Amandla (feat. Mphathi Mrubata & Basetsana)

I'm out of these words, the words that I wrote The words that I quote The words that I told Too many is told Too many get tolled My feelings are old My feelings are bold My feelings on hold My feelings on hold My feelings on hold, my feelings on hold (kwa phela amandla) Kwa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Kwa phela amandla Listen to me Where should I start? This pain is numbing my heart I might go insane, I'm falling apart I'm aiming the pain, I'm throwing the dart But I keep on missing, I'm aiming the heart Forget what I said The love that I need is the love that I hate 'Cause I cannot breathe, I'm guessing it's fake Too many reasons for one to relate Do You not see that I do not need loving I don't need cuffing, I don't need weight I don't need luggage, I'm not encouraged All that I need is a couple of spades To bury these feelings on me All of these feelings, these feelings that I cannot take You took my hommie, you took my father, you took my great grandmama away Trust in your word, that's all that they say They keep telling us "keep looking for love" but pain answers "I'm right on my way" The more that I love the more that it stays The more that I hug, the more that I pray I pray all My cousins and I can put all of our family's hatred away Buried these feelings, the pain is now running away It's a marathon, this is no back in the days It's a matter of time until the pain returns And it will keep taxing without a single return Just breathe No sleep In Too deep Too deep No sleep Just breathe I'm out of these words, the words that I wrote The words that I quote The words that I told Too many is told Too many get tolled My feelings are old My feelings are bold My feelings on hold My feelings on hold My feelings on hold (kwa phela amandla) Kwa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Kwa phela amandla As I sit in silence I keep on hearing these words in echo invading my conscience They keep pulling my strings or maybe my heart is a violin Wishing I could show you all the times where love felt timeless So imagine a world where all of the crying wasn't in pain And all of the dying wasn't in vain And all of that love was highly in train God, let it Rain All of the blessings I pray for today I hope that they shutter all of these chains I hope that they cover all my shame I hope my lover remembers my name I hope my lover remembers the day When we couldn't flicker a spark nor a flame Look at the issues I'm trying to aim Look at the issues I'm trying to tame Look at the impact I'm trying to influence you to know this no part of a game Can't you not see It's not one and the same Can't you not see it's not one and the same Buried these feelings, the pain is now running away It's a marathon, this is no back in the days It's a matter of time until the pain returns And it will keep taxing without a single return Just breathe No sleep In Too deep Too deep No sleep Just breathe I'm out of these words, the words that I wrote The words that I quote The words that I told Too many is told Too many get tolled My feelings are old My feelings are bold My feelings on hold My feelings on hold My feelings on hold (kwa phela amandla) Kwa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Wa phela amandla Kwa phela amandla
