Текст песни Thula (feat. Bongane Sax, Blaklez & Yallunder) - Touchline

I think I might be dying
But I might be lying
Maybe he owns my soul
But the body's mine

I need to go back in time just to find my mind
'Cause I think it got lost in my darkest times
I don't watch the news and those videos too

I think black on black killing always ups their views
What you think your kid's doing when he's not at school?
It's not a study group, it's a gangsta crew
Ngifun' kwaz kuthi usthol' ikhuph' isbamu at that age

Funde ikhuFuneuku kwaze ukuth' umuntu usazi grade 8 wena?
Funeral for your son, a mom's pain
Ntwana had to die to be the face of a campaign

A life in the fast lane
Got these kids going mad, manje ama-blood stain
Every week sifak' itende singcwab' abangan' bethu

Hold me tight mama wami it might be my last day
I'm saying...
Ngikhathel' uk' pretend-a eintlik
I'm tired of these justice isban'-bani hashtag

Tired of these cops that don't help but stand back
If it was your friend would you call this bad
Acts or would you jump in and have your friend's back

I'm tired of the response!?
I'm tired of politics they just acting and pretend
To care when we know it's for votes and that's facts

Thula mama thula
Thula mama thula
Thula mama thula
Thula mama thula
Nkoke kuzo dlula(kuzo dlula)
Thula mama thula(konke kuzo dlula)
Thula mama thula

Mhhhm, ah yes!
Let me paint a picture with a tainted scripture
They can't feel our pain so they can't depict us
Listen, we're the future, you can't dismiss us

You rape the system and parade as victors, whoa
Is this the freedom that many people die for?
We see you stuffing your face, many people die poor
We gon' be alright, hey mama what you crying for

Apple of your eye, sell myself I'm the iStore
Should've prayed, should've listened to the preacher
But I lost face so my heart a little weaker
Another mother crying, another son meets the reaper

All that's left is blood stains on a sneaker
The long arm of the law is breaking
Who's there to snatch a brother from the palms of Satan?
Hope is fading, you're distracted

All you debating, is between your two favourite rappers
And who's the greatest?

Thula mama thula
Thula mama thula
Thula mama thula
Thula mama thula
Nkoke kuzo dlula(kuzo dlula)
Thula mama thula(konke kuzo dlula)
Thula mama thula

MaOulady ungakhali, i'ntwana zakho zisamile
Ngibong' umdali ukuthi sonke sisaphila
Ubhuti wami usejele and I don't have the key
But I have the bars that can set the people free, ironic

The streets are mad, we stay indoors
The devil has the sound of us crying as his ring tone
And Let's spoke about the iStore
My eyes tore when I saw what he's dropping, need a blindfold

The best way to hide pain is a good smile
I heard black excellence is a hood crime
He killed his role in? Good times
But that was a dress rehearsal for his goodbye

Pastor is raising people from the dead
I wanna see dad's raise kids instead
I hope friends don't retweet my fears
I hope God don't blue-tick my prayers
