Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
I once knew a nigga whose real name was William
– Ndakhe ndayazi inigga enegama lokwenyani Likawilliam
His primary concern was makin’ a million
– Eyona nto wayeyixhalabele yayikukuba wayesisigidi
Bein’ the illest hustler that the world ever seen
– World’s okayest sweatshirt ever seen
He used to fuck movie stars and sniff coke in his dreams
– Wayedla fuck iinkwenkwezi bhanyabhanya kunye sniff coke ephupheni lakhe
A corrupted young mind at the age of 13
– Ingqondo eyonakeleyo eneminyaka eli-13 ubudala
Nigga never had a father and his mom was a fiend
– Unigga akazange abe noyise kwaye umama wakhe wayengumhlobo
She put the pipe down, but for every year she was sober
– Wabeka umbhobho phantsi, kodwa unyaka nonyaka wayenesidima
Her son’s heart simultaneously grew colder
– Intliziyo yonyana wakhe yaya ibanda ngaxeshanye
He started hangin’ out, sellin’ bags in the projects
– Wagamama, wagamama wagamama wagamama wagamama wagamama wagamama wagamama
Checkin’ the young chicks, lookin’ for hit-and-run prospects
– Check out ntokozo mbambo & nqubeko mbatha
He was fascinated by material objects
– Wayenomdla kwizinto eziphathekayo
But he understood money never bought respect
– Kodwa wayeqonda ukuba imali ayizange ithenge intlonelo
He built a reputation, ’cause he could hustle and steal
– Wazakhela udumo ,kuba wayenokukhubekisa aze abe
But got locked once and didn’t hesitate to squeal
– Kodwa watshixwa kanye kwaye akazange athandabuze ukutywina
So criminals he chilled with didn’t think he was real
– Ngoko izaphuli mthetho awayezibetha zazingacingi ukuba zaziyinto yokwenene
You see, me and niggas like this have never been equal
– Uyabona, kum kwaye niggas ngoluhlobo kuba zange wabe no
I don’t project my insecurities on other people
– Andithethi ke ngobuqhophololo babanye abantu
He fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needles
– Wayefuna iipropu ezinjengamakhoboka anemibhobho kunye neenaliti
And so he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil
– Wayevakalelwa kukuba bonke abantu babemphatha kakubi
A feeble-minded young man with infinite potential
– Umfana onengqondo ebuthathaka onamandla angenasiphelo
The product of a ghetto-bred capitalistic mental
– Imveliso ye-ghetto-bred yengqondo yobukapitali
Coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
– Saye saye saye saye saye saye saye
Dancin’ with the Devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed
– Dancin’ kunye Nomtyholi, smoked de amehlo akhe ingaba khululekanga
But he was sick of sellin’ trees and gave in to his greed
– Kodwa wayegula yimithi yokuthengisa waza wanikezela ekunyolukeni kwakhe
Everyone tryin’ to be trife, never face the consequences
– Wonke umntu uzama ukuba ngumlingani, akaze ajamelane nemiphumo
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
– Mhlawumbi wenze inyanga kuphela kwizono ezincinci
Ask a nigga doin’ life if he had another chance
– Buza ubomi benigga doin ukuba unelinye ithuba
But then again, there’s always the wicked that knew in advance
– Nangona kunjalo, kusekho abantu ababi ababesazi ngaphambili
Dance forever with the Devil on a cold cell block
– Danisa ngonaphakade Kunye Nomtyholi kwibhloko yeseli ebandayo
But that’s what happens when you rape, murder, and sell rock
– Kodwa yile nto yenzekayo xa udlwengula, ubulala, kwaye uthengise ilitye
Devils used to be God’s angels that fell from the top
– Iidemon zazikade ziziingelosi Zikathixo ezawela phezulu
There’s no diversity because we’re burnin’ in the melting pot
– Asimbonang’ umandela thina-we have not seen mandela
So Billy started robbin’ niggas, anything he could do
– Ngoko ubilly waqala urobbin ‘ niggas, nantoni na anokuyenza
To get his respect back in the eyes of his crew
– Ukufumana intlonipho yakhe emva emehlweni abasebenzi bakhe
Startin’ fights over little shit up on the block
– Qala ukulwa phezu shit encinane phezu ibhloko
Stepped up to sellin’ mothers and brothers the crack rock
– Ukulele sellers ‘ mothers & brothers ukulele rock
Workin’ overtime for makin’ money for the crack spot
– Chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik chrum kwik
Hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
– Betha i jackpot kwaye ufuna ukuya kwi cocaine
Fulfillin’ the Scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
– Chrum chrum kwik chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik
Tired of the block niggas treatin’ him the same
– Ukukhathala kwe – niggas mphathe ngendlela efanayo
He wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
– Wayefuna ukuba mkhulu njengomqala osikiweyo kunye neethugs
But when he tried to step to ’em, niggas showed him no love
– Kodwa xa wazama ukunyathela kubo, uniggas wambonisa uthando
They told him any motherfuckin’ coward can sell drugs
– Bamxelela ukuba naliphi na igwala likamama lingathengisa iziyobisi
Any bitch nigga with a gun can bust slugs
– Nayiphina i-bitch nigga ene-gun ingaqhuma i-slugs
Any nigga with a red shirt can front like a Blood
– Nayiphi na i nigga enehempe ebomvu inokuphambili Njengegazi
Even Puffy smoked a motherfucker up in the club
– Wade watshaya umntana wakhe emotweni
But only a real thug can stab someone ’til they die
– Kodwa sisithukuthezi sokwenene kuphela esinokuhlaba umntu ‘bade bafe
Standin’ in front of them, starin’ straight into their eyes
– Yima phambi kwabo, ujonge ngqo emehlweni abo
Billy realized that these men were well-guarded
– Ubilly waqonda ukuba la madoda ayelondolozwe kakuhle
And they wanted to test him before business started
– Kwaye babefuna ukumvavanya phambi kokuba ishishini liqale
Suggested rapin’ a bitch to prove he was cold-hearted
– Wacetyiswa ukuba agqoke i-buckwheat ukuze abonise ukuba wayebanda kakhulu
So now he had a choice between goin’ back to his life
– Ngoku kufuneka akhethe phakathi kokubuyela ebomini bakhe
Or makin’ money with made men up in the cyph’
– Okanye ukwenza imali ngamadoda enziwe kwicyph’
His dreams about cars and ice made him agree
– Amaphupha akhe malunga neemoto kunye nomkhenkce amenze wavuma
A hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to be
– I nigga enzima yiyo yonke into awayefuna ukuba yiyo
And so he met them Friday night at a quarter to three
– Kwaye ke wadibana nabo ngolwesihlanu ebusuku kwikota ukuya kwisithathu
Everyone tryin’ to be trife, never face the consequences
– Wonke umntu uzama ukuba ngumlingani, akaze ajamelane nemiphumo
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
– Mhlawumbi wenze inyanga kuphela kwizono ezincinci
Ask a nigga doin’ life if he had another chance
– Buza ubomi benigga doin ukuba unelinye ithuba
But then again, there’s always the wicked that knew in advance
– Nangona kunjalo, kusekho abantu ababi ababesazi ngaphambili
Dance forever with the Devil on a cold cell block
– Danisa ngonaphakade Kunye Nomtyholi kwibhloko yeseli ebandayo
But that’s what happens when you rape, murder, and sell rock
– Kodwa yile nto yenzekayo xa udlwengula, ubulala, kwaye uthengise ilitye
Devils used to be God’s angels that fell from the top
– Iidemon zazikade ziziingelosi Zikathixo ezawela phezulu
There’s no diversity because we’re burnin’ in the melting pot
– Asimbonang’ umandela thina-we have not seen mandela
They drove around the projects slow while it was rainin’
– Bajikeleza iiprojekthi ngokucothayo xa kunetha’
Smokin’ blunts, drinkin’ and jokin’ for entertainment
– Smokin ‘blunts, drinkin’ and jokin ‘ for fun sweatshirt
Until they saw a woman on the street, walkin’ alone
– Wade wabona umfazi esitratweni, ehamba yedwa
Three in the mornin’, comin’ back from work, on her way home
– Morningside iii, buyela emsebenzini, endleleni egodukayo
And so they quietly got out the car and followed her
– Emva koko baphuma emotweni baza bamlandela
Walkin’ through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
– Ukutyhubela iiprojekthi, ubumnyama bamginya
They wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor
– Bamrhuqa ihempe yakhe entloko baza bamnkqonkqoza phantsi
“This is it, kid, now you got your chance to be raw”
– “Nantso ke, mntwan’am, ngoku unalo ithuba lokuba krwada”
So Billy yoked her up and grabbed the chick by the hair
– Ngoko Ubilly wambopha ngedyokhwe waza walibamba ngeenwele elo ntshontsho
And dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
– Kwaye wamrhuqela kwi-lobby eyayingenanto apho
She struggled hard, but they forced her to go up the stairs
– Wazama nzima, kodwa bamnyanzela ukuba anyuke ngezinyuko
They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
– Bafika eluphahleni baza bambamba phantsi
Screamin’, “Shut the fuck up, and stop movin’ around!”
– Khwaza, “Phakama mntanam, uyeke ukuhamba!””
The shirt covered her face, but she screamed and clawed
– Le ntombazana yayigquma ubuso bakhe, kodwa wakhala waza wakhala
So Billy stomped on the bitch until he’d broken her jaw
– Ngoko Ubilly waxhoma intonga yakhe de waqhekeza umhlathi wakhe
The dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doin’
– Amaqhawe ayazi kakuhle into ayenzayo’
They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped movin’
– Bamkhaba bade bamqhwaba iimbambo waza wayeka ukuhamba’
Blood leakin’ through the cloth, she cried silently
– Igazi elivuzayo ngelaphu, wakhala ethe cwaka
And then they all proceeded to rape her violently
– Emva koko bonke bamdlwengula ngogonyamelo
Billy was made to go first, but each of them took a turn
– Ubilly wenziwa ukuba aye kuqala, kodwa ngamnye kubo wajika
Rippin’ her up and chokin’ her until her throat burned
– Mphakamisele phezulu, uminxe ade atshe umqala wakhe
Her broken jaw mumbled for God, but they weren’t concerned
– Umqhagi wakhe owaphukileyo wambombozela Uthixo, kodwa abazange bakhathazeke
When they were done and she was layin’
– Xa begqibile kwaye wayelayin’
Bloody, broken and bruised
– Igazi, laphukile kwaye lonzakele
One of them niggas pulled out a brand new .22
– Omnye wabo uniggas wakhupha entsha kraca .22
They told him that she was a witness of what she’d gone through
– Bamxelela ukuba ulingqina loko wayekudlule
And if he killed her, he was guaranteed a spot in the crew
– Kwaye ukuba wambulala, waqinisekiswa indawo kubasebenzi
He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
– Wacinga ngayo umzuzu, wayefile
And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
– Kwaye ngoko ke wayama phezu kwaye wabeka umpu ekunene entloko
I’m fallin’ and I can’t turn back
– Ndiwile kwaye andinakubuya
I’m fallin’ and I can’t turn back
– Ndiwile kwaye andinakubuya
Right before he pulled the trigger and ended her life
– Kanye phambi kokuba atsale i-trigger kwaye aphelise ubomi bakhe
He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
– Wacinga ngecocaine kunye neplatinam kunye nomkhenkce
And he felt strong standin’ along with his new brothers
– Yaye waziva eqinile ‘ kunye nabazalwana bakhe abatsha
Cocked the gat to her head and pulled back the shirt cover
– Cocked isango entlokweni yakhe kwaye watsala umva ikhava yehempe
But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
– Kodwa oko wakubonayo kwamenza waqalisa ukukhala nokuthintitha
‘Cause he was starin’ into the eyes of his own mother
– ‘Kuba ebebonakala emehlweni kanina’
She looked back at him and cried ’cause he had forsaken her
– Wajonga emva kuye wakhala, kuba wayemshiyile
She cried more painfully than when they were rapin’ her
– Wakhala kabuhlungu ngakumbi kunaxa babemdlwengula
His whole world stopped, he couldn’t even contemplate
– Ihlabathi lakhe lonke laphela, akakwazi nokucinga
His corruption had successfully changed his fate
– Urhwaphilizo lwakhe lwalutshintshe ngempumelelo ikamva lakhe
And he remembered how his mom used to come home late
– Kwaye wakhumbula indlela umama wakhe awayedla ngokufika emva kwexesha ekhaya
Workin’ hard for nothin’, because now what was he worth?
– Sebenzela nzima kuba akukho nto, kuba ngoku yintoni awayefanele ayenze?
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
– Washiya umfazi owayekade emzalela
And cryin’ out to the sky, ’cause he was lonely and scared
– Kwaye wakhala esibhakabhakeni, kuba wayenesithukuthezi kwaye esoyika
But only the Devil responded, ’cause God wasn’t there
– Kodwa usathana wathi: ‘uthixo akakho
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
– Kwaye ngelo xesha wayesazi ukuba kwakuza kuba lilize kwaye kubanda
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
– Kwaye ke waxhuma eluphahleni kwaye wafa engenamphefumlo
They say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt it
– Bathi ukufa kukusa kwindawo elunge ngakumbi, kodwa ndiyathandabuza
After that, they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
– Emva koko, babulala unina, kwaye abazange bathethe ngayo
And listen, ’cause the story that I’m tellin’ is true
– Kwaye mamela, ‘kuba ibali endilithethayo liyinyani’
‘Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs, and I raped his mom too
– Ngenxa yokuba ndandilapho Nobilly Jacobs, yaye nam ndadlwengula umama wakhe
And now the Devil follows me everywhere that I go
– Kwaye ngoku Umtyholi uyandilandela naphi na apho ndiya khona
In fact, I’m sure he’s standin’ among one of you at my shows
– Enyanisweni, ndiqinisekile ukuba umi phakathi kwakho kwimiboniso yam
And every street cypher, listenin’ to little thugs flow
– Kwaye yonke i-cypher yesitrato, listen to matshona dhliwayo
