[Intro]

Man growing up in post-apartheid South Africa was no joke

We went from combating racism to combating gangsterism

And as a young impressionable man I had to do what I had to do

To get by, now I was never about the street life I'll put that on the record, but shit I had to what I had to do, some things I regret

Well shit you would have done it too


[Verse 1]

1 2 0 6 shit, that's gang gang gang shit

Snatch your girl like Boko Boko

In the island of Morocoroco

Real thugs in my section, I just did it for protection

Never one for the weapons , rather 1 on 1 like 11

All started when I got robbed, felt I needed back up

I was never bout the thug game

Didn't wanna have to tuck chains

Even then I had ambitions, OGs saw the vision

Back then I wouldn't listen, so they kept me at a distance

Heavily affiliated still, already popping without a deal

Guilty by association taking a dub on appeal

Look how I master the sentence

Welkom life so tense

Either gang bang, know a gang gang or it's robbing your innocence


[Tjovitjo]

1 2 0 6 shit 1 2 0 6 shit

Young Welkom kid king on 1 2 0 6 shit

1 2 0 6 shit 1 2 0 6 shit

Young Welkom kid king on 1 2 0 6 shit


[Verse 2]

Back then was crazy, gang life just ain't me

So Thank God Thank God, I found R-A-P

I don't do it for the phantom, I just do it for the fans dem

And I do it for Welkom, Welkom, Welkom

Back in the day, mama would pray, everyday

Hoping that she, never would have to go shop for a bouquet

I got it made, I got it made

Some of my homies still caught in the struggle I do it for dey

I got it made, I got it made

Shout Hameen, Da Livo, Madenna and Kaymo da man

La Familia -a, La Familia switch up, switch up

I never fold under pressure

Getting more OWS NOW

Had to trade all the gang signs

All I sign is the cheques now

All I'm riding is the jets now

Gucci Sweats be the texture

Me and success are synonymous

Never forget that I started with


[Tjovitjo]

1 2 0 6 shit 1 2 0 6 shit

Young Welkom kid king on 1 2 0 6 shit

1 2 0 6 shit 1 2 0 6 shit

Young Welkom kid king on 1 2 0 6 shit
