni ngisho nangokuthengisa Ama-Cd Eparis
But this music gave me everything I need in a marriage
– Kodwa lo mculo wanginika konke engikudingayo emshadweni
I can’t speak sideways on grime, jungle or garage
– Angikwazi ukukhuluma eceleni ku-grime, ehlathini noma egalaji
When I know that it’s the reason we managed to make (History)
– Uma ngazi ukuthi yisizathu sokuthi sikwazile ukwenza (Umlando)
Don’t be a hero, I ain’t lookin’ to hurt anyone
– Ungabi iqhawe, angifuni ukulimaza muntu
I got a clean one, and I got a dirtier one
– Ngathola okuhlanzekile, futhi ngathola okungcolile
I never see a man late to his own funeral, but
– Angikaze ngibone umuntu efika sekwephuzile emngcwabeni wakhe, kodwa
I done see a man show up early to one
– Ngabona indoda ivela kusenesikhathi
I prefer the one that’s slim, but I don’t mind me the curvier one, yeah
– Ngithanda lowo omncane, kodwa anginandaba nami onamajika, yebo
And I’m comin’ from the South of the river, where the sky is black
– Futhi ngivela Eningizimu yomfula, lapho isibhakabhaka simnyama khona
If not for the history that we made, they wouldn’t like rap
– Ukube bekungengenxa yomlando esawenza, bebengeke bathande i-rap
Niggas tryna water down our ting, it’s time to fight back
– Amanigga tryna amanzi phansi ting yethu, sekuyisikhathi ukulwa emuva
For seventy hours, I’ve been steppin’ with powers, and it’s definitely ours, it’s time
– Amahora angamashumi ayisikhombisa, bengilokhu nginyathela ngamandla, futhi nakanjani kungokwethu, sekuyisikhathi
You mention my name, better know that you’re playin’ with pepper
– Khuluma ngegama lami, wazi kangcono ukuthi udlala nopelepele
You borrowed a mil’, and I told him to pay me whenever
– Wena waboleka i-mil, futhi ngamtshela ukuba angikhokhele noma nini lapho
Knew it was different from the moment we came in
– Sasazi ukuthi kwakuhlukile esikhathini esafika ngaso
And you can call me ’cause I said it verbatim
– Futhi ungangibiza ngokuthi ‘ ngoba ngikushilo ngokwezwi nezwi
The woman with me like a renaissance paintin’
– Owesifazane onami njengomdwebo wenkathi yokuvuselelwa
I’m Michelangelo’s David
– Ngingudavide Kamichelangelo
And any time you mention me in a statement, you better know that it’s
– Futhi noma nini lapho ungikhuluma esitatimendeni, kungcono wazi ukuthi
History
– Umlando
