[Verse: Tyson Sybateli]

I'm constantly going hard

The wrong company say "Let's operate something" that's obviously a loss

Stand on business, use CIPC forms and started writing this song

I can't even the odds, I can't believe they ain't eating, they camps leasing they cars

Casually cappin' hard

Fantasy in they songs

'Cause I sign deals I'm actually really on

Fans know lyrics and casually sing along, Thank God

Remember doing shows where nobody even saw

At least I had my homies who would always come along

Then leave with your lady, I'm the one she cuming on

Listen, send me naked pictures when she used to have a Samsung

Call me with the landline but frontin' when her dad comes

Home my best performance in the streets, you'd swear I'm Platinum

Killers in recordings, you ain't have guns

My bitch bad like load shedding times

How it came back at 4 just to go away at 5

I had cops at the door, I was still in grade 9

Retrenchin' court forms, told my mom I.L.Y

Nothin' is stopping me since then

Glad I never got sentenced in the end

Put a couple dots between all your homies, you heard of friends?

And your girl doesn't really know how to dress

Down bad since the time Lisa passed

I just got mad the same day Zipho passed

I was on my last, I got told Khanya passed

Couldn't leave home that semester, I ain't passed

COVID-19, y'all was home with a mask

Essential worker, retail on my ass

Cut my dreads off, dyed my hair for a laugh

All of that with me was tryna shed away my past

Fast forward, ones I called my brother never last

Had to make change like the furniture was bad

Now my new space is four walls and a plan

Never had a roof, there's no limit where I stand

Master P, I don't push it

All we knew from jump was poverty and go through it

Hear it in old music

Social slow music and the dance songs revolution in those movements

Fuck apartheid, no change is more fluent

Systems obvious, I was learnin' Afrikaans, missing the obvious

How I buy a crib, pay taxes or follow up

And how these record labels always end up on top of us?

Sway, I knew you had the answers

Black people gotta feed themselves in the matter

Some get on top, celebrate and break the ladder

Seen folks blow up and disappear the year after

This piano carving me a lane

With no log drum disregarded for the bass

Hip Hop songs or you'll start up with your name

Alkaline waters high tides either way

Water's too deep but the options ain't the same

Love to see black people win every day

I only speak up when you choose to do the same

They said rap's dead but I hardly seen the grave

I got love for *** but clearly it ain't the same

No good comes from looking down on your mates

Calls about working then unfollow my page

We should share Wordz, we already share a stage

Positivity and all my people pouring into me, that is all a nigga needs

Did a couple things, I'm glad the higher ups forgiven me

Converting to *** is a journey that has been in me

I listen to FLVME because the bitches do

She listen to Marcus to get in the mood

I might sample God and make an interlude

I been through the hardest shit to get into

I know that I'm way beyond my physical

I will never tell no one your business

'Cause if we got an issue you can hit me up and fix things

But after many chances I can never show forgiveness

I'm tired of back and forths , you should be tired of playing victim

Not surprised the industry ain't welcoming me with hugs

I'm in every room being myself and where I'm from

Always show my heart but I can't show enough of trust

People always social climbing people they don't love

Opportunity requires discipline and faith

Bending back and bending rules and staying in my lane

Friends ask me how I got accustomed to this fame

I didn't, I just do the job and get paid


[Pre-Chorus: Tron Pyre]

I just do the job and I get paid

Me, I made the change but I stayed the same, stay the same

I just do the job and I get paid

Me I made the change but I stayed the same


[Chorus: Tron Pyre]

I can't say the same for you niggas

Might cop a new Range on you niggas

I can't say the same for you niggas

Same for you niggas

And I would not change for you niggas (I would not change a damn thing)

Might cop a new Range on you niggas (hahaha)
