TOYA DELAZY


Latoya Buthelezi (known as Toya Delazy) is from Durban! Our very own extremely talented South African :D She describes herself as "crazy in that buck sort of way" on her website and states that "No one tells me what I cannot do" - love her crazy and optimistic outlook on life!

Her advice: believe in yourself and no matter who or what happens, trust yourself because if you don’t it’s a windy world out here…talking about windy, the video for Pump It On has blown through like a tornado. I was lucky to work with a director that understood the concept I had for Pump It On and allowed me to add my ideas. Indeed it has been incredible. Bottom line: what has happened only happened because I let my light shine and stopped shrinking. I have also enjoyed responding to the many press interviews and questions of late - some of which make claims that I’m crazy (true story) and are hoping for me not to be in a straight-jacket by the time the album launches since one has to have “crazy talent” (apparently!) to do what I do. I actually felt quite flattered, crazy ol’ thang me!  

Aaaah I just love Toya - damn. This is one of my favourite songs and by Toya in fact. Absolutely incredible lyrics!!





Pump It on 
Ten toes walked me through some heavy blows I roam, the more I know the
More I grow cause life is beautiful I don't regret this road I've lived to
Know one life, one love, one flow you just gotta know... 

You know this life can crush your goals you gotta know you're not alone
It's in your mind you jail your soul fly free and live life

Chorus:
With my head held high I'll buck alone if it breaks my body or breaks my
Bone why live to die when you can live to soar although, some of them will
Love you and some of them wont high and low we all one we're marching on, 
We're striving on so come on everybody pump it on! 

Pump it on pump it on hey pump it on x 4

I've lived to know that life is just one show as the clouds flow, pumping
High phenomenal be original, don't make it dismal it's just one show, one
Shot one time one blow! You just gotta know

You know this life can crush your goals you gotta know you're not alone
It's in your mind you jail your soul fly free and live life
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/toya_delazy/pump_it_on.html ]
Chorus:
With my head held high I'll buck alone if it breaks my body or breaks my
Bone why live to die when you can live to soar although, some of them will
Love you and some of them wont high and low we all one we're marching on, 
We're striving on so come on everybody pump it on! 

Pump it on pump it on hey pump it on x 4

I'm sick of hypocrisies tearing down our families economies and policies
Sh*t hiding behind democracies authorities dressed to please sapping our
Necessities spreading death & disease sent by god, f^% it cause if god is
Water I'm a beach and if he is air I'm the gentle breeze and if he is love
Love love I'm the little beat pumping in your sleeve

You know this life can crush your goals you gotta know you're not alone
It's in your mind you jail your soul fly free and live life

Chorus
With my head held high I'll buck alone if it breaks my body or breaks my
Bone why live to die when you can live to soar although, some of them will
Love you and some of them wont high and low we all one we're marching on, 
We're striving on so come on everybody pump it on! 

Pump it on pump it on hey pump it on x 4
