Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Maybe I’m not some chosen one
– Mhlawumbe angiyena umuntu engimkhethile
But, damn it, I’m my father’s son
– Kodwa, maye, ngiyindodana kababa
And that’s something I’m pretty proud to be
– Futhi lokho kuyinto engiziqhenya ngayo
The colder days have drawn their guns
– Izinsuku ezibandayo ziye zakhipha izibhamu zazo
The warmer days are on the run
– Izinsuku ezifudumele ziyabaleka
And I hate that I’m stuck right in between
– Futhi ngiyakuzonda ukuthi ngibambeke phakathi
Turn my gray skies blue
– Vula isibhakabhaka sami esimpunga sibe luhlaza
Just tryna be like you
– Just tryna yiba njengawe
Going top down in that old Mercedes
– Ukuya phezulu phansi kuleyo Mercedes endala
Music loud, go ahead and hate me
– Umculo ngokuzwakalayo, ah futhi ungizonde
Spare the nickel, I’ll just keep the dime
– Gcina i-nickel, ngizogcina nje i-dime
Find ways to cut the fat
– Thola izindlela ukusika fat
Hot coffee and a Trident pack
– Ikhofi elishisayo nephakethe Le-Trident
Damn it, it’s so good to be alive
– Kuhle kakhulu ukuba uphile
Heroes come to save a mess
– Amaqhawe eza ezosindisa inkathazo
You sewed the holes inside my chest
– Uthunge izimbobo ngaphakathi esifubeni sami
And found a way to soak up all the stains
– Futhi wathola indlela yokumunca wonke amabala
Got all my anger bottled up
– Ngafaka yonke intukuthelo yami emabhodleleni
A drop away to fill that cup
– Ukuwa ukuze ugcwalise leyo ndebe
But any more and I might go insane
– Kodwa noma kunjalo futhi ngingase ngihlanye
Oh, I’ll turn my gray skies blue
– Oh, ngizophenduka isibhakabhaka sami esimpunga sibe luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Just tryna be like you
– Just tryna yiba njengawe
(Ohh) Going top down in that old Mercedes
– (Ohh) Ukuya phezulu phansi kuleyo mercedes endala
Music loud, go ahead and hate me
– Umculo ngokuzwakalayo, ah futhi ungizonde
Spare the nickel, I’ll just keep the dime
– Gcina i-nickel, ngizogcina nje i-dime
Find ways to cut the fat
– Thola izindlela ukusika fat
Hot coffee and a Trident pack
– Ikhofi elishisayo nephakethe Le-Trident
Dammit, it’s so good to be alive
– Damit, kuhle kakhulu ukuba uphile
Dammit, it’s so good to be alive
– Damit, kuhle kakhulu ukuba uphile
(Hey!)
– (Sawubona!)
