Lyrics
Things just ain’t the same for gangstas
– Izinto azifani neze kuma gangsta
Times is changin’, young niggas is agin’
– Izikhathi ziyashintsha, amanigga amancane ayaphinda
Becoming OGs in the game and changin’
– Ukuba Ama-OGs emdlalweni nokushintsha
To make way for these new names and faces
– Ukuze wenze indlela yalamagama amasha nobuso
But the strangest things can happen from rappin’
– Kodwa izinto eziyinqaba kakhulu zingenzeka ngokushaya i-rap
When niggas get wrapped up in image and actin’
– Lapho ama-nigga ehlanganiswa ngomfanekiso nangokudlala
Niggas get capped up and wrapped in plastic
– Ama nigga ayavalwa bese esongwa ngepulasitiki
Zipped up in bags, when it happens, that’s it
– Uziphu up in izikhwama, uma kwenzeka, yilokho kuphela
I’ve seen ’em come, I’ve watched ’em go
– Ngiye ngababona beza, ngibabukele behamba
Watched ’em rise, witnessed it and watched ’em blow
– Wababuka bevuka, wababona futhi wababuka beshaya
Watched ’em all blossom and watched ’em grow
– Wababukela bonke beqhakaza futhi wababuka bekhula
Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough
– Babukela amacala lapho belahlekelwa inhlama
Best friends and money, I lost them both
– Abangane abakhulu nemali, ngalahlekelwa yibo bobabili
Went and visited niggas in the hospital
– Waya futhi wavakashela amanigga esibhedlela
It’s all the same shit all across the globe
– Kuyinto efanayo emhlabeni wonke
I just sit back and watch the show (the watcher)
– Ngivele ngihlale phansi ngibuke umbukiso (the watcher)
‘Cause everywhere that I go
– Ngoba yonke indawo engiya kuyo
Ain’t the same as befo’ (the watcher)
– Akufani ne-befo ‘ (the watcher)
People I used to know
– Abantu engangibazi
Just don’t know me no mo’ (the watcher)
– Angazi mina no mo ‘ (the watcher)
But everywhere that I go
– Kodwa nomaphi lapho ngiya khona
I got people I know (the watcher)
– Nginabantu engibaziyo (the watcher)
Who got people they know
– Ubani onabantu ababazi
So I suggest you lay low (I’m watching)
– Ngakho ngiphakamisa ukuthi ulale phansi (ngiyabuka)
I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?
– Ngashiya i-hood unomphela, ungisola?
Niggas aim mainly at niggas they can’t be
– Amanigga ahlose ikakhulukazi amanigga angeke abe yiwo
But niggas can’t hit niggas they can’t see
– Kodwa amanigga awakwazi ukushaya amanigga awakwazi ukuwabona
I’m out of sight, now I’m out of they dang reach
– Angisabonakali, manje sengingasabonakali
How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed?
– Ubungazizwa kanjani uma amanigga efuna ukuba ubulawe?
You’d probably move to a new house on a new hill
– Cishe uzothuthela endlini entsha egqumeni elisha
And choose a new spot, if niggas wanted you shot
– Futhi ukhethe indawo entsha, uma ama-nigga efuna ukuba udutshulwe
I ain’t a thug, how much 2Pac in you you got?
– Angiyena isigebengu, kungakanani 2Pac kuwe got?
I ain’t no bitch, neither
– Angiyena umfokazi, futhi angiyena
It’s either my life or your life and I ain’t leavin’, I like breathin’
– Kungaba ukuphila kwami noma ukuphila kwakho futhi angihambi, ngiyakuthanda ukuphefumula
‘Cause nigga, we can go round for round
– Ngoba nigga, singaya round for round
Clip for clip, shit, fo’-pound for pound
– Isiqeshana sesiqeshana, shit, fo ‘ – ikhilogremu ngekhilogremu
Nigga, if you really want to take it there, we can
– Nigga, uma ufuna ngempela ukuyithatha lapho, singakwazi
Just remember that you fuckin’ with a family man
– Khumbula nje ukuthi uhlangana nendoda yomkhaya
I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that
– Nginokuningi engingakulahlekelwa kunawe, khumbula ukuthi
When you wanna come and fill these shoes (the watcher)
– Uma ufuna ukuza ugcwalise lezi zicathulo (the watcher)
‘Cause everywhere that I go
– Ngoba yonke indawo engiya kuyo
Ain’t the same as befo’ (the watcher)
– Akufani ne-befo ‘ (the watcher)
People I used to know
– Abantu engangibazi
Just don’t know me no mo’ (the watcher)
– Angazi mina no mo ‘ (the watcher)
But everywhere that I go
– Kodwa nomaphi lapho ngiya khona
I got people I know (the watcher)
– Nginabantu engibaziyo (the watcher)
Who got people they know
– Ubani onabantu ababazi
So I suggest you lay low (I’m watching)
– Ngakho ngiphakamisa ukuthi ulale phansi (ngiyabuka)
Things just ain’t the same for gangstas
– Izinto azifani neze kuma gangsta
Cops is anxious to put niggas in handcuffs
– Amaphoyisa alangazelela ukubopha amanigga ngezinketani
They wanna hang us, see us dead, or enslave us
– Bafuna ukusilengisa, ukusibona sifile, noma ukusigqilaza
Keep us trapped in the same place we was raised in
– Gcina sibhajwe endaweni efanayo lapho sakhulela khona
Then they wonder why we act so outrageous
– Khona ke bayazibuza ukuthi kungani senza ngendlela ecasulayo kangaka
Run around stressed out and pull out gauges
– Gijimani azungeze ukucindezeleka out bese ukhiphe gauge
‘Cause every time you let the animal out cages
– Ngoba njalo lapho uvumela isilwane ukuba siphume emakhejini
It’s dangerous to people who look like strangers
– Kuyingozi kubantu ababukeka njengabantu abangabazi
But now we got a new era of gangstas
– Kodwa manje sesinenkathi entsha yezigelekeqe
Hustlers and youngsters livin’ amongst us
– Abashushumbisi nentsha bahlala phakathi kwethu
Lookin’ at us, now callin’ us busters
– Sibheke, manje sibiza ama-us busters
Can’t help but reminisce back when it was us
– Angikwazi ukuzibamba kodwa ngikhumbule emuva lapho sasikhona
Nigga, we started this gangsta shit!
– Nigga, saqala lokhu gangsta shit!
And this the motherfuckin’ thanks I get?
– Futhi lokhu motherfuckin ‘ ngiyabonga uthole?
It’s funny how time flies
– Kuyahlekisa ukuthi isikhathi siyandiza kanjani
I’m just having fun just watchin’ it fly by (the watcher)
– Ngimane ngizijabulisa nje ngiyibukele indiza (i-watcher)
‘Cause everywhere that I go
– Ngoba yonke indawo engiya kuyo
Ain’t the same as befo’ (the watcher)
– Akufani ne-befo ‘ (the watcher)
People I used to know
– Abantu engangibazi
Just don’t know me no mo’ (the watcher)
– Angazi mina no mo ‘ (the watcher)
But everywhere that I go
– Kodwa nomaphi lapho ngiya khona
I got people I know (the watcher)
– Nginabantu engibaziyo (the watcher)
Who got people they know
– Ubani onabantu ababazi
So I suggest you lay low (I’m watching)
– Ngakho ngiphakamisa ukuthi ulale phansi (ngiyabuka)
The watcher
– Umqaphi
I’m watching
– Ngiyabuka
The watcher
– Umqaphi
The watcher
– Umqaphi
