"BAXOLELE is not a rap song. It's more like a futuristic version of 90's JHB Kwaito, where the vocalists bust potent phrases and loop them hypnotically (like a kind of ghetto chant) over a hot beat.
For me on a personal level, this song is about forgiving people who have wronged you, so you can carry on living your life without being attached to other people's bullshit.
It's also about letting go of things that are beyond your control and letting the Universe take over. 'The Universe' as in, your Supreme Super Saiyan Self"

BAXOLELE Lyrics
GQWA:
Bawo baxolele
Abakwaz’abakwenzayo
(repeated)
Abany’abambonanga
Ebedlula ngendlela
Esenz’imiqondiso
Yhi nkonzo yomnqophiso
(repeated)
NINJA:
Bawo baxolele
Abakwaz’abakwenzayo
Namhlanje ndobe ndinawe
eParadesi ka Bawo
Nkosi yam, Nkosi yam
Undishiya ngani na
Eish, Ndinxaniwe
Hay’bo Kugqityiwe
Ndoyekelela
Ezandleni zakho
Ke Nkosi yam Nkosi yam
Oh Nkosi yam Nkosi yam
Ndoyekelela
Ezandleni zakho
Ke Nkosi yam Nkosi yam
Oh Nkosi yam Nkosi yam
❤️🙏🏿❤️
BAXOLELE
Lyrics translated from isiXhosa
GQWA:
Lord forgive them
For they know not what they do
They did not see him passing by
Performing miracles
(Repeated)
NINJA:
Lord forgive them
For they know not what they do
Today I will join you in paradise
Oh Lord why have you forsaken me?
I am thirsty, it is finished
I leave it all in your capable hands my Lord
✨🙏🏼✨
