Intro
Mr. Lif feat. Akrobatik and Brotha PC Lyrics

The lyrics to "Intro" by Mr. Lif feat. Akrobatik and Brotha PC begin with chanting in Shangaan - "He Mpanyasi, Ni ngo mina, Hi matimba ya mina." The phrase translates to "Oh Mpanyasi, it is I, with my strength." This is a nod to the traditional practice of calling upon ancestors and spirits for strength and protection. The verse then continues to talk about originality, with the line "Se na yi humesa original song" meaning "I'm here to bring an original song." The following lines speak about using music to uplift and empower - "Ma tirhisa mayimbelelo ya mina" means "I use my lyrics to inspire people."

The verse also includes references to the creative process and the role of technology. "Ma yiva ti beat ta mina" means "I hear my beat," indicating the importance of the instrumental in the creation of the song. "A thepa swilo swa mina le studio" means "I create my ideas in the studio." Two lines are in Tsonga - "Leyi ku nga nghena makhamba hi December, Mafamba henhla ka nghoma ya mina" - which can be roughly translated to "This December, the rhythm of my song will be heard loud and clear." The verse ends with a reference to the struggle and perseverance required in the music industry - "Hi malama madlokonya" means "through difficult times."
