What
Ra
Gathered in the throes of addiction
You couldnβt tell us nothing
We didnβt care for nothing
Because weβre getting high
Spending all this cash
Spending rent money
Thinking that weβre fresh
That we know honey
Then my boy Sizwe kicks the bucket
Next thing Lungi kicks the bucket oh
Then itβs me, D and, Khanyi wondering
Whoβd be next for the final destination
But wait a minute, wait a minute
We can turn this around
Coz our destinyβs in our very own hands
So bring it on
Final Destination
Final Destination
Calling, calling, calling, (calling, calling, calling)
Said itβs calling, calling, calling yeah
(calling, calling, calling)
Final Destination
Final Destination
Calling, calling, calling (calling, calling, calling)
Said itβs calling, calling, calling yeah
(calling, calling, calling)
Death or jail, tsela ya quick luci
Money still remains the same
Seems like retsikinyega when we deep in pain
How many should we bury yo, Yo my man Shot slain
Fa ke sa fetole my ways, was his death in vain
Several stab wounds can never be mistake
Murderous mind state monate while we chasinβ the fame
Makinβ street corner moves while snortinβ cocaine
Thereβs gotta be better moves, than those encouraged by booze
Donβt get me wrong, Iβm lovinβ this drink Iβm sippinβ
Anβ probably, will smoke till my head be spinninβ
Iβd rather be, sober anβ paid than high anβ broke
Overdossinβ on tick some cheap ass dope
Africa called the dark continent emancipated
But still not uhuru, still livinβ in a makeshift mukhukhu
Still, dependinβ on chibukhu to numb reality
Is a reality for many
No infrastructure, seen as backward cultures,
Poor health, no wealth while khumo ya rona
Is locked up in overseas vaults
Stolen precious stones sold in overseas malls
Oh bring it on
(Calling, calling, calling)
I said bring it on
(Calling, calling, calling)
(Final Final)
Final Destination
(said itβs the final destination calling me)
Final Destination (oh and itβs calling)
Calling, calling, calling (said itβs calling me)
Said itβs calling me yeah (calling, calling, calling)
Said I can feel the Final Destination
Final Destination (mh itβs the final destination)
Final Destination (mh I can feel it coming on)
Calling, calling, calling
Said itβs calling, I know itβs calling, I can feel it calling
Call oh
Because our destiny is in our very own hands
(said itβs calling)
So, bring it on
So, bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on (come on, come on)
So, bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on (bring it on)
Bring it on (bring it on)

The lyrics to F.E.D's song "Destination" are a reflection on the destructive consequences of addiction and the realization that one's choices ultimately determine their fate. The song begins by acknowledging the group's immersion in addiction and the disregard for anything else. They spend their money on drugs, believing it makes them feel fresh and in control. However, their self-destructive behavior takes a toll when some of their friends, Sizwe and Lungi, pass away, leaving them wondering who will be next. Despite this despair, the song takes a turn when the realization sets in that they have the power to change their destiny. They can turn their lives around and take control of their own future. The chorus emphasizes the urgency of this revelation, as they hear the call of their final destination and make the decision to bring on the change.
Overall, the lyrics of "Destination" convey a sense of desperation and the consequences of addiction, while also highlighting the power of personal agency in shaping one's destiny. The song serves as a wake-up call to break free from destructive patterns and embrace a better future.
Line by Line Meaning
Gathered in the throes of addiction
Being trapped and consumed by addiction
Caught up in a cloud of affliction
Living in a state of suffering and distress
You couldnβt tell us nothing
Being resistant to advice or guidance
We didnβt care for nothing
Having a lack of concern for anything
Because weβre getting high
Engaging in substance abuse
Spending all this cash
Using money recklessly
Spending rent money
Using money meant for rent on other things
Thinking that weβre fresh
Believing we are cool or fashionable
That we know honey
Thinking we have it all figured out
Then my boy Sizwe kicks the bucket
Then Sizwe dies
Next thing Lungi kicks the bucket oh
Then Lungi dies
Then itβs me, D and, Khanyi wondering
Then it's me, D, and Khanyi left questioning
Whoβd be next for the final destination
Who will be the next one to die
But wait a minute, wait a minute
However, let's pause for a moment
We can turn this around
We have the power to change our situation
Coz our destinyβs in our very own hands
Because we have control over our future
So bring it on
Let's face the challenges head-on
Final Destination
The ultimate end or outcome
Calling, calling, calling
The constant reminder of the end approaching
Said itβs calling, calling, calling yeah
Emphasizing the persistent inevitability of the end
Death or jail, tsela ya quick luci
Facing the possibility of death or imprisonment
Money still remains the same
Money continues to hold its value
Seems like retsikinyega when we deep in pain
Pain causes us to lose sight of our priorities
How many should we bury yo, Yo my man Shot slain
How many more deaths should we mourn
Fa ke sa fetole my ways, was his death in vain
If I don't change my ways, was his death pointless
Several stab wounds can never be mistake
The injuries we inflict upon ourselves are undeniable
Murderous mind state monate while we chasinβ the fame
We have a dangerous mindset while pursuing fame
Makinβ street corner moves while snortinβ cocaine
Engaging in risky behavior while using drugs
Thereβs gotta be better moves, than those encouraged by booze
There must be healthier choices than alcohol-fueled actions
Donβt get me wrong, Iβm lovinβ this drink Iβm sippinβ
I enjoy indulging in this alcoholic beverage
Anβ probably, will smoke till my head be spinninβ
I'll likely continue smoking until I feel dizzy
Iβd rather be, sober anβ paid than high anβ broke
I prefer being sober and financially stable over being high and poor
Overdossinβ on tick some cheap ass dope
Taking an excessive amount of low-quality drugs
Africa called the dark continent emancipated
Africa has been labeled as a continent that has freed itself
But still not uhuru, still livinβ in a makeshift mukhukhu
But true freedom has not yet been achieved, still living in temporary shelters
Still, dependinβ on chibukhu to numb reality
Still relying on substances to escape from reality
Is a reality for many
This is the truth for many people
No infrastructure, seen as backward cultures
Lacking proper infrastructure and viewed as primitive civilizations
Poor health, no wealth while khumo ya rona
Suffering from poor health and lack of wealth while our natural resources
Is locked up in overseas vaults
Are being held and controlled by foreign entities
Stolen precious stones sold in overseas malls
Valuable gemstones are stolen and sold in foreign markets
Oh bring it on
Come on, let's face it
Final Destination (said itβs the final destination calling me)
The inevitable end that keeps reminding us
Calling, calling, calling (said itβs calling me)
The constant beckoning of the end
Said itβs calling me yeah (calling, calling, calling)
Expressing the personal connection to the end approaching
I can feel the Final Destination
I have a sense of the approaching end
(mh itβs the final destination)
(Yes, it's the final destination)
I can feel it coming on
I sense its arrival
Said itβs calling, I know itβs calling, I can feel it calling
Acknowledging the persistent reminder of the end
Whatβ you gonna do
What will you do
When the grim ripper has his sights up on you
When death is imminent for you
Whatβ you gonna do (sights up on you)
What will you do when death is approaching
When the grim ripper has his sights up on you (sights up on you)
When death is specifically targeting you
Whatβ you gonna do (sights up on you)
What will you do when death is near
When the grim ripper has his sights up on you (sights up on you)
When death is fixated on you
Whatβ you gonna do
What will you do
Whatβ you gonna do
What will you do
Whatβ you gonna do
What will you do
Whatβ you gonna do
What will you do

Most entertaining people* I know he's only one person so it seems logical to use the singular, but because to are referring to him as "one of the most..." it would be the plural form. English is dumb, I'm sorry.
-one of the most interesting people
-the most interesting person
Would both be correct.

When I was a kid a bird flew against my window three times. The third time I went outside to help him, he sat in my hand and seemed to be OK. I let him fly and seconds later he got eaten by a hawk. Back then I did not know about destination fuxked. I sleep way better now, knowing he is in a save place where nothing can go wrong because everything already went wrong. Such a relief.
