Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Bells rung
– Izinsimbi ziyakhala
Sent the mail up high to the sky home that I fell from
– Ngathumela iposi phezulu esibhakabhakeni ekhaya engawela kulo
Bail us out the bond, mask over my eyes just like a welder
– Sikhiphe isibopho, sifihle amehlo ami njengomshiseli
Tailspun outta binds, baptized in the fires of flaw and failures
– I-tailspun outta iyabopha, ibhapathizwe emlilweni wephutha nokwehluleka
I tried to tell ya
– Ngazama ukukutshela
You never gon’ get a rise out of a real one
– Awusoze ‘ wakhuphuka waba umuntu ongokoqobo
Tough like rye or spelt, Orion-sized heavyweight titles on the belt, son
– Kunzima njengorye noma uspelt, iziqu ze-orion-sized heavyweight ebhande, ndodana
Flying in on the wide eye of the maelstrom, wild side that I hail from
– Ngindiza phezu kweso elibanzi lesiphepho, uhlangothi lwasendle engivela kulo
I see you ain’t moved in a while
– Ngiyabona ukuthi awuthuthuki isikhashana
Ain’t gon’ lie, you probably should get your sails up
– Ngeke uqambe amanga, cishe kufanele uphakamise imikhumbi yakho
Time will tell who the hell won
– Isikhathi sizokutshela ukuthi ubani owaphumelela
Promise I don’t know who assailed ya
– Thembisa angazi ukuthi ubani owakuhlasela
Bear cubs, head hunt, voilà, they probably do it for breadcrumbs
– Amawundlu amabhere, ukuzingela amakhanda, voilà, cishe akwenzela ama-breadcrumbs
Providing shelter (Shelter)
– Ukunikeza indawo yokukhosela (Indawo yokukhosela)
Dug well enough to find us some kind of wealth (Yeah)
– Wemba kahle ngokwanele ukuba asitholele uhlobo oluthile lwengcebo (Yebo)
Mining through myself, gumboots
– Ukumba ngami, gumboots
The bottom started to melt some, I felt stuck
– Ingxenye engezansi yaqala ukuncibilika, ngazizwa ngibambekile
Steel-cut knives showing the shield love
– Imimese yensimbi ebonisa uthando lwesihlangu
Spill blood
– Ukuchitheka kwegazi
From this action
– Kulokhu
We see the priest’s responsibility towards the congregation as towards the gods
– Sibona umthwalo wemfanelo wompristi ebandleni ngokuphathelene nonkulunkulu
Sta—
– Usta—
