Ke Lapile (Amapiano Blues)

Drop

Pay the man

Got to pay the man

Verse 1

Counting pennies while the winter wind whistles

Dust on the dashboard

The landlord looms large like a mountain shadow

Hungry pockets ache

Empty belly cries out

Pre-Chorus

Ke lapile ke tlala

Ke kopa thuso

I see the notice on the frame

I feel the fire in the shame

Chorus

Rent is due

Lord rent is due

Rent is due

Lord rent is due

Pula e na

The rain is coming

Rent is due

Drop

Rent is due

Lord rent is due

Verse 2

Stretching Rands into miles of dry road

Work is hard to find

Boss is screaming bout the overtime clocks

Dreams are fading fast

Night is getting cold

Pre-Chorus

Ke lapile ke tlala

Ke kopa thuso

I see the notice on the frame

I feel the fire in the shame

Chorus

Rent is due

Lord rent is due

Rent is due

Lord rent is due

Pula e na

The rain is coming

Rent is due

Drop

Pay the man

Got to pay the man

Rent is due

Lord rent is due
