Prayer by El Nino

(Liyeza)

Appreciate the sun and I dance in the rain

Smile when I'm up and I push through the pain

Ngoba mina nd'yazi ngeke k'hlale kunje, kunje, kunje

Appreciate the sun and I dance in the rain

Smile when I'm up and I push through the pain

Ngoba mina nd'yazi ngeke k'hlale kunje, kunje, kunje (Kuzolunga)

Nelam ixesha liyeza, yeah (Liyeza, liyeza)

Nelam ixesha liyeza, eh (Liyeza, liyeza)

Nelam ixesha liyeza (Liyeza, liyeza)

Nelam ixesha liyeza (Liyeza, liyeza)

Oko nd'bhambhe i-line bemane bend'ngenela

Waiting for my time, oko nd'hlale nd'bekezele

Njonge intanga zam, zonke zona z'phumelele

Standing in the back, ndihlala ndibaqhwabela

But I know each dog has got its day

Nd'guqe ngamadolo and I pray

Dear Lord, won't you carry me

Favor me, show me the way, so I see

Shut my human eyes, let the third eye open

Praying to the sun, read the word through the omens

I'm reading birth signs, that's the way of the old men

No church in the wild, and that's the daily testament

Many men have dug me a grave, and I still rose on the third day

And most days I find myself stuck and dwelling on my old ways

Rap maze, they got me going round and round in square routes

No breakthrough, this that circle within a square room

Kodwa eli ay'longcwaba It's the 10th world wonder

YiGolide yomhlaba I'm the miner, I'm the founder

Ra the Sun God's last born ndingunyana

Nkwenkwezi naphakade, I was chosen by Qamata

Nelam ixesha liyeza (Liyeza, liyeza)

Nelakho ixesha liyeza, eh

Appreciate the sun and I dance in the rain

Smile when I'm up and I push through the pain

Ngoba mina nd'yazi ngeke k'hlale kunje, kunje (Kuzolunga)

Appreciate the sun and I dance in the rain

Smile when I'm up and I push through the pain

Ngoba mina nd'yazi ngeke k'hlale kunje, kunje (Kuzolunga)

Nelam ixesha liyeza, yeah (Liyeza, liyeza)

Nelam ixesha liyeza, eh (Liyeza, liyeza)

Nelam ixesha liyeza (Liyeza, liyeza)

Nelam ixesha liyeza (Liyeza, liyeza)

Prayer by El Nino continuation

(Go Slow)

Go slow when you're loving me

I got bruises from the past

And they're triggering me

Go slow when you're loving me

I got bruises, I got scars

And they're triggering me

Go slow when you're loving me

Yeah, ay

Go slow when you're loving me

I got these scars on my back

These bite marks on my neck

Nail scratches and screaming echoes

That live free in my head

All these dark memories bother me

I toss and turn in my bed

I just run and never look back

When I see love on my back

I got no love left, no feelings

No fight in me left

Just and iceberg in that place

Where my heart used to beat

So, Go slow when you're loving me

I got bruises from the past

And they're triggering me

Go slow when you're loving me

I got bruises, I got scars

And they're triggering me

Go slow when you're loving me

Yeah, ay

Go slow when you're loving me

So, please love me with caution

Fuck all the extortion

Put my trust in you and I'm begging you

Cause my love is true and I'm open

For something new

And I promise you that I'll change my view

When I'm treating you

Change my attitude, change my ways

And I'll do my best just to cherish you

Get the bag and then build with you

Grow with you and never lie to you

Never make you cry like I did in the past

Leant a great deal and I broke hearts

And it shattered mine and it left me blind

Never saw my wrongs, I was always right

So, I'm asking you

To show me the light

Nd'yathanda uthanda ngentliziyo

Nd'yathanda uthandwa nguwe

Nd'yazama utshintsha my point of view

Ndiz'nikezele kuwe

Fuck uthemb' ilitye k'nothemb' umuntu

Beka ithemba lam kuwe

Kuhlwe kude kuze kuse

Unaphakade kude kube

Ixesha nalo lide lime

Xa indim nawe engekho omunye

Mhlaba nawo wona agingqe

Amaza nawo wona azinze

Thath' uthando lwam ulenz' olwakho

Nalo bambho lwam

First love is the best love

Ndak'thanda on the first sight

Go slow when you're loving me

I got bruises from the past

And they're triggering me

Go slow when you're loving me

I got bruises, I got scars

And they're triggering me

Go slow when you're loving me

Yeah, ay

Go slow when you're loving me

(Lomhlaba)

Yeah

I'm going through the motions lately

These feelings in my mind weighing heavy

I'm going through it all, winter to the fall

Heavy is the baggage, but I put it on God

Inyawo zam z'gcwel' udaka (Inyawo zam z'gcwel' udaka)

Inyawo zam k'dala z'hambha, k'dala nd'zama

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

Nd'phethi irhengqe nd'fundele pha kumadlelo aluhlaza

Nd'phethi izembhe ndihambha kwihlathikazi elimnyama

Fireflies light my way up like a wandering bark

I'm on track jumping hurdles like I'm Edwin Moses

Doper than a crack feme foaming on an overdose

Nyana kaPharoah like the Nile see my lines flow

I go, Anglo, African, my bars Gold

Yeah my mind glows like the sun so my seed grows

Rhythm in the blue I call it His and Hers Hop

This that superhero music that will take you to the top

Fund' indlela yam ngoba it comprises of success laws, yes uh

You see my heart is a Temple

My brain is a Castle

My mind is a Fortress

And my soul is Eternity

Marble floors, Golden doors

Wanna live like a God

I'm seeking mine, seek yours

I'm going through the motions lately

These feelings in my heart weighing heavy

I'm going through it all

I'm going through it all

Yeah

I'm going through the motions lately

These feelings in my mind weighing heavy

I'm going through it all, winter to the fall

Heavy is the baggage, but I put it on God

Inyawo zam z'gcwel' udaka (Inyawo zam z'gcwel' udaka)

Inyawo zam k'dala z'hambha, k'dala nd'zama

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba (I'm going)

Lomhlaba uyahlaba

And I know one of these days Imma make it

I know one of these days Imma be the best right here

I know one day I'm gonna be the best

I know, I know, I know, I know

Noba bangandivalela amasango

Noba bangandivalela ngaphandle

Imma kick through, Imma keep going

(Zithande)

Abanye, yeah

Learn to love myself now

I'm on one

Starin' in the mirror, there's a king in he's on one

Workin' on myself everyday, that's the plan now

Yeah, I love I

Yeah, I'm on one

Zithande wena k'qala ukuze ukwazi uthanda abanye, abanye (Learn to love myself, now I'm on one)

Zithande wena k'qala ukuze ukwazi uthanda abanye, abanye

Eh

Zithande

Mntanomuntu uzincome

Even if ubomi bakho bungeb'hlanga

Abantu bedlala ngawe xa ubanik' uthando lwakho

Benyukela ngesandla, yeah

Ungamthanda njani omnye umntu kodwa awuzithandi k'qala

Love gave birth to the stars, the galaxy, the earth

Uthando lwakhe lwasipha unyana wok'gqibela

Is'khondo sentliziyo is where all dreams manifest

All things on this Earth, Physics, Science to math

I'm talking symbols to words

The blessings to the curse

Whether in the ocean or it's standing on this land

Creatures of the air, or it's dwelling in your head

Zithande wena k'qala ukuze ukwazi uthanda abanye, oh yeah abanye

Learn to love myself now

I'm on one

Starin' in the mirror, there's a king and he's on one

Workin' on myself everyday, that's the plan now

Yeah, I love I

Yeah, I'm on one

Zithande wena k'qala ukuze ukwazi uthanda abanye, oh yeah abanye (Learn to love myself, now I'm on one)

Zithande wena k'qala ukuze ukwazi uthanda abanye, oh yeah abanye

Zithand, wen', kuzukwaz' uthanda abanye, abanye
