Change (Ivili Liya Jika)

[Chorus]
Some things change
Some remain the same
Ivili liya jika (Yah, yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall bona they will rise (Yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall but we so surprised

[Verse 1]
Pain in my thoughts tryna write this song
But no pen could right my wrongs
Thinking of the things I did just tryna win
Forgot family until I had a dying kin
Now I’m dreaming of the time we coulda spent
I coulda been a better cuz, coulda made a better attempt
Manje boy you gone and
But you remain in my voice and songs and
My heart, my ancestry, my boys are strong
So when I roar in this jungle, my noise is Kong
From here to Naija, still on the search for the Rands and Nairas
Notes with tigеrs
Still on the verge to risе up
You still on the curb and ciphers, now that’s for misers
And I’m tryna get paid
And God gave me the way, the talent that he gave me

[Chorus]
Some things change
Some remain the same
Ivili liya jika (Yah, yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall bona they will rise (Yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall but we so surprised

[Verse 2]
From suka le, ngabona lent’i’lula nje
As long ng’hlale ng’phusha je
Ng’yoz’thola living good, life kumnande
Animal, give the game life JumanjI
Umfana kaMagubane
Africa’s champ, dumbaye
Been killing from mzukwane
And I’ve been running it for long, rap Mugabe yeah
I’m with my boy cruising daar es’god’ phola
S’gibel’ i-Porsche and daar e-rose mora
Or, sithole la izol’ ikhona
Mara s’true si-blind mara s’yan’foja
I know they dying to plot
But we strike while the iron’s hot, ntwana s’on’goba
I know they firing shots
But it’s okay, got my eyes on the guap, mfana s’on’bona

[Chorus]
Some things change
Some remain the same
Ivili liya jika (Yah, yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall bona they will rise (Yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall but we so surprised

[Verse 3]
Fele Awuth'yam', vele ngasho ngathi "Bafun’isandla nengalo mngani"
Bafun’uhambe ngesab’is’khathi
When I talk greener pastures babhek’ingadi
So we don’t vision the same thing
Everything I vision I envision to claim, king
Nah, we don’t mission the same thing
Everything I mission their admission is paying, king
In blood and sweat, tears and stress
It always gets harder when you near success, ya
So, kwamel’ u-pushe
And never give up, and fede ngek’ u-lose
And better live up to all the disciplines
’Cause if ufun’ inyuku, it takes more than wishing it
Gotta get up and go, pusha pressa
’Cause if you ever die broke bazok’chwensa

[Chorus]
Some things change
Some remain the same
Ivili liya jika (Yah, yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall bona they will rise (Yah yah yah)
Bathi we gon’ fall but we so surprised

[Outro]
Round and round, up and down it goes, it goes
Ngithi round and round, up and down it goes, it goes
Lalala-lala-lala-lala-lala-lala
Lalala-lala-lala-lala-lala-lala
