Love’s gonna get you killed
– Uthando luyakubulala
But pride’s gonna be the death of you, and you and me
– Kodwa ikratshi liya kuba kukufa kwakho, nawe kunye nam
And you, and you, and you and me
– Kwaye wena, kunye nawe, kunye nam
And you, and you, and you and me
– Kwaye wena, kunye nawe, kunye nam
And you, and you, and you and me, and-
– Kwaye wena, kunye nawe, kunye nam, kwaye-
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Andizange ndifundiswe ukwabelana, kodwa ndikhathalele
In another life, I surely was there
– Kwenye ubomi, ngokuqinisekileyo bendikhona
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Andizange ndifundiswe ukwabelana, kodwa ndikhathalele
I care, I care
– Ndikhathalele, ndikhathalele
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessions
– Isihogo-ukuphakamisa, ukuleqa ivili, izinto ezintsha zehlabathi
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
– Ukwenza inyama, ukwaphula umoya, yiyiphi onokuyinciphisa?
The better part, the human heart
– Eyona nto ibhetele-intliziyo yomntu
You love ’em or dissect ’em
– Uyabathanda okanye ubohlukanise
Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
– Ulonwabo okanye ukukhanya? Uwubuza njani umbuzo?
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
– Jonga, kwihlabathi eligqibeleleyo, bendiya kuba ndigqibelele, ihlabathi
I don’t trust people enough beyond they surface, world
– Andibathembi abantu ngokwaneleyo ngaphaya komhlaba, umhlaba
I don’t love people enough to put my faith in man
– Andibathandi abantu ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndibeke ukholo lwam emntwini
I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make a band
– Ndibeka ukholo lwam kwezi lyrics ngethemba ndenza band
I understand I ain’t perfect
– Ndiyaqonda ukuba andiphelelanga
I probably won’t come around
– Mhlawumbi andiyi kujikeleza
This time, I might put you down
– Ngeli xesha ndingakunqumla
Last time, I ain’t give a fuck, I still feel the same now
– Ixesha lokugqibela, andiluniki fuck, ndisaziva ngokufanayo ngoku
My feelings might go numb, you’re dealing with cold thumb
– My feelings might go nuthin ‘but nuthin ‘ but nuthin’
I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
– Ndikulungele ukuncama umlenze nengalo kwaye ndibonise uvelwano oluvela
Pity parties and functions and you and yours
– Amaqela osizi kunye nemisebenzi kunye nawe kunye neyakho
A perfect world, you probably live another 24
– Ihlabathi eligqibeleleyo, mhlawumbi uhlala enye 24
I can’t fake humble just ’cause your ass is insecure
– Can’t hide away doo doo myself ” cause your boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo
I can’t fake humble just ’cause your ass is insecure
– Can’t hide away doo doo myself ” cause your boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Andizange ndifundiswe ukwabelana, kodwa ndikhathalele
In another life, I surely was there
– Kwenye ubomi, ngokuqinisekileyo bendikhona
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Andizange ndifundiswe ukwabelana, kodwa ndikhathalele
I care, I care
– Ndikhathalele, ndikhathalele
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
Now, in a perfect world, I probably won’t be insensitive
– Kwihlabathi eligqibeleleyo, mhlawumbi, andinakuze ndihlazeke
Cold as December, but never remember what winter did
– Kuyabanda ngodisemba, kodwa ungaze ukhumbule ukuba yintoni ebusika eyenzayo
I wouldn’t blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
– Andizukubekwa blame ngeempazamo endizenzileyo okanye ibhedi endiyileleyo
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point, nowadays
– Kubonakala ngathi ndibonisa umnwe nje ukwenza ingongoma, namhlanje
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
– Smiling, cold stars, iqondo lobushushu liya apho
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
– Home iindaba masizive silapha
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
– Ndiyazi iindonga, banokumamela, ndinqwenela ukuba bangathetha emva
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
– Intlungu iba kukuphindaphinda, uthando luphantse lwaphulukana naloo nto
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
– I-venom egulayo emadodeni kunye nabasetyhini boyiswa likratshi
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
– Ihlabathi eligqibeleleyo alifezekanga, lizaliswe bubuxoki kuphela
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
– Izithembiso zaphukile kwaye inzondo engakumbi iyaphila
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
– Mafikizolo ndihamba nawe download
See, in a perfect world, I’ll choose faith over riches
– Jonga, kwihlabathi eligqibeleleyo, ndiza kukhetha ukholo phezu kobutyebi
I’ll choose work over bitches, I’ll make schools out of prison
– Ndiza kukhetha umsebenzi phezu kweebitches, ndiza kwenza izikolo entolongweni
I’ll take all the religions and put ’em all in one service
– Ndiza kuthatha zonke iinkonzo kwaye ndibeke bonke kwinkonzo enye
Just to tell ’em we ain’t shit, but He’s been perfect, world
– Ndixelele nje ukuba akaphelelanga, kodwa uphelele, ihlabathi
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Andizange ndifundiswe ukwabelana, kodwa ndikhathalele
In another life, I surely was there
– Kwenye ubomi, ngokuqinisekileyo bendikhona
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Andizange ndifundiswe ukwabelana, kodwa ndikhathalele

– Ndikhathalele, ndikhathalele
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbi bendingekho
