Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Get food, barely eat
– Thola ukudla, ungadli
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
– Konke ukulunywa kwangigcina nginamathele esihlalweni sami
I worried, even cried
– Ngangikhathazekile, ngaze ngakhala
How’d it feel to take the light from my life?
– Kwakuzwakala kanjani ukuthatha ukukhanya ekuphileni kwami?
Bad habit, even worse
– Umkhuba omubi, okubi nakakhulu
Fifty-fifty, I’m a sucker for looks
– Amashumi amahlanu nanhlanu, ngingumfana sucker for ukubukeka
Asked for it, here it is
– Kubuzwe ngu, nakhu
A quick example ’cause you wanted the hits
– Isibonelo esisheshayo ngoba wawufuna izingoma eziphumelelayo
I think you’re scared of being basic
– Ngicabanga ukuthi wesaba ukuba yisisekelo
That’s ironic ’cause it’s reading like you’re even more basic
– Lokho kuyahlekisa ngoba kufundeka sengathi uyisisekelo nakakhulu
It’s not funny, it’s so funny
– Akumnandi, kumnandi kakhulu
‘Cause you’re basic
– Ngoba uyisisekelo
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
– Ukubukeka kushisa futhi kugcinwa kungasho lutho futhi kungasho lutho
Nothingness won’t change it
– Ukungabi nalutho ngeke kukushintshe
(Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
– (Inhlanhla ngalokho, inhlanhla ngalokho?)
It’s not funny, but it’s so funny
– Akumnandi, kodwa kumnandi kakhulu
I don’t want your money, I don’t care for fame
– Angifuni imali yakho, anginandaba nodumo
I don’t wanna live a life where that’s my big exchange
– Angifuni ukuphila ukuphila lapho lokho kungukushintshana kwami okukhulu
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
– Ngifuna injabulo elula, abangane abanomhlane wami
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
– Wonke umuntu unezimfihlo, kodwa akubona bonke abangakhohlisa umuntu onjalo
It sent me reeling, still not the same
– Kwangenza ngahlukumezeka, namanje akufani
It’s like my capacity to love and give has changed
– Kunjengokungathi ikhono lami lokuthanda nokunikeza selishintshile
I guess I’ll thank you and spite your name again
– Ngicabanga ukuthi ngizokubonga futhi ngicasule igama lakho futhi
The past’s the past, and I’ll outlast the hate to find real love that’s not pretend
– Okwedlule kungokwedlule, futhi ngizophila isikhathi eside kunenzondo yokuthola uthando lwangempela olungenzi sengathi
How basic (Sell me on it)
– Indlela eyisisekelo (Ngithengise kuyo)
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
– Shuffle izinombolo, ekhomba iminwe, ditching izingxoxo zokusebenza ezahlukene
That’s basic (Haha)
– I basic (haha)
It’s not funny, it’s so funny
– Akumnandi, kumnandi kakhulu
That’s just basic being basic (Basically)
– Lokho kumane kuyisisekelo kuyisisekelo (Ngokuyisisekelo)
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
– Wathi wayebukeka njengentombazane, ngakho uthanda amantombazane
I guess I’ll take it
– Ngicabanga ukuthi ngizokuthatha
Yeah, that’s funny, you’re so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
– Yebo, lokho kuyahlekisa, uyahlekisa kakhulu (Ha-ha-ha)
Change your body, change your face, curl your hair then make it straight
– Shintsha umzimba wakho, shintsha ubuso bakho, curl izinwele zakho bese wenze iqonde
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
– Thatha isithombe plate yakho, Tarantino movie ukunambitheka
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley’s back in Vogue
– Urah-rah, ucheugy-phobe, uvera Bradley ubuyela Esimweni Esivamile
It’s a flash photograph
– Isithombe esisheshayo
What an empty epitaph that is (That’s basic)
– Yeka ukuthi i-epitaph engenalutho iyini (lokho kuyisisekelo)
What an empty epitaph that is (That’s basic)
– Yeka ukuthi i-epitaph engenalutho iyini (lokho kuyisisekelo)
What an empty epitaph (That’s just basic being basic)
– Yeka ukuthi i-epitaph engenalutho (lokho kumane nje kuyisisekelo esiyisisekelo)
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
– Yebo, i-tight five yami ingase ihleke njengoba injalo
If that’s funny, I’m not funny
– Uma lokho kuhlekisa, angihlekisi
