[Verse 1]

So many people have changed on me

Less love but the hate on fleek

I ain't never been a fake homie

They putting a lot of weight on me

But that's nothing, I'm that youngin

Gangsters love me and I got the trap jumping

Pull up at the VIP, dabbing with the kids

Give em a little hope yeah now that's something

I been through the worst

The pain and the stress and the hurt

Told myself this ain't what I deserve

Had to make sure a youngin was hurt

Through the hunger the drought and the thirst

I was close to laying in a hurse

It's funny how I got saved by these verses

Show respect my name written incursive, I prayed in them churches

Yeah Mama was there for me, yeah

Some homies didn’t care for me

But dad helped me choose friends carefully

And, I was never treated specially

So, ngavuka ngaphanda

[Verse 2]

Regular niggas be hating on me

They congratulate low key

Acting like they know me

Like we back in the day homie

I'm living my dream, hope Manando can see me

I wish lefatsi was easy

They ask for money, they saw me on TV

When all I wanna do is give to the needy

I never had nothing, how can I be greedy?

I'm working hard, I don't want a freebie

Ngphuz'iLean ngamacup'amabini
