Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything be off the top these days
I ain't write shit since my early days
And inside these veins, my blood, my DNA
Burna Boy, but I'm Johnny Blaze
Ayy, yeah, there's things that I hardly say
"How you been, mama? How's your day?"
I should talk to my granddaddy more before it's too late
Listen more to things that Roni says
Should have been by Buki's side when her mother died
Should have talked to Sound Sultan more before he fuckin' died
I should show people more love while they still alive
I should always know the way my people feel inside
A lot of times, I feel my life's in a blender
So, I tell it black-and-white like a panda
Yes, I agree I'ma start makin' changes, yeah
Tryna be a better man, I been tryin'
I got it all, but I still got my anger
Been workin' hard tryna get rid of my anger
(Ngizo chinja, ngiyenze ngancolo)
Muntu wani ongelo liphutha, thola yakhe emhlabeni
Nami ngina wami amaphutha
(Ngiyavuma ngiwenzile amaphutha)
Nami ngiwayenzile awami amaphutha
(Ngizo chinja, ngiyenze ngancolo)
Kodwa ubani ongenal' iphutha lakhe emhlabeni?
(Vuma, vuma nawe uliyenzile iphutha, vuma, uzo chinja wenze kancolo)
Kodwa ubani ongenal' iphutha lakhe emhlabeni?
(Vuma, vuma nawe uliyenzile iphutha, vuma, uzo chinja wenze kancolo)
Nawe vuma, vuma
(Vuma, vuma nawe uliyenzile iphutha, vuma, uzo chinja wenze kancolo)
Awu! Vuma nawe bo!
(Ngiya vuma, Ngiya vuma, ngizo chinja ngiyenze kancolo)
Awu! Vuma nawe bo!
Ukhon' ukuphila kancolo bo
Awu! Vuma nawe bo!
(Ngiya vuma, Ngiya vuma, ngizo chinja ngiyenze kancolo)
Awu! Vuma nawe bo!
Awu! Vuma nawe bo!
Hayi bo!
[Outro]
Love, Damini
