Somewhere In Between - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I've got pain and trauma, the new edition

The kind that nobody knew existed

The kind that could've been stopped if they would've listened

I've got to make enough cash for two musicians

Just so my team can feed their families

The same ones who told them they're too ambitious

This right here is the new depression, the 2022 version

Fallin' in love with someone and findin' out you're one of two persons

Maybe I knеw that before but dammit, daai deng ing'shayе nga sick-a

You say "Thabo, I'll never hurt you"

Then you go and hurt me next week

Now I got a new defence mechanism

I love you but you say I'd never listen

Even when you in the bed, huggin' kissin'

Even when you're in your head reminiscin'

Nami bengithi ngizothola somethin'

Ngena too deep, it was all or nothin'

You don't know how broken, someone is until you try to love them

[Chorus]

Got so many pains, I don't want you to see

I don't want you to know, what's goin' on with me

I'm way too [?], you get really deep

Loving you and hating you, I'm somewhere in between

Got so many pains, I don't want you to see

I don't want you to know, what's goin' on with me

I'm way too [?], you get really deep

Lovin' you and hatin' you, I'm somewhere in between

[Post-Chorus]

Somewhere in between

Loving you and hating you, I'm somewhere in between

[Verse 2]

After this, there better be, a better me

Put up an act so they can accept me, uThabo ngim'shiy' endlini

[?] timer, umntwana wasekhaya uyacava babheke mina

After I've taken care of everybody then I'll take care of me

She wants to take things slowly

I'm gone after 24 hours, I must be an Insta story

Was never on her wishlist but her interest is growin'

It must be her friends telling her that this kid is blowin'

But she needs to stay close to me in case I become somethin'

When I post myself in the whip or a plane they come runnin'

Like "Hey, stranger"

I guess I fill that void they have, I guess they fill that void I have

You think it's attention seekin', trust me it's way more than that

Absent fathers, absent mothers

Rape, assault, case gets covered

Young girl tries but can't recover

Has to fake her smile at supper

Siblings don't embrace each other

Couples only break each other

With all this hate that's going on, baby girl, can we just be lovers?

[Chorus]

Got so many pains, I don't want you to see

I don't want you to know, what's goin' on with me

I'm way too [?], you get really deep

Loving you and hating you, I'm somewhere in between

Got so many pains, I don't want you to see

I don't want you to know, what's goin' on with me

I'm way too [?], you get really deep

Lovin' you and hatin' you, I'm somewhere in between

[Post-Chorus]

Somewhere in between

Loving you and hating you, I'm somewhere in between
