Bambelela by Sly X Clusive Lyrics
Ak'sena luth'ekhaya
Kumel' uhambe Uqinisel'
Uyek' ikhon' Uvukuphande
Noma bek' utshel' ukuthi kuncono uyeke phansi
U-give up
Ubatshele bonke that's a no no
Ngob' ubaba nomama bathi bambelela (bambelela)
Bambelela (bambelela)
Ubaba nomama bathi bambelela(bambelela
Bambelela
Ubaba nomama
Man I'm broke
And I don't feel like going home
And I'm like wow
Tell me what is going on
Cause I can't cope
I want a high life but I don't smoke
Every door I knock at I find closed
I wanna have highs than I have lows
I think I'm losing my mind
I could never take the things that I mine
I find it so hard to pray in these times
Watch me transform and reach my prime
But life was like nah sit down this ain't your time
You still need a polish be for you shine
That's why I went back to a 9 to 5
Man I hate the job but I need some funds
Cause it takes money to make money
If you knew what's at stake for me
You'd see why I don't need beef
Don't wanna get killed in these streets
When your own people are too greedy
Tried to give back, please believe me
The same people I gave a helping hand to
Are the ones to stab my back what's a man to do?
Ak'sena luth'ekhaya
Kumel' uhambe Uqinisel'
Uyek' ikhon' Uvukuphande
Noma bek' utshel' ukuthi kuncono uyeke phansi
U-give-up
Ubatshele bonke that's a no no
Ngob' ubaba no Ama bathi bambelela (bambelela)
Bambelela (bambelela)
Ubaba nomama bathi bambelela(bambelela
Bambelela
Ubaba nomama
I finally understand why people kill themselves
Since I'm not doing well
Life's a blessing and I'm living in hell
Fact from fiction, kinda hard to tell
And life feels more like a prison cell
And the rope is only way to escape
The hardest thing is living and keeping faith
Respect the ones with nothing but still pray
Went from a degree to a prison sentence
I promise you this isn't how he planned
Had to change due to his circumstances
Cause it hard to make a living from your passion
And you have nothing
No matter how much you cry
Or how hard you try
Man it makes no difference
That's thee unfairness of life
And I don't want to die
Without buying a house for my family and I
'cause we got kicked out too many times
By the people we love or was it the plan above?
That's a story for another day
Everybody want change but won't be the change
I'll negative burn down in flames
It's about the dash in between when you hit the grave
Ak'sena luth'ekhaya
Kumel' uhambe Uqinisel'
Uyek' ikhon' Uvukuphande
Noma bek' utshel' ukuthi kuncono uyeke phansi
U-give up
Ubatshele bonke that's a no no
Ngob' ubaba no Ama bathi bambelela (bambelela)
Bambelela (bambelela)
Ubaba nomama bathi bambelela(bambelela
Bambelela
Ubaba nomama
Kumel' uhambe Uqinisel'
Uyek' ikhon' Uvukuphande
Noma bek' utshel' ukuthi kuncono uyeke phansi
U-give up
Ubatshele bonke that's a no no
Ngob' ubaba nomama bathi bambelela (bambelela)
Bambelela (bambelela)
Ubaba nomama bathi bambelela(bambelela
