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

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
