lyrics

Attempts to get to know me feel invasive
even to the homies I do not reveal the basics
living by lonely don’t bother my the slightest
I’m fine with socialising but finer with silence.
Some say I’m bottled up but it isn’t that
if you were interesting I’d be interested
and I don’t miss a thing when I miss a chat
chaps seem to pick out all their topics off the internet
I exit the app
leave the phone charging
walk out the door
armed with a sunscreen
the sun king
while you’re scrolling, I be strolling
cooking in the rays till my skin colour’s golden
as Ms Jill Scott on a bike
my shoes are comfortable, they are suitable for hikes
plus I got drip, and it ain’t the sweat
I’ll respond to your text

I need a playlist when I’m cleaning
there’s not a stain missed even the plates are gleaming
I play rain sounds when I’m reading
even when it’s rain outside I still need em.
whether it’s a crutch or a preference
doesn’t matter much, thus just how I spend my weekend
and I’m picky when I pick them
known to pause a job till I find something decent
ah Benjamin Clementine
a dose of Madosini be the best medicine
I got Skullcandy for my sweet tooth,
I get a sugar craving whenever the beats mute
and when I sweep and one of the songs miss
I press skip or I restart the process
I be taking my time with the mess
I’ll respond late to your text

Ungafona

nak’sasa,
even then and’zuchaza
