this i know - shingi mavima lyrics
intro (shingi mavima)
uh…
it’s like, when it comes to this life thing?
you never know man
chorus (shingi mavima)
days won’t always be like this, this i know
noone knows what tomorrow brings, still i go
this living isn’t easy, believe i keep breathing
till the day that he calls us home
zvanzi misi haienzani, ndizvozvo
ramangwana harina nyanzvi, ndikoko
zveraramo marwadzo, chirangano kutongo
ramba takabatariria ipapo
verse 1 (king david koresh)
do you recall, the pride before the fall?
n*ggas was tall, but in life they turned small
remember the projects?
dead names on the wall
what is the topic?
we all die, so we ball
too materialistic
young, black and gifted
stay drunk and splifted
the purpose, i missed it
don’t get it twisted, guns get lifted
down in soweto, felt home cause it’s ghetto
who are we to judge?
we all skull dug
we all use drugs
send each other slugs
run off on the plug
we all f*cked up
tell a n*gga, “what?”
roll another blunt
my mother tried to k!ll herself when i was sixteen
g*ngb*nging, robbing n*ggas
and mescaline
amphetamines
s*x with the cheer team
what did it mean?
nightmares can turn to dreams
on the scene, young teens
a k!ller team
can’t read
but do fractions and triple beams
lost seeds, in the weeds with dirty schemes
can you please, go back and rescue me?
from the disease of street crimes and felonies
n*gga
street crimes and felonies
chorus
days won’t always be like this, this i know
noone knows what tomorrow brings, still i go
this living isn’t easy, believe i keep breathing
till the day that he calls us home
zvanzi misi haienzani, ndizvozvo
ramangwana harina nyanzvi, ndikoko
zveraramo marwadzo, chirangano kutongo
ramba takabatariria ipapo
verse 2 (shingi mavima)
i’ve been chasing goals that are more profound than digits
been chased by trolls since i started building bridges
i got this spirit of ubuntu that i meditate on daily
stoic mind of epictetus, try and let none of this faze me
maybe, but daily, my flaws are revealed
i’m a bad card player don’t know how to deal
and if you ask me how i’m doing, you know big shingi chilly chill
it’s not because i’m good, it’s coz i really don’t know how to feel
and this laid back depiction, has been written up in fiction/
scripted by these pills that i eat without prescription]
the only constant high is this high blood pressure
32 coming to terms it won’t get better
and i dont mean to sound ungrateful, i know god has been faithful
‘i walked up to the table and i walked away with platefuls
but i’m only human, i keep tryna level up
got my pedal to the metal til the day i self destruct
chorus
days won’t always be like this, this i know
noone knows what tomorrow brings, still i go
this living isn’t easy, believe i keep breathing
till the day that he calls us home
zvanzi misi haienzani, ndizvozvo
ramangwana harina nyanzvi, ndikoko
zveraramo marwadzo, chirangano kutongo
ramba takabatariria ipapo
verse 3 (shingi mavima)
what’s the worst that could happen
shingi stops rapping
the crowd ain’t impressed no more, they stopped clapping
the moment keeps fading til it’s white and black and
silent, feels like we watching charlie chaplin
pop my eyes open, realize that i’m just napping
but the power of dreams is often bigger than reality
represents you in the absence of insanity
provides you the clarity to see yourself transparently
you say my flow’s deep? ain’t that something
all this fancy wordplay could amount to nothing
it’s not about the props or the beats you crushing
it’s all about the truth and the lives you touching
so every life lived should be purposeful right?
well when i’ve gone 360 in the circle of life
take my body to zimbabwe on the earliest flight
lay me to rest, six*feet, dressed in purple and white
and as amazing grace plays, don’t forget to mention
here lies a man who had the best intentions
chorus
days won’t always be like this, this i know
noone knows what tomorrow brings, still i go
this living isn’t easy, believe i keep breathing
till the day that he calls us home
zvanzi misi haienzani, ndizvozvo
ramangwana harina nyanzvi, ndikoko
zveraramo marwadzo, chirangano kutongo
ramba takabatariria ipapo
