[Chorus: Amanda Black]
If they wrote a story that’s about consistent love
That would be what holds me up and keeps me in the clouds
My mama told me way back then when I was young
She said “When you lose your glory, look for who’s gon’ hold it down”
Hope you find in me what I found in you
That’s a chance yempilo elethi injabulo
Deep down, I know I am good enough
God knows, God knows this is out of love

[Verse: Kwesta]
Hey, bathi u too much lo lovha
But he ain’t got too much to offer
There’s too much on offer
And too much will off ya
Okay, note to self
Write hard and bring the notes to self
And know yourself
And don’t ever say “No” to self
But please, notice help
You know they only help because they know it helps, them
Grim story gents
But if you’re not making the music, homie, you’re the help
I mean, i’vaar i’vaar
Hay’ ilikho elakho, leli i’kwaal klaar
Nithi ni culture niyatsiyano kanti ani jampi ijaiv’
So manje nizo jaiva kajani ningazi ijaiv’ i’waar?
So I ain’t mad at nobody
‘Cause nobody turned me into nobody
You cannot claim me, no, buddy
Neba nani ni bhay’ ubuso, no body
But, we all love it
And if not you then everybody
You talking groove? I’m missing from every party
You talking broers? I miss everybody
They said to, get rid of my bible and fire my therapist
I, got rid of my title and grounded the pegasus
They killing their idols, the kids don’t have benefits
Turn kings into martyrs, they ziba the evidence
Dear Lord, anybody but us
Ngiyazi eqinisweni it’s anybody is us
Anybody is tough
Kodwa ke for intwana if this shit is about hope then please, anybody but Touch
And don’t spare me for saying such
We know praying ain’t been enough
That boy paint shit with his brush
Must be painful because his art keeps saving a lot of us and what we do
Act like asina angel ehamb’ ekasi
Well, I’ma say it asase nathi
Before halos and such and such
Before pen and paper is not enough
Ekse, get your paper but stay in touch
I know you love these ghetto kids
I swear to God they’ll give it back
Just love the game for what it is
I pray you never need that back
And don’t be mad at nobody
‘Cause nobody turned you into nobody
They cannot claim you, no, buddy
Just kill, kill, kill, kill, bodies
As I hold the tears and try to find inhlakanipho
I know my place, amandla kudala ngawanikwa
And I tried to carry months ngale sami isipho
Until my shoulder blades got fucked, you can’t cry on these
The life I lead, is of a dying breed
And God bless these rap kids that I’m alive to see
‘Cause finally, I’m the final me
And fuck it, after this I might just leave
[Chorus: Amanda Black]
If they wrote a story that’s about consistent love
That would be what holds me up and keeps me in the clouds
My mama told me way back then when I was young
She said “When you lose your glory, look for who’s gon’ hold it down”
Hope you find in me what I found in you
That’s a chance yempilo elethi injabulo
Deep down, I know I am good enough
God knows, God knows this is out of love yeah
