Dlala Ka Yona (feat. Focalistic, Ricky Lenyora, Uncool MC & Mellow & Sleazy) Lyrics Translation – Rough Dance Soundtrack
Lebogang Matabane writes that the line ‘Play with that one thigh’ commands dancers to move. Focalistic sings about stepping in with the plug and shutting down the vibe with smooth and sharp moves. The lyric also mentions closing something nice and opening something sharp to create tension.
