Overall Meaning

In Chef 187's song Betrayal, he starts by reminding his listeners that they are listening to amnesia, which is a condition where one loses or forgets their memory. This line sets the tone for the theme of the song which is betrayal. Chef 187 then poses a hypothetical scenario asking his listeners to imagine if Judas had kissed Jesus when he went to betray Him in the bible. He then goes on to ask whether the people who sell out their friends and family members for personal gain could possibly be forgiven, using the phrase "bushe abachensela ebanesu limbi tebo" which roughly translates to "can a traitor be forgiven?"


The rest of the song sees Chef 187 reflecting on the pain of being betrayed by someone he trusted, with lines like "ndai sosha neka" meaning "I'm hurt by what you did to me." He talks about the feeling of being used and suggests that those who betray others will eventually face the consequences of their actions. The song is a powerful message to those who have been betrayed and serves as a warning to those who might be tempted to sell out their friends or family members in the future.
