Lyrics
‘Cause we’re in your drop-top, and it’s hard, then I’m feelin’ you
– Ngoba sise-drop-top yakho, futhi kunzima, khona-ke ngiyakuzwa
I calmed down, turned around, you put me in a mood
– Ngazola, ngaphenduka, wangibeka esimweni sengqondo
Old house, windows down, but I’m still feelin’ you
– Indlu endala, amafasitela phansi, kodwa ngisakuzwa
Years passed, nothing changed, I’m still in love with you
– Kwadlula iminyaka, akukho okushintshile, ngisathandana nawe
I don’t need nobody else, I just want you to myself, oh no
– Angidingi muntu, ngifuna nje ukuba nawe, oh cha
Mm
– Mm
To get to my current position, I done more than ten thousand hours
– Ukuze ngifinyelele isikhundla sami samanje, ngenza amahora angaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyishumi
Dreamt that I saw my name on a gravestone, maybe then they would give me my flowers
– Ngiphuphe ngibona igama lami ethuneni, mhlawumbe babezonginika izimbali zami
Mum put three of her boys in the tub same time cah we couldn’t afford to shower
– Umama wafaka abafana bakhe abathathu kubhavu ngesikhathi esifanayo cah sasingakwazi ukugeza
Before man snaked me, I already saw it comin’, I saw they was sour
– Ngaphambi kokuba umuntu anginyoke, ngase ngikubonile kakade ukuthi kuyeza, ngabona ukuthi kwakumuncu
But now it’s my time to experience fame, the opps tryna find out where am I stayin’
– Kodwa manje sekuyisikhathi sami sokuthola udumo, i-opps tryna ithola ukuthi ngihlala kuphi
My girl don’t believe anything I’m sayin’, my family need anything, I’m payin’
– Intombazane yami ayikholwa lutho engilushoyo, umndeni wami udinga lutho, ngiyakhokha
Sat down, tellin’ a therapist stories, I know she ain’t gonna relate
– Ngahlala phansi, ngitshela udokotela wezindaba, ngiyazi ukuthi ngeke alandise
What’s this? What’s that? I don’t care to explain, I’ll deal with the grief and bearin’ the pain
– Kuyini lokhu? Yini leyo? Anginandaba nokuchaza, ngizobhekana nosizi futhi ngibekezelele ubuhlungu
I don’t paint these girls in a positive way, you can tell that my heart’s been broken before
– Angizidwebi lezi zintombi ngendlela enhle, ungasho ukuthi inhliziyo yami yephukile ngaphambili
Tryna heal, but it’s takin’ time, what’s the point in life? I don’t know anymore
– Tryna ukuphulukisa, kodwa kuthatha isikhathi, yini iphuzu ekuphileni? Angisazi
Tell the young boys, “Stay in school”, but I wouldn’t be here if I followed the law
– Ell abafana abancane, ” St esikoleni”, kodwa bengingeke ngibe lapha uma ngilandela umthetho
I keep makin’ dumb decisions like I don’t have control of my thoughts
– Ngilokhu ngenza izinqumo eziwubuwula njengokungathi anginalo igunya lokulawula imicabango yami
The guys wouldn’t know that I’m feelin’ like this ’cause I conceal and hide it
– Abafana babengeke bazi ukuthi ngizizwa kanjena ngoba ngiyayifihla futhi ngiyifihle
Everyone’s there on the weekend vibin’, nobody’s there when I need consignment
– Wonke umuntu ulapho ngempelasonto, akekho lapho lapho ngidinga ukuthunyelwa
I heard the quote that the strong survive, but I still got a fear of us dyin’
– Ngezwa amazwi athi abanamandla bayasinda, kodwa ngangisesaba ukuthi sizofa
Some nights still toss and turn in my sleep cah I seen some serious violence
– Ngezinye izikhathi ebusuku ngisaphonsa futhi ngiphenduke ebuthongweni bami cah ngabona ubudlova obungathi sína
I was six years old when Dad left home and they shot my granddad, all of that at once
– Ngangineminyaka eyisithupha ubudala lapho Ubaba ehamba ekhaya futhi badutshulwa umkhulu wami, konke lokho ngesikhathi esisodwa
My lil’ bro’s still going to school, but he wanna do everything that the gang does
– Umfowethu omncane usaya esikoleni, kodwa ufuna ukwenza konke okwenziwa yileli qembu
Now he’s repeatin’ the cycle cah he’s outside and he wanna go act up
– Manje usephinda umjikelezo othi cah ungaphandle futhi ufuna ukwenza okuthile
Got sick of the carton milk, it was free school meals, we never had pack lunch
– Sagula ubisi lwebhokisi, kwakuyizidlo zamahhala zesikole, sasingakaze sibe nesidlo sasemini
Cuttin’ the mould of the loaf of bread and I looked in the fridge and the milk expired
– Ukusika isikhunta sesinkwa futhi ngabheka esiqandisini futhi ubisi lwaphela
All of the mandem jumped in the trap cah we put on The Wire and got inspired
– Wonke ama mandem agxumela ogibeni cah safaka Ucingo futhi saphefumulelwa
Not surprised when I see man lyin’, it’s fine, I already clocked they’re liars
– Akumangalisi ukuthi lapho ngibona umuntu eqamba amanga, kulungile, sengivele ngibhala ukuthi bangamanga
I just saw a cat that I know whilst drivin’, I might park up on the block, say hi
– Ngisanda kubona ikati engilaziyo lapho ngishayela, ngingase ngimise ibhulokhi, ngithi sawubona
Mum’s house bangin’ out Beanie Sigel, I still don’t feel much love in the air
– Indlu kamama ishaya Ubeanie Sigel, namanje angizizwa ngithandwa kakhulu emoyeni
Lost faith in God ’cause I thought I was cursed, kept it to myself cah none of them cared
– Ukulahlekelwa ukholo Kunkulunkulu ngoba ngangicabanga ukuthi ngiqalekisiwe, ngazigcina kimi ngoba akekho kubo owayenendaba
Tellin’ my baby, “Wait, I don’t know how long it will take, I’m gonna repair
– Ngitshele ingane yami, ” Linda, angazi ukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani, ngizolungisa
If it all falls down, would you bounce? If none of the tours sold out, are you gonna be there?”
– Uma konke kuwela phansi, ingabe ubuyogxuma? Uma kungekho kulolu hambo oluthengisiwe, ingabe uzoba khona?”
There’s a few times I lost faith in music, I put out a tune and it didn’t get views
– Kunezikhathi ezimbalwa lapho ngalahlekelwa khona ukholo emculweni, ngakhipha ingoma futhi ayizange ithole imibono
Me and my broski went and came up with a plan back then, but it didn’t go through
– Mina nobroski sami sahamba safika necebo ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa alizange liphumelele
You know that shit that you say when you’re broke, like, “When I get dough, I’ma bring in you too”
– Uyazi ukuthi lokho okushoyo lapho uphukile, njengokuthi, ” Lapho ngithola inhlama, nami ngizokuletha”
Then I blew up and reality hit, shit, now I gotta think this through
– Khona-ke ngaqhuma futhi iqiniso laphumelela, shit, manje kumelwe ngicabange ngalokhu
Three little brothers, Mum’s forty and still ain’t paid off her student loan
– Abazalwane abathathu abancane, umama uneminyaka engamashumi amane futhi namanje abayikhokhi imali ayeyiboleke abafundi
My Dad can’t move, he’s fuckin’ paralysed, just went through some serious stroke
– Ubaba akakwazi ukunyakaza, ukhubazekile, uvele wahlaselwa unhlangothi
The mandem callin’ me, YG’s warnin’ me, sayin’ that I gotta leave home
– I-mandem ingishayela ucingo, I-yg ingixwayisa, ithi kufanele ngihambe ekhaya
I get more money, more problems now, I had less to worry ’bout when I was broke
– Ngithola imali eningi, izinkinga eziningi manje, ngangingakhathazeki kangako lapho ngiphelelwe yimali
Remember I had one pair of Air Forces, tryna keep out the creases
– Khumbula ukuthi nganginebutho Elilodwa Lezindiza, tryna gcina out the creases
Now the front drive look like it’s a show room, and none of them leases
– Manje i-front drive ibukeka njengegumbi lokubukisa, futhi akekho kubo oqashisayo
I’m extremely grateful for all my people cah none of them leeches
– Ngiyabonga kakhulu kubo bonke abantu bami cah akekho noyedwa kubo ama leech
I dropped a tape, got a billion streams and none of them even features
– Ngalahla i-tape, ngathola ukusakazwa kwezigidigidi futhi akukho neyodwa yazo eyayinezici
Now my bredrin dissed me and tryna go viral ’cause he ain’t blown yet, how is that my fault?
– Manje ibredrin yami ayizange ingibulale futhi itryna iba igciwane ngoba akakahlatshwa umxhwele, iphutha lami linjani?
I thought you was Christian, why don’t you move like Matthew, Phillip, disciple?
– Ngangicabanga Ukuthi Ungumkristu, kungani ungahambi Njengomathewu, Uphilip, umfundi?
But you wan’ snake man, move like Judas ’cause you ain’t blew, it’s a fuckin’ vio
– Kodwa ufuna ‘umuntu wenyoka, hamba Njengojuda’ ngoba awushaywanga, kuyi-fuckin’ vio
And we’re London, bare opportunity, it’s not like we live in Ohio
– Futhi Siyilondon, ithuba elingenalutho, akufani nokuthi sihlala Eohio
I booked hotels and flights to all of these shows and brought you to all of these countries
– Ngabhukha amahhotela nezindiza eziya kuyo yonke le mibukiso futhi ngakuyisa kuwo wonke la mazwe
Say thank you and pretend that you’re grateful, but when I turn man’s back, say fuck me
– Yisho ngiyabonga futhi uzenze sengathi uyabonga, kodwa lapho ngiphenduka umuntu, yisho fuck me
Whole six months livin’ at your mum’s, we was with big bro on our own, it was us three
– Sonke izinyanga eziyisithupha sihlala nomama wakho, sasinobig bro sodwa, sasinezinyanga ezintathu
Shouldn’t ever bite the hand that feeds you, I leave man starvin’ cah you’re too hungry
– Akufanele neze ngilume isandla esikudlayo, ngishiya umuntu elambile ngoba ulambile kakhulu
I said that I got you, but you didn’t trust me, I would’ve, but you didn’t give me the chance
– Ngathi nginawe, kodwa awungethembi, bengizokwenza, kodwa awunginikanga ithuba
You can ask any one of the mandem now if I ever left ’em in the dark
– Ungabuza noma iyiphi i-mandem manje uma ngake ngabashiya ebumnyameni
Whatever’s meant to be will be, I can’t turn back time or dwell on the past
– Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba khona kuyoba njalo, angikwazi ukubuyisa isikhathi noma ukugxila esikhathini esidlule
But I sometimes wonder, “Could have I got this far without losin’ my dog?”
– Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ngiyazibuza, ” ingabe ngangingafika kude kangaka ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa inja yami?”
Drop-top, and it’s hard, then I’m feelin’ you
– I-Drop-top, futhi kunzima, khona-ke ngiyakuzwa
I calmed down, turned around, you put me in a mood
– Ngazola, ngaphenduka, wangibeka esimweni sengqondo
Old house, windows down, but I’m still feelin’ you
– Indlu endala, amafasitela phansi, kodwa ngisakuzwa
Years passed, nothing changed, I’m still in love with you
– Kwadlula iminyaka, akukho okushintshile, ngisathandana nawe
I don’t need nobody else, I just want you to myself, oh no
– Angidingi muntu, ngifuna nje ukuba nawe, oh cha
