Nah this mastering is class🔥🔥😭😭😭

“Insane is a song about how an individual tackles and 
manoeuvres through today’s social scape and realises that he has inner trauma he must confront, capsulated within a symphony of thoughts and harmonies”, said song writer and producer NALMie.



Enjoy!!

Insane.

& once the rage has been realised, there’s a subsequent juxtaposition between loving for yourself and loving from a premise of being loved… 

a love from within and a reactionary love…

and on “KEAMO’s INTERLUDE” — girlthewoman renders a soliloquy, a conversation between time, love & sanity before an admission of love, is made…

(here are the lyrics)


I did backflips in the third grade . That affected my confidence in the best way . If i could bag this girl from ethiopia , play her franks version of steves version of close to ya . Rotten eggs getting thrown at ya , get off the fucking podium . Aint no such thing as first place in a rat race . The first breath is what its like to get paid . After 30 days of dishing out 'lemme explains' . How she supposed to love ya, minimum wage ? Shes supposed to love me, when did that change ? These are tough things . And her friends just keep interrupting . Niggas with everything she wants whisper sweet nothings . Faith keeps disrupting . As i walk away . The last stretch right before the sub . Hoes be lyn right before the cub . Like the kid is ours knowing you aint the only one . Stuck with the shit while the father uzzi vert shoulder rubs . With woman who want the same thing we know wassup . Sloane ,not this again . A heart of gold to a blind woman shines different . I wouldve lied still in it . Im welding im fixing it . Polished it thinking this old thing ? Remind me to stop questioning value . A coat of rust removed whats unravelled , the travel channel . The golden handle . My face a saddle . And the taps on my face forget to sea .. while im driving at high speeds , mama praying it dont repeat and thats why im still alive . Dont worry about me im rambling guys . My hand is vase bouqe of marlboro reds thinking this cancer is nice . Till its really cancer and my kids got no dad in their lives . My lungs damaged inside . My chest is a mic . I aint never seen an organ fighting and writting or jumping that high . Urge to survive . Finally make it to the top and he cant breathe . Saturday nights in melville with my sunday candy . She gave me a chance  and look im still standing . She cant even stand like we gone both plan b and lots of prayer . From now you can call me smooth operator . The boss of stay up . The wall breaker . The ruiner of make up . We fight and we make up . The roles that we take up .  The heartbreak escaper . Or umuntu kaMu, ishu ! Or you could just call me tim . The invisible man . Or invincible .. depends on how you see me .

Lyrics: 

(Verse)

Ain’t no saving me baby girl I’m a goner 
And you can already tell that I want her
I can’t resist when you look into my eyes and I’m taking a chance, baby I’m rolling the dice 
I’m tryna see what is on the other side 
What do I get if I choose to compromise?
I’ve been in the middle tryna make my mind up 
It’s not a doubt that baby girl you’re the finest

If you’re tryna paint a picture paint it right cause when you’re tryna paint a picture gotta make your mind up 
Gotta make your mind up, find a rider
Gotta make your mind up, find the right one

(Hook) 

She just went from a dream to a problem
You can tell by the way I’ve been making comments
You know I want you, you just put me in a predicament
And you waste no time you wanna get intimate

(Verse II)

And you asked me what your role is
And I couldn’t even lie, exactly what you know is exactly what it is
Why you acting dumb when you know all of my biz? 
Now I’m swimming with the sharks cause I’m a big fish
And you treat me like your man when you tell me all these things
You never pick a call when you’re on the phone with me
Got me feeling like I’m winning and now I cannot sleep

I’ve been fighting with these demons and you make it really easy 
Cause now at least I’m winning I can feel that you are with me
I don’t know if you are serious, I don’t know if you gon’ keep me
But you’ve been playing part, I can see you really feel me

(Hook)

She just went from a dream to a problem
You can tell by the way I’ve been making comments
You know I want you, you just put me in a predicament
And you waste no time you wanna get intimate

More Problems(Prod. Remdolla)

the making of ilanga lase'busuku turned out to be one of my most cherished sessions i had with takatso. well before i tell the story filled with smiles and happiness, one question: the naming of a song should be the easiest part in making music right? nope... not with this one. actually... nothing is ever easy with takatso but anyway. i originally made the beat with a straight forward concept in mind, a weird concept when i now think about it but when i was making the beat, it kinda made sense. you probably wondering, what the hack?? but i specifically made the beat for a person who has to catch a taxi to work, school or home. and am not talking about any other taxi, am talking about a white isiyaya driven by umzulu phaqa with a short temper when you miscounted his money. i made it for the ones who give a 110% in everything they do. whether a 9 to 5, university or college, the chasing your dreams grind or the i have to hustle for my family person, i made it with them in mind. i titled the untitled beat "feel good today" with the intention of listeners could bump to it in the morning and whether they predicting a shity day today, i hoped they would play this jem in the morning and feel good for the rest of the day. takatso and i meet way back in high school, i actually liked his freestyles in rap battles we had but that's just a story another day, and when he pulled through to the studio, i played him the beat and he immediately started pulling up hooks and flows from different verses he wrote on his notepad and we started "knitting" different lyrics together. luna: that's was the name i came up with after recording the song. takatso thought i was making reference on what he said on the chorus said "don't worry babe the moon will take me home" nope. luna was actually the name i gave my dog which passed on around that time. she was two months old before she passed on. sad but takatso and sifiso thought i shouldn't take my sob story and make it the center story of this "beautiful" song. it was actually hard for me to change the title cause i wanted something that could remind me of her. ilanga lase'busuku: this title has so many versions of the same story so if i would tell you my version of it, some would be lies in takatso's eyes. but to some it all up, i couldn't illustrate the vibes that occurred on those sessions with the boy. can't forget sifiso with the hums.
