[Verse 1]
So many people have changed on me
Less love but the hate on fleek
I ain't never been a fake homie
They putting a lot of weight on me
But that's nothing, I'm that youngin
Gangsters love me and I got the trap jumping
Pull up at the VIP, dabbing with the kids
Give em a little hope yeah now that's something
I been through the worst
The pain and the stress and the hurt
Told myself this ain't what I deserve
Had to make sure a youngin was hurt
Through the hunger the drought and the thirst
I was close to laying in a hurse
It's funny how I got saved by these verses
Show respect my name written incursive, I prayed in them churches
Yeah Mama was there for me, yeah
Some homies didn’t care for me
But dad helped me choose friends carefully
And, I was never treated specially
So, ngavuka ngaphanda

Umama ekhala
Ngunzima nok'lala
Bek'dum'amakhanda

[Verse 2]
Regular n***as be hating on me
They congratulate low key
Acting like they know me
Like we back in the day homie
I'm living my dream, hope Manando can see me
I wish lefatsi was easy
They ask for money, they saw me on TV
When all I wanna do is give to the needy
I never had nothing, how can I be greedy?
I'm working hard, I don't want a freebie
Ngphuz'iLean ngamacup'amabini
On the beach overseas naboMinnie, yeah
