lyrics

I don’t trust people nor rocks
known to count the bucks coming out of the machine
my doors shut, keep ‘em all locked
around y’all punks I am not seen
you’ll never hear the name get trampled 
by rappers throwing tantrums over uncleared samples
be careful, my pen is more lethal
I identify as uyihlo 
No relation but son ‘em nonetheless 
summon dunderheads who assuming they’re the best 
laid to rest, spray a pest for bugging me
a Doom reference done so thuggingly
stunning flows I been jotting since a youngen
funny bone must got Parkinson’s or something 
the joints sound like he gave up halfway 
yet nasty

ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale 
ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale 
ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale 
ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale 

The tone has gone lazier
the voice is now amazinger
the word choices are nastier
than ibhodwe lezinja
The boy is rare 
he not depressed 
it annoys em here
I be gloomy, it spoils the air
yet I digress, that’s neither here nor there
on the track, it’s the unlikely pair
whom don’t know each other but gel like spiky hair 
grab a chair or stool
drool and stare
dine on edibles
through your ear 
cheer
make it loud and embarrassin’
and you’re allowed 
to go draw a comparison 
just don’t come near with your pencil sketches 
I do not care for whoever matches 
your ventured guesses
yesses 

ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale 
ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale ­
ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale 
ndisisiqengqe kulesyllabus
ngeke ningiqede vele nilibale
