[Intro]

2198, yeah!

Big city shit, yeah that's the city shit

Aye, aye, aye

Big city lights, so bright

People here hustle day and night

We don't live no lie, we all grind

Jozi, Jozi you raised me right (Yeah you did, put that on everything)

[Verse 1]

Grew up in the city then I blew up in the city

Used to sell my lil' sticky, life was a lil' bit tricky

I was working, I was busy

They would purchase, I would get it

What you doing, boy I did it

Since a youngin' had the spirit

I miss them days (Days)

A lot of shit changed (Changed)

Life is not the same (Same)

Old friends act strange (Strange)

[Pre-Chorus]

And you heard the stories, you heard the stories

You can't play a Joburg nigga like that, no

You can't clown me like that, nah

You heard the stories, you heard the stories

You can't play a Joburg nigga like that, nah

You can't play me like that, hell no

[Chorus]

Big city lights, so bright

People here hustle day and night

We don't live no lie, we all grind

As'phele umoya, s'pusha till we get it right yeah

Jozi, Jozi you showed me life (Yeah you did, put that on everything)

Jozi, Jozi you raised me right (Yeah you did, put that on everything)

I'm not cappin' when I say I ain't got no time

East side yeah, we grind here

Put in the work three times yeah
