Lyrics
Love’s gonna get you killed
– Uthando luzokubulala
But pride’s gonna be the death of you, and you and me
– Kodwa ukuziqhenya kuzoba ukufa kwakho, futhi wena nami
And you, and you, and you and me
– Futhi wena, futhi wena, futhi wena nami
And you, and you, and you and me
– Futhi wena, futhi wena, futhi wena nami
And you, and you, and you and me, and-
– Futhi wena, futhi wena, futhi wena nami, futhi-
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Mina, angifundiswanga ukwabelana, kodwa ukunakekela
In another life, I surely was there
– Ngokuqinisekile ngangikhona kwenye impilo
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Mina, angifundiswanga ukwabelana, kodwa ukunakekela
I care, I care
– Ngiyakhathalela, ngiyakhathalela
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessions
– Ukuphakamisa isihogo, ukujaha amasondo, izinto ezintsha zezwe
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
– Ukwenza inyama, ukuphula umoya,ubunganciphisa ngubani?
The better part, the human heart
– Ingxenye engcono, inhliziyo yomuntu
You love ’em or dissect ’em
– Uyabathanda noma ubahlaziye
Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
– Injabulo noma ukukhanya? Ungawukhonza kanjani umbuzo?
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
– Bheka, ezweni eliphelele, ngingaba ophelele, izwe
I don’t trust people enough beyond they surface, world
– Angibethembi abantu ngokwanele ngaphandle kokuba bavele, izwe
I don’t love people enough to put my faith in man
– Angibathandi abantu ngokwanele ukuba ngibeke ukholo lwami kumuntu
I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make a band
– Ngafaka ukholo lwami kula mazwi ngithemba ukuthi ngizoba iqembu lomculo
I understand I ain’t perfect
– Ngiyaqonda angiphelele
I probably won’t come around
– Cishe ngeke ngize
This time, I might put you down
– Kulokhu, ngingase ngikubeke phansi
Last time, I ain’t give a fuck, I still feel the same now
– Okokugcina, anginandaba, namanje ngisazizwa ngendlela efanayo
My feelings might go numb, you’re dealing with cold thumb
– Imizwa yami ingase ibe buthuntu, ubhekene nesithupha esibandayo
I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
– Ngizimisele ukulahla umlenze nengalo futhi ngibonise uzwela
Pity parties and functions and you and yours
– Pity amaqembu kanye nemisebenzi futhi wena kanye eyakho
A perfect world, you probably live another 24
– Izwe eliphelele, cishe uphila amanye ama-24
I can’t fake humble just ’cause your ass is insecure
– Angikwazi ukwenza sengathi ngithobekile ngoba nje imbongolo yakho ingaphephile
I can’t fake humble just ’cause your ass is insecure
– Angikwazi ukwenza sengathi ngithobekile ngoba nje imbongolo yakho ingaphephile
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Mina, angifundiswanga ukwabelana, kodwa ukunakekela
In another life, I surely was there
– Ngokuqinisekile ngangikhona kwenye impilo
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Mina, angifundiswanga ukwabelana, kodwa ukunakekela
I care, I care
– Ngiyakhathalela, ngiyakhathalela
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
Now, in a perfect world, I probably won’t be insensitive
– Manje, ezweni eliphelele, cishe ngeke ngibe ongenandaba
Cold as December, but never remember what winter did
– Kubanda njengodecember, kodwa ungalokothi ukhumbule ukuthi ubusika benzani
I wouldn’t blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
– Ngeke ngikusole ngamaphutha engiwenzile noma umbhede engiwulalile
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point, nowadays
– Kubonakala sengathi ngikhomba umunwe ukuze nje ngikhombe, namuhla
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
– Ukumamatheka nokugqolozela okubandayo, izinga lokushisa liya lapho
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
– Isimo sengqondo sabantu bomdabu, zizwe sengathi silapha
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
– Ngiyazi izindonga, bangalalela, ngifisa sengathi bangakhuluma futhi
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
– Ubuhlungu buba ukuphindaphinda, uthando lwacishe lwalahlekelwa yilokho
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
– Ubuthi obugulayo emadodeni nakwabesifazane bunqotshwa ukuziqhenya
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
– Izwe eliphelele aliphelele, ligcwele amanga kuphela
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
– Izithembiso ziyaphulwa futhi ukucasuka okwengeziwe kuyaphila
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
– Izithiyo zobuhlanga zenza mina nawe sibe ngaphansi
See, in a perfect world, I’ll choose faith over riches
– Bheka, ezweni eliphelele, ngizokhetha ukholo kunengcebo
I’ll choose work over bitches, I’ll make schools out of prison
– Ngizokhetha umsebenzi kunama-bitch, ngizokwenza izikole ngaphandle kwejele
I’ll take all the religions and put ’em all in one service
– Ngizothatha zonke izinkolo futhi ngizifake zonke enkonzweni eyodwa
Just to tell ’em we ain’t shit, but He’s been perfect, world
– Ukuze nje sibatshele ukuthi asiyona into embi, kodwa ubephelele, izwe
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Mina, angifundiswanga ukwabelana, kodwa ukunakekela
In another life, I surely was there
– Ngokuqinisekile ngangikhona kwenye impilo
Me, I wasn’t taught to share, but care
– Mina, angifundiswanga ukwabelana, kodwa ukunakekela
I care, I care
– Ngiyakhathalela, ngiyakhathalela
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
Maybe I wasn’t there
– Mhlawumbe ngangingekho
