Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na, oh
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na, oh
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
[Verse 2]
Ng'ban' ozond'phelezela
Koluhambo lok'nyamezela
Mandla am ayaphela, ayaphela, phela
Ngakhalis' umlozi, nothing
Ndicul' iculo abandiva
Ngakhalis' umlozi nothing, nothing, nothing
[Verse 3]
Kodw' impilo bethuna
Why it gotta be so cruel
Kodw' impilo bethuna
I just don't know what to do
[Verse 4]
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na, oh
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na, oh
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
[Verse 5]
Look, I don't wanna write about pain anymore
See, I'm afraid I might forget to feel the opposite
But I don't wanna lie, that shit would pain me even more
And maybe if I pen it, I may just accomplish it
[Verse 6]
Eh ke sa yile o phanda kau
Same ndaba-ndaba since ngisese yintwana kau
Ngisa bhalabhala and I made it out somehow
Sometimes I wonder why, 'cause bes'bhaya esingana plan
Ah, sizobona kuhlanganani and waar kwakhanya
[Verse 7]
And I put it all back in the hood for safe keeping
Ngaqubula amagenge i-flag li-raise'iwe
Sathola into yokuhlafuna instead of day dreaming
And then I lost Pantsula to the same streets eish
[Verse 8]
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na, oh
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na, oh
Iyo kutheni na
Iyo kutheni na
