Tuks – Bona Fela Lyrics
Lyrics to Bona Fela by Tuks Senganga
[ooooooooh “Yeah”…. Well listen to them]
Ne ba lepile monopoly ne le ya bofelo
Metlotlo ya ha go jewa mogoga ditshebo
Like who’s gonn take over
Dieman a kase survive
The change over
But I proved them all wrong
As I soldiered on
Some wrote songs
I kept quiet
And told my team hold on
Le mo lefifing ke tshepa mo di-rhyme-ng
And follow where the sound leads
And I can d without your favourite beatmaker
Dipina tsame ke di kwala to my heartbeat
Dintwana tse nnyane kasi ba fepilwe ma-bare-bare
Ba mpetsa samane mare
Ke defeat-a puo ka go rwala motwako le kgetleng lame
Ey, ke le tabogile, kodu yame e matarela track like lap tsame di
Tshasitswe ka mamepe
Now before o ntshwaya diphoso ke kopa o ithole right, ithole reg
Bona fela ba batla go mphetola dimo
Bona fela bangwe bare ke rata dilo
Bona fela ba ngadile ke ja ka mmino
Bona fela, mathata a bodula- setilo
Bona fela ba batla go mphetola dimo
Bona fela bangwe bare ke rata dilo
Bona fela ba ngadile ke ja ka mmino
Bona fela, mathata a bodula- setilo
Ke fepa sechaba jang santse ke santse ke gogoba?
Nka nna nkalakatha jang kese gogoba?
Many think re tsene, many think re namile maoto
But, santse re kokota
Sam’sokolo, Gauteng go a nela
Santse re koloba
Nnnete ke gore many a man look the part
Many a man shaela top
So sad, santse ba kolota
Line ya success, Ke gone ke e folang
Many O’s in a cheque, ke gone ke di bonang
Like Queen Bee buzzing
I’m building a colony ya mamepe fela
“Year after Year”
By any means necessary
Do thola tse do molemo mo bophelo except for selling your soul
Ga le ntlhaloganye, I keep rapping in codes
Way ahead of my time I keep lapping my foes
Bona fela ba batla go mphetola dimo
Bona fela bangwe bare ke rata dilo
Bona fela ba ngadile ke ja ka mmino
Bona fela, mathata a bodula- setilo
Bona fela ba batla go mphetola dimo
Bona fela bangwe bare ke rata dilo
Bona fela ba ngadile ke ja ka mmino
Bona fela, mathata a bodula- setilo
They keep telling Tuks, “Gare re one mo TV”
But ke losole my niggas motswako made me see
I rescue replucans no ID
Ke ba kopanye dithlogo gape no sign me’s
Even my team ba tlogele go gogana ka matsogo
Masemo a setlhafala ka nako ya thobo
So bula matlho, o bone o tsamaya kae
Ska off ramp’ aka bo oxford o tla ja go jelwe
Bona fela ba batla go mphetola dimo
Bona fela bangwe bare ke rata dilo
Bona fela ba ngadile ke ja ka mmino
Bona fela, mathata a bodula- setilo
Bona fela ba batla go mphetola dimo
Bona fela bangwe bare ke rata dilo
Bona fela ba ngadile ke ja ka mmino
Bona fela, mathata a bodula- setilo
Bona Fela x3
Bona Fela x3
Bona Fela,
