K.R.Y.T.I.C. - For Jabba (feat. HHP & Mic)

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…
