Lyrics

[Intro]
Eh relax'a man ey
Vele, vele
[Verse 1]
Ng'thule ngik'bhekile
You wanna live my life
You only see the outside
And you think everything is alright
Ng'thule ngik'bhekile
You wanna live my life
You only see the outside
And you think everything is alright
[Verse 2]
Ufun' ukufaka iteki engil'fakayo
Ufun' ukushay' umswenk' engiwushayayo
Ufun' uk'phuza lent' engiyiphuzayo
(Ufun' ukuba yimi)
Ufun' ukuphusha itransi engiyiphushayo
Ufun' ukujola uCherry engimjolayo
Ufun' ukuhamba indawo engiyihambayo
(Ufun' ukuba yimi)
Yeh yeh
[Verse 3]
I see you tryna be me
But have you been where I've been
You ain’t seen what I've seen
See I was a friend
It took a lot to be clean
If you know what I mean
And now it's all history
Couldn’t let the devil get to me
Life is a mystery
Manje istayla sibuzwa kimi
[Verse 4]
Ey don’t judge me by my mistakes
Man dem don’t know what it takes
I used to sell my mixtapes
Praying I make some shit change
See me on your TV swear it wasn’t easy
I am not living freely
I just wanna be me
Man I just wanna be me
[Verse 5]
Ng'thule ngik'bhekile
You wanna live my life
You only see the outside
And you think everything is alright
Ng'thule ngik'bhekile
You wanna live my life
You only see the outside
And you think everything is alright
[Verse 6]
Ufun' ukufaka iteki engil'fakayo
Ufun' ukushay' umswenk' engiwushayayo
Ufun' uk'phuza lent' engiyiphuzayo
(Ufun' ukuba yimi)
Ufun' ukuphusha itransi engiyiphushayo
Ufun' ukujola uCherry engimjolayo
Ufun' ukuhamba indawo engiyihambayo
(Ufun' ukuba yimi)
[Verse 7]
Bathi skhokho ungene njani
Ng'cela ungand'buzi
Awunok' suvivor kulama size 9 boots
Uqale undazi sendiskimane nembuzi
Ufun' uk'fana nami
You don’t know what it took
[Verse 8]
My life is mooi van ver and ver van mooi
Phush' impilo yakho ungatyhafi boy
Maybe calling yami
Kunika nina i-hope
Camera lights, action
Fak' i-drip unxib' i-smile
[Verse 9]
Uphush' ithesho lakho
Ulibale ezomhlaba
Inhlungu zami ndiz'bhala kungoma qha
S'baleka oshwashwi and'sathembi nabangani
Uthi uyandazi you just know me from the Gram
Bhayzis' intshaba you don’t know who I am
Sitsha isonka s'post'e i-picture ze-Pizza
Nalatransi bendiyqhuba
Ndiyiboleke ku-my sister
Umona nguSathane
Ungavumi resist'a
[Verse 10]
Ng'thule ngik'bhekile
You wanna live my life
You only see the outside
And you think everything is alright
Ng'thule ngik'bhekile
You wanna live my life
You only see the outside
And you think everything is alright
[Outro]
Ufun' ukufaka iteki engil'fakayo
Ufun' ukushay' umswenk' engiwushayayo
Ufun' uk'phuza lent' engiyiphuzayo
(Ufun' ukuba yimi)
Ufun' ukuphusha itransi engiyiphushayo
Ufun' ukujola uCherry engimjolayo
Ufun' ukuhamba indawo engiyihambayo
(Ufun' ukuba yimi)
Yeh, yeh
