Bambelela Lyrics by Emtee

Manando

2017

[Intro]
Ekse!
21 question
They wanna know, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
The wanna know now where I live
What I sip and where I been
How it goes down, I wasn't shit
Now everybody wanna take pics
I'm sorry, yeah
See, the Lord had different plans for me yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Nawe bambelela (Hold on)
Nawe bambelela (Hold on)
Nawe bambelela (Hold on)
Nawe bambelela (Bambelela)
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
Mama told me that I should pray before I go to sleep
But I found myself praying for my enemy
We stick around hoping they change though
After the rain comes a rainbow
And they trip when you say no
Even when they know, you go high
Life in the streets so high
They hate when you need no one, I don't see no one
Cause me and my team go high
They sipping on lean so high
Baba God He there for my side
This thing I do that's changing my life
Everything it seems to go right
Never had nothing man I would cry
Oh I mean, can't you see
That I need, to feed family urgently
Time for me, throw some keys
Make some g's
And now I ball till the cops come
Ngena e'kasi lam, A.U for izinja zam'
Le banyana ba re etla kwan'
She tryna duck I bombaclot man

[Pre-Chorus]
The wanna know now where I live
What I sip and where I been
How it goes down, I wasn't shit
Now everybody wanna take pics
I'm sorry, yeah
See, the Lord had different plans for me yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Nawe bambelela (Hold on)
Nawe bambelela (Hold on)
Nawe bambelela (Hold on)
Nawe bambelela (Bambelela)
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
They don't treat me the same no more
I don't ask but they open door
I don't care what they say no more
I'm getting paid, it's a blessing for sure
My family pray for me, I hope yours do too
Noba kubanda, noba kushushu
Imithandazo yam', ingivikele zitheni I see no Voodoo
They said they winnin', I don't believe it
He be like juju
Papa God He there for my side
All these fans they changing my life
It's coming together man I won't lie
Poverty I'm saying bye bye
Oh I see they chose me
Meant to be, can't you see?
Now I'm free
Blowing trees over seas, double G's and Supreme
You probably thinking I'ma asshole
But you wasn't with me struggling hustling in the trap though
Tell me what you mad for?
I'm getting paid young nigga
What you think I rap for?

[Pre-Chorus]
The wanna know now where I live
What I sip and where I been
How it goes down, I wasn't shit
Now everybody wanna take pics
I'm sorry, yeah
See, the Lord had different plans for me yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Nawe bambelela (Bambelela)
Nawe bambelela (Hold on)
Nawe bambelela (Bambelela)
Nawe bambelela (Bambelela)
Oh yeah
