Eastern Cape Flow Lyrics

This that Eastern Cape Flow

On a bus drive home

I just wanna take it slow

Yonke iimihla yi-Cawa

Ndiyitshaya isaqhuma

Sapha lengqawa

Kwalala igqubusha kwavuka iqhawe

Tshaya isaqhuma

Sapha lengqawa

Kwalala igqubusha

Kwavuka iqhawe

I just want the finer things

Makoti with a diamond ring

Funa ikumkanikazi

Xhase abantwana baka-makazi

I-Sparapipo ndisifaka iswazi

Tyhini ezintwana azinalo ulwazi

Embrace my heritage

Legacy never perishing

Life's really just make-shift

I'm just navigating through the spaces

Little sis growing too fast

Like I never taught to tie her laces

Granma still on pension

Everyday she pray for my redemption

Love 'em with all of my heart

Had to leave for the sake of my art

Even left the girl I loved

Had to do it oh my love

Now you trippin'

You started dribblin'

Now I might fuck your siblin'

Ooouu, I lie I'm triflin'

At one point I thought about wifin'

Now it's uphill

We just been hikin'

The ship has sailed

Excuse me I'm vikin'

"I think it's Con I saw"

Yes you looking at the connoisseur

Africa covering contour

Who goin' tell me that I can't tour?

Land in Cote d'Ivoire like "Bonjour"

Coast is ivory, no rivalry

Fuck tribalism

Peace and love is my religion

This that Eastern Cape Flow

On a bus drive home

I just wanna take it slow

Yonke iimihla yi-Cawa

Ndiyitshaya isaqhuma

Sapha lengqawa

Kwalala igqubusha kwavuka iqhawe

Tshaya isaqhuma

Sapha lengqawa

Kwalala igqubusha

Kwavuka iqhawe

This that Eastern Cape Flow

On a bus drive home

I just wanna take it slow

Yonke iimihla yi-Cawa

Ndiyitshaya isaqhuma

Sapha lengqawa

Kwalala igqubusha kwavuka iqhawe

Tshaya isaqhuma

Sapha lengqawa

Kwalala igqubusha

Kwavuka iqhawe

So good so far

Long nights on sofa

Winter days, cold nights

Colder heart, bold start

Only 'bout survival and your art

And you know you could be Mozart

Pap no vleis, more starch

You still say grace and you say it with grace

Born to die as I cradle to my grave

Buyalambatha, akuncedi utshambaza

i-Bhayi alombathwa

Nintsi abaqhatwa

Cimba uyaqhasha

Sapha imali mhlekazi nding'Laqhasha

Ayikho indoda ethenjiswe ungomso

Ba awuna themba awuna ngomso

Take it continental

Make it monumental

You don't get the vision

Had to mourn your mental

Life really 'bout adaptation

Sacrifice, hella patience

Took away my parent's dream

Of attending my graduation

But I'm gradually elevating

On route to greatness

In the long haul it's goin' be celebration

(Long haul it's goin' be celebration)
