Mask Off (feat. Manny Yack)

Let me put the mask down and tell you what it is

Let me put the phone down and talk about the real

Show you what I see when I'm looking in the mirror

It's not like you see me in the shows when you nearer,

The pressure weighing heavy on my head,

it's messing with my self esteem please let me breath

Tranna build my confidence brick by brick

then my overthinking habits start playing it's tricks

I lie so much I confide to the block so much I never had a father figure who had the words to touch me yeah, maybe he's an easy target I can blame, maybe if he was around I would turn out the same

Eminy imini ngike ngizwe engathi mhlampe ukphila, akdalelwanga mina, impumeleyo isesandlen idlal ukshibilika, I just want you to see that nobody is perfect, but syaphusha cause sfunukphila

Ye, ye, ye, ye

Ng'cel'ukuk'khumbuza mngani

Angikho'msulwa nami

Nginezibazi njengawe

Ye, ye, ye, ye

Ng'cel'ukuk'khumbuza mngani

Angikho'msulwa nami

Nginezibazi njengawe

Sometimes I feel like I'm insane

Like for real, like some high power want me slain,

Sometimes my confidence makes me feel like I'm being vain

I used to be happier kid, but I've been changed,

Strange

I'm in the upside down.

With head held high,

Like homey whats up now?

On some ngeke ngeke ng'hlulwe into engakhulumi

But, nom' kukhon' okung'hlulayo ang'khulumi nami

Ama tell you no such,

Damn, I miss my **** Blue so much,

I done missed a whole lot, and he grew so much,

But those little phone calls man, they come so clutch,

I tell you,

Ngith' angisho nje, angsiy' insimbi

Ukuthi nje umuntu waphiy' ibhimbo

Ngila nje uk'juluk' aksiy' imlingo

Sbuyel' emakhaya angempela mas'shiy' imcimbi,

Ye, ye, ye, ye

Ng'cel'ukuk'khumbuza mngani

Angikho'msulwa nami

Nginezibazi njengawe

Ye, ye, ye, ye

Ng'cel'ukuk'khumbuza mngani

Angikho'msulwa nami

Nginezibazi njengawe

 Let's take it back to 2021 When I lost my mama

The type of pain I can't explain nami ngfisa uk'khwantsha

Lapho ngaphandle abantu babona izinto zami zihlangana

Kodwa namanje mangiphaphama eb'suku ngisanok'khala, qondile

On the way to chase my dreams I did a lot of things

I'm regretting every day I caused a lot of pain

I went against some **** that done put me in the game

Had no choice I had to make sure that my rent is paid, for real

Ngek' ngik'juthe bra wam

Nginamaphutha nja yam

Ukuthi mangiwa ngiyazicosha nje ngivuke mnganam

Despite the heights that I touch I'ma keep it a buck

No matter what I do I feel like I ain't doing enough

Is it because I'm a perfectionist

Is it because I'm trying to get to where my purpose is

All I know is I'ma die trying to live for this

Until then ngiphant'ushintshi ukuze ngenze ushintsho

Ye, ye, ye, ye

Ng'cel'ukuk'khumbuza mngani

angikho msulwa nam

Nginezibazi njengawe

Ye, ye, ye, ye

Ng'cel'ukuk'khumbuza mngani

Angikho msulwa nam

Nginezibazi njengawe
