Honeymoon Phase (feat. Vee Martin)[Prod. TriggaNasty]

I decided to write to really "move on"
R.I.P, bro.. you're missed.
*Sigh

Lyrics:

[Chrous]
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
Listen
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
(Listen)

[Verse]
You're the first I dun recorded with
And we made a couple songs and you were like a twin
And man I can't pretend as if I hardly cave
And when I heard the news I gazed above and cried until the sun was dim
I try to keep it lit as much as I enlighten em'
Regardless 
Nobody cares bout' what's important man
Disgusted
That's partially why I can't fuck with dems'
I'm flushin' out the toxic, coffin in my dome
That's my revenge
I'm touched
High school actin' like you're Peter Pan
/Huh
I thought we was s'posed to feed the fam
Leave em bands and then we take off/set,
And pose for cams
But fuck it man, I'll compensate for what we could've been
I hate the drugs, I had to detox so I lend a hand
/To moms and pops, I had to stop hangin' with broken men
How they fake torwards the realist nigga, can't pretend
Me and toxicity hardly mix, we never blend
/I told you, man

[Chrous]
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
Listen
I tried my all just to save you
I couldn't take you back/
After all that I gave you
You still betrayed me/
Fam' can't hold no grudges, I'm faithful to me
Myself, I practiced peace as I fell upon what I needed
(Listen)

[Outro]
(*Repents and weeps)
...
"I haven't completely healed from.."
("But I wish I forgave you sooner")
"I don't know man..
I'm really tryna speak but then the music is the only way I can actually communicate my feelings but..
Rest In Peace, bro"

A story about a young boy growing up liking things. 

Thand’izinto Pt 1 (Prod. InsertCoinz)

Verse 1
uMthibha undibambe on a Faras
Pholas, yi fish braai SELI fish eagle kwaa Felas,
Alright Oros, uThand’izinto 
Zonke izinto njayempilo
Funa life abeyi mpolo,
Cinga igroove yayizolo,
Nko on the decks 
Mthibha ungenau next 
Oros uphushi black 
Hleli eback,
Before I had Mac,
Before I could Mac,
Medi zazi’fela
Nxibe icarvela
Hleli kwa Fela
BOSS iqula, 
Andikwazi noGQula,
Back then saskeeme no Thula,
Remember uDula,
Fatsi, phantsi
Ostrich farm 
Eish sani,
Sometimes I act like a moemish 
But I ain’t never been one,
that’s I act foolish
Speaking of ifoolish  
I wanna smoke one 
Chill back while you listen to the hook Sani…

Welcome to my funkshey 
Orosi igama and ndibusy ndiyaphanda 
Ndenza ama adaa
Bonke baya gcwala 
Nanga namapara 
Khangela izakka 
Imali ndiyayikhanda 
Mpilo ndiyayithanda
Izinto zilala 
Nanku no lala
Busy sisThalala
Medi iyanditoucha 
Ithi ifuna ulala 
Mna ndisa groova 
Ishot isa thungwa 
Kumnandi kule Bhunga
Ntwana awuno lunga 
uMaybra ufuna uvusa 
Icase lizovuka 
Imedi ziya nyusa
uThato ufuna ingquza
Medi zifuna ugcuza
Medi zizo chooza 
Ntwana asini luza 
Got a call from uQuza
Uthi siyay’ susa 
Iskeem siyapusha
Apeshit iyajuluka 
Senz’ikaka njengo Tsutsa 
Shukumisa uMzantsi 
Simanzi nje ngomphantsi 
Soze banga gcwali 
Skarrela le mali 
Bayakhala, bayakhala

Ntwana nanga Amanzi 
Sela nanga Amanzi..

The Following are some of the highlights of their time together;
•	iRocke Digital Festival/SkyroomLive presents Yasiin Bey (Opening Act)
•	Live at The Market

This eclectic, #TellYourTruth movement is not just a band.They are creative freedom fighters on a mission to make the 

The message is Music. From its origins, through its nature to its 
essence. This is a collective of life-lovers who come together to 
do what they feel they were called to do. In each of us lives the 
desire to brighten our own little corner through music.

Every musical gathering is a bid to keep our inner child alive, so 
our primary mission is to have fun with the Music. However, 
whilst letting go in this way, we still seek to spark the flame that 
burns fiercely; fusing Life's lessons with our own dreams of a 
brighter future. For us Music represents life, nourishment, wealth 
and opportunity.

Our tribe hails from all around the Southern tip of Africa... but it also represents Johannesburg; the city of dreams and lights we have come to call home away from home.


This collective serves the art so that it becomes a movement... 
not just an occupation. We want to entertain you. We want to move you.
