For Jabba ft. HHP & Mic Lyrics

Oh yelele

Oh yelele

Taludzanga. Mfumu itula

Titondeka kukulupilila

Titondeka kukulupililia

Chitondeka eh

Chitondeka

I never got to do a song with Flabba, or with Jabba

And I swear that got me pissed like a bladder

But I met you, so I'm glad bruh

And I'm grateful for the great time I had bruh

These niggaz hated me, they underated me

Thought I was one of the best undebatably

F how they painted me is what you would say to me

There was a throne at the top that was made for me

But now you're gone fam and me and Zone fam

Are trying to find the strength to keep it going on fam

Thought you were strong, fam. You held your own, fam

We couldn't see that you were hurting all along fam

And now it's too late, you're at the Pearly Gates

I heard on Twitter their tryna give you an early wake

I heard on Twitter people taking time to meditate

I heard a couple people saying they'll never medicate

So if you must know

You're gonna be okay

But if you must go

Your sons gonna be okay

I'll carry your torch from here on

Thank you for making me part of your run

I'll carry your torch from here on

Thank you for making me part of your run

For Jabba

Yeah. For Jabba. You should've listened

You know what I love about Afrobeat is umm… it's a step up for African music. For a long Time the world has an idea of African music. When they think Africa they think folk Music, they think old school music. The Salif Keitas, the Yusundors, the Angelique Kidjos, the Lady Smith Blackmambazos, the Hugh Masekelas. They don't know that There is actually a young urban market that's growing out of Africa. Unfortunately, yes we Were all colonised by Hip Hop, you know. But that very thing is what brought us together I mean I know it's slightly exaggerated but in Nigeria it was kind of taboo to be an Igbo Dating a Yoruba woman. Intercultural relation was not cool. But now because of Hip Hop Because we all love Drake, we all love Jay Z we all relate. Now I can hook up with you Whatever! You know what I'm saying? I can even speak to… ummm… there's always Been that sticky issue between Zimbabweans and South Africans but because of the Music that we do I… my drummer is a Zimbabwean, you know. I am all about PanAfricanism, you know. And politics, unfortunately, will do nothing with breaking down Those borders. Those borders are there for a reason that's beyond us but what we can Do is try bridge ourselves with the music, man. And that's exactly what we're all about…
