Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
I sit in parks, it breaks my heart
– Ndihleli epakini, yaphula intliziyo yam
‘Cause I see just how far I am from the things that I want
– Kuba ndiyabona ukuba ukude kangakanani kwizinto endizifunayo
Dad brought the picnic, Mom brought the sunscreen
– Utata wazisa ipikiniki, Umama wazisa isikhuseli selanga
Two kids are laughing and crying on red swings
– Abantwana ababini bahleka baze bakhale ngeentambo ezibomvu
We look about the same age
– Sijonga malunga nobudala obufanayo
But we don’t have same Saturdays
– Kodwa bekungengomvulo weveki ephelileyo
Did I miss it? By now, is it
– I’m missing? Presently, okay
A lucid dream? Is it my fault
– Ngaba iphupha elibi? Ngaba lityala lam
For chasing things a body clock
– Ukuleqa izinto iwotshi yomzimba
Doesn’t wait for? I did the damn tour
– Musa ukulinda? Ndenza idemo
It’s what I wanted, what I got
– Into endiyifunayo, into endiyifumanayo
I spun around and then I stopped
– Ndajika ndaza ndayeka
And wonder if I missed the mark
– Kwaye ndiyazibuza ukuba ndiluphosile uphawu
So I sit in parks, sunglasses dark
– Ndihleli epakini, iiglasi zelanga zimnyama
And I hit the vape, hallucinate a nursery with Noah’s Ark
– Kwaye mna, betha, i-vape, hallucinate a nursery Nonowa ke Umkhombe
They lay on a blanket and goddamit he loves her
– Balala ngengubo kwaye uthixokazi uyamthanda
I wonder if she wants my freedom like I wanna be a mother
– Ndiyazibuza ukuba ufuna inkululeko yam njengam ndifuna ukuba ngumama
But Rolling Stone says I’m on the right road
– Kodwa I Rolling Stone ithi ndisendleleni efanelekileyo
So I refill my Lexapro, thinkin’
– Ngoko ke ndizalisa Lexapro yam, ucinga’
Did I miss it? By now, is it
– I’m missing? Presently, okay
A lucid dream? Is it my fault
– Ngaba iphupha elibi? Ngaba lityala lam
For chasing things a body clock
– Ukuleqa izinto iwotshi yomzimba
Doesn’t wait for? I did the damn tour
– Musa ukulinda? Ndenza idemo
It’s what I wanted, what I got
– Into endiyifunayo, into endiyifumanayo
I spun around and then I stopped
– Ndajika ndaza ndayeka
And wonder if I missed the mark
– Kwaye ndiyazibuza ukuba ndiluphosile uphawu
Mm-mm, mm-mm
– Mm-mm, mm-mm
So I sit in parks, checkin’ bench marks
– Ndihleli epakini, ndikhangela iimpawu zebhentshi
Tarryn’s due in June, the album’s due in March
– I-Tarryn ifanele ngojuni, i-albhamu ifanele Ngomatshi
