Dear Adonis
– U-Adonis Othandekayo
I’m sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest
– Ngiyaxolisa ukuthi lowo muntu ungubaba wakho, ngivumele ngithembeke
It takes a man to be a man, your dad is not responsive
– Kudingeka umuntu abe yindoda, ubaba wakho akaphenduli
I look at him and wish your grandpa woulda wore a condom
– Ngimbheka futhi ngifisa sengathi umkhulu wakho angagqoka ikhondomu
I’m sorry that you gotta grow up and then stand behind him
– Ngiyaxolisa ngokuthi kumelwe ukhule bese umi ngemva kwakhe
Life is hard, I know, the challenge is always gon’ beat us home
– Ukuphila kunzima, ngiyazi, inselele ihlale isishaya ekhaya
Sometimes our parents make mistakes that affect us until we grown
– Ngezinye izikhathi abazali bethu benza amaphutha asithintayo size sikhule
And you’re a good kid that need good leadership
– Futhi uyingane enhle edinga ubuholi obuhle
Let me be your mentor since your daddy don’t teach you shit
– Ngivumele ngibe umeluleki wakho njengoba ubaba wakho engakufundisi
Never let a man piss on your leg, son
– Ungalokothi uvumele indoda ithukuthele emlenzeni wakho, ndodana
Either you die right there or pop that man in the head, son
– Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ufela khona lapho noma uphakamisa lowo muntu ekhanda, ndodana
Never fall in the escort business, that’s bad religion
– Ungalokothi uwele ebhizinisini lokuhambisa, lokho kuyinkolo embi
Please remember, you could be a bitch even if you got bitches
– Sicela ukhumbule, ungase ube bitch ngisho uma got bitches
Never code-switch, whether right or wrong, you’re a Black man
– Ungalokothi ushintshe ikhodi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kulungile noma akulungile, ungumuntu Omnyama
Even if it don’t benefit your goals, do some push-ups, get some discipline
– Ngisho noma kungazuzisi imigomo yakho, yenza ama-push-ups athile, uthole isiyalo esithile
Don’t cut them corners like your daddy did, fuck what Ozempic did
– Musa ukusika kubo emakhoneni njengoba ubaba wakho enza, fuck lokho Ozempic akwenza
Don’t pay to play with them Brazilians, get a gym membership
– Ungakhokhi ukudlala nabo Brazilians, uthole ubulungu gym
Understand, no throwin’ rocks and hidin’ hands, that’s law
– Underst, akukho ukujikijela amatshe nezandla ezifihlekile, lokho kungumthetho
Don’t be ashamed ’bout who you wit’, that’s how he treat your moms
– Ungabi namahloni ‘ngokuthi ubani omqondayo, ‘yileyo ndlela aphatha ngayo omama bakho
Don’t have a kid to hide a kid to hide again, be sure
– Ungabi nengane ukufihla ingane ukufihla futhi ,ureiseka
Five percent will comprehend, but ninety-five is lost
– Amaphesenti amahlanu ayoqonda, kodwa amashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nanhlanu alahlekile
Be proud of who you are, your strength come from within
– Ziqhenye ngokuthi ungubani, amandla akho avela ngaphakathi
Lotta superstars that’s real, but your daddy ain’t one of them
– Lotta superstars lokho kungokoqobo, kodwa ubaba wakho akayena omunye wabo
And you nothing like him, you’ll carry yourself as king
– Futhi awufani naye, uzozithwala njengenkosi
Can’t understand me right now? Just play this when you eighteen
– Angikwazi ukungiqonda manje? Just ukudlala lokhu uma wena nesishiyagalombili
