Thula (feat. Bongane Sax & Yallunder)

[00:19.65] I think I might be dying
[00:20.79] But I might be lying
[00:22.12] Maybe he owns my soul
[00:23.28] But the body's mine
[00:24.53] I need to go back in time just to find my mind
[00:26.78] 'Cause I think it got lost in my darkest times
[00:29.35] I don't watch the news and those videos too
[00:31.73] I think black on black killing always ups their views
[00:34.17] What you think your kid's doing when he's not at school?
[00:36.67] It's not a study group, it's a gangsta crew
[00:39.05] Ngifun' kwaz kuthi usthol' ikhuph' isbamu at that age
[00:41.76] Funde ikhuFuneuku kwaze ukuth' umuntu usazi grade 8 wena?
[00:44.16] Funeral for your son, a mom's pain
[00:46.55] Ntwana had to die to be the face of a campaign
[00:49.16] A life in the fast lane
[00:50.22] Got these kids going mad, manje ama-blood stain
[00:52.79] Every week sifak' itende singcwab' abangan' bethu
[00:55.33] Hold me tight mama wami it might be my last day
[00:57.95] I'm saying...
[00:59.24] Ngikhathel' uk' pretend-a eintlik
[01:01.38] I'm tired of these justice isban'-bani hashtag
[01:03.73] Tired of these cops that don't help but stand back
[01:06.22] If it was your friend would you call this bad
[01:08.55] Acts or would you jump in and have your friend's back
[01:11.00] I'm tired of the response!?
[01:13.28] I'm tired of politics they just acting and pretend
[01:16.67] To care when we know it's for votes and that's facts
[01:19.83] Thula mama thula
[01:24.43] Thula mama thula
[01:29.22] Thula mama thula
[01:34.31] Thula mama thula
[01:38.39] Nkoke kuzo dlula(kuzo dlula)
[01:47.01] Thula mama thula(konke kuzo dlula)
[01:52.23] Thula mama thula
[01:55.07] Mhhhm, ah yes!
[01:57.85] Let me paint a picture with a tainted scripture
[02:00.22] They can't feel our pain so they can't depict us
[02:02.52] Listen, we're the future, you can't dismiss us
[02:05.08] You rape the system and parade as victors, whoa
[02:08.09] Is this the freedom that many people die for?
[02:10.41] We see you stuffing your face, many people die poor
[02:12.53] We gon' be alright, hey mama what you crying for
[02:14.96] Apple of your eye, sell myself I'm the iStore
[02:17.66] Should've prayed, should've listened to the preacher
[02:19.79] But I lost face so my heart a little weaker
[02:22.13] Another mother crying, another son meets the reaper
[02:24.68] All that's left is blood stains on a sneaker
[02:27.28] The long arm of the law is breaking
[02:29.46] Who's there to snatch a brother from the palms of Satan?
[02:31.83] Hope is fading, you're distracted
[02:33.13] All you debating, is between your two favourite rappers
[02:35.64] And who's the greatest?
[02:37.97] Thula mama thula
[02:42.75] Thula mama thula
[02:47.89] Thula mama thula
[02:52.68] Thula mama thula
[02:56.73] Nkoke kuzo dlula(kuzo dlula)
[03:05.56] Thula mama thula(konke kuzo dlula)
[03:10.40] Thula mama thula
[03:15.47] MaOulady ungakhali, i'ntwana zakho zisamile
[03:18.68] Ngibong' umdali ukuthi sonke sisaphila
[03:21.01] Ubhuti wami usejele and I don't have the key
[03:23.47] But I have the bars that can set the people free, ironic
[03:26.70] The streets are mad, we stay indoors
[03:28.65] The devil has the sound of us crying as his ring tone
[03:31.24] And Let's spoke about the iStore
[03:32.95] My eyes tore when I saw what he's dropping, need a blindfold
[03:35.97] The best way to hide pain is a good smile
[03:38.57] I heard black excellence is a hood crime
[03:40.94] He killed his role in? Good times
[03:43.17] But that was a dress rehearsal for his goodbye
[03:46.37] Pastor is raising people from the dead
[03:49.28] I wanna see dad's raise kids instead
[03:51.93] I hope friends don't retweet my fears
[03:54.33] I hope God don't blue-tick my prayers
[03:56.15]
