What's a message if you can't recite fast flows
Tale the steady rapper is the future
Let's fast forward
The irony is deep
You play me and fast forward
Whereas you believe imma perform at sold out shows
If I was Thomas I'd wanna see with my eyes closed
The guy code
Spotlight's for the ones who chose to go toe to toe with grootmans ways and protocols
I'm the difference between ditleva le dibhari dawg
I'm the whole space
The spirit of a holy God
I never speak but I understand like a dog
Wandering around my shady hood in the midnight
If you see what I have seen
Even after blinking twice
Make sure not to make a scene
Understanda kasi e jwalo
If I was asked to make a portrait ya ko kasi K1
Poverty
Politics
Pussy power
Peer pressure
Empty promises
Pure cowards
You wouldn't understand us
Infinite definitions to define us
To narrow it down
I'm amongst the youngins
Hustlers and go-getters
The dice game
I'm not a bystander
I'm a bypasser raised in a home that embraces high standards
It runs in the blood
But I don't look down on anyone
My neighbour is my blood
Sjita sea qava I'm a loner but I'm occupied
By dope rap ancestors living in my rhymes
Katlehong was a military base my king
The place where success
Happiness
And depression is
The economy's looking bad for us
It always has been
The sad illusion is that the middle class exists
The powerless poor eating crumbs of the filthy rich
It is what it is
Time will tell it better than me
When you deciding what to do with your life
And look around to see your environment the way it is
Start a business amongst an unsupportive market
Makes decision making difficult
You run away or
Stay look poverty in eye
Evading witchcraft
So called xenophobic attacks ho makula
The second round they shoot us
Local business owners
Tuck shops to be exact
Well rumour has it
It's trigger happy Zulu fingers
The nkabi contract
Careful not to lose your finger pointing their direction
Zero tolerance for informants
Ever since the government's influence and covenant was black oppression
Some local freedom fighters became what's known as gangsters
Started a business of taking back originally indigenous black owned privileges
With guns and taking them back home
To refurbish the empty black houses into homes
Jail is a hell hole
None of them come out quite the same
And every time they come out
The struggle's not the same
What would happen if your neighbour's snitching out his neighbour's name
And you found out he's the reason you were sentenced more than eight years in prison
Eish
That's backstabbing pain
The upcoming generation's intent won't remain
Stealing from the rich and giving back to the poor
They'd think it's through crime that a black man can afford
The lifestyle of a hood rich with power to the core
Drugs flood the streets and the bullets killing more
God is out of reach but I think we can applaud
The narrative from Katlehong's young chosen boy
With spirit of infinity got ancestors involved
I'm a dead gangster speaking resurrected in this song
This is a perspective of me who once lived before
Before I was king pin were deaths on the throne
I did it to survive knowing my life won't be long
I'm a rap ancestor who died here in Katlehong
I'm a rap ancestor who died here in Katlehong
I'm a rap ancestor who died here in Katlehong
