- “I can’t wait till I feel nothing for you.”
- “Ngeke ngizwe ngawe”
- “You’re not my father”
- “Hoes gon’ be hoes so I couldn’t blame Tammy”
- “Men are Trash”
5 phrases (many variations missing out) we use to divert from how we’re feeling. I’m no exception. I’ve always been “cool” about love. Yes, Hip Hop influence. Dodging vulnerability and cutting a girl off as soon as you feel dizzy energy.
Flip side. Girls take a different approach.
(Well used to. Its wild now. We all move the same way these days. Which is fair. Zikhalela wonke umuntu manje)
“I can’t wait till I feel nothing for you.”
Girls have this love policy of sticking around till the love bundles have been depleted. In short. Each undesirable action leads to the break up. A less cool approach. But it still steers away from vulnerability and effective communication.
I don’t want to dwell on the other 4 terms. That would be a love column discourse. What I will say is that Zolani G avoided the discourse.
Zolani G ft. Peanut – Angikho Right
The joint is melodic, Peanut kicks it off with a loop that gives us a soulful feel. Followed by the rap. The hook again. So on, so forth.
“When I think about you, I be thinking about us. I be thinking like, should we ever give up on trust?
“I be thinking like, how could I pay your love? You be thinking like everything I claim is hers.”
A small passage that speaks about how different we’re wired. I’ve always felt like God gave us this puzzle to figure each other out. We’re relatively the same but sometimes just so different.
“Listen, I know I’m gifted, you came as a curse”
Without a respectful and unfiltered communication channel? You will find it difficult to reap the benefits of solving this puzzle. You must be selfless in the relationship. I’m not talking about e-Wallets. But give of your time and bend towards your partners expectations. Not break. But bend, negotiate naturally. Out of love. Out of respect, consideration and all the adjectives you can think about.
“Man, I still gotta run cause, you are not a man, you as boy as they come. But I hope you grow for the sake of your son though.”
There’s growth in unpacking your puzzle and figuring it out. From your dreams (sub conscious) assisting you. To having a spiritual journey in assessing what you need to do.
Self-introspection. We’re nothing without it. The more I type this out, the more I realize how I’m robbing the reader/listener of deciphering this piece themselves. Take your time and listen. Don’t run Modise. It’s well thought out. I keep coming with different angles to review it. A sure indication a lot went into this. Its love only this side. All the best on your journey as a father, an artist and a man figuring out his puzzle. Ube right.
