Uyaphapha Marn (feat. Scotts Maphuma & Kabelo Sings) Meaning & Lyrics (Dj Maphorisa | Tnk Musiq)
Kabelo Sings directly addresses disruptive behavior: ‘You came to the party without money / Better stay home.’ Scotts Maphuma observes empty boasts with ‘This kid is full of stories / They just cause embarrassment.’ Both lines expose economic posturing in nightlife.
