[Verse 1: Pdot O]
I gave my everything, coming straight from Maftown
Mo'Molemi told you n***as to duck down
We build it from the ground up, soldiers in the frontline
I knew that we was destined to break, acquire limelight
But the shit soon fades, cameras and cool frames was blinding
But I kept the integrity like I'm God's child
I love my town, matter of fact I love my country
They love Jabba, matter of fact the women wanna hug me
This is ugly, I'm dying inside but no one knows it
My approach is to keep a smile no matter what the cold brings
I make hits like wow this shit is second nature
Created a style no one could ever measure so Harambe!
Identify with the truth, I was spiritual every time I stepped in the booth
I was a fool with the pen, I put Morafe on the map too
My baby brothers took it to the max that soon so achoo!
I said blessing, it's a open letter
But there's a demon that just knows me better, I approach it better
But I'm tired and I hope I let up, this my philosophy and spoken treasure

[Chorus: Percy Mthunzi]
This shit gets real everyday
Every time I put my head up high
You put me down like a slave
This shit gets real everyday
Every time I put my head up high
You put me down like a slave
[Verse 2: Pdot O]
I seen the accolades
I seen the praise, I seen the tours
Seen the bitches on all fours, seen the devil's face
Make no mistake, I was born with greatness
Motswako king, trust I wore the crown with patience
The industry is no joke
People try to front on you like oh so, now that I got shit popping these hoes go, on bended knees ready to blow like "Woah! Slow down baby let's hit the crib or get down enjoy a smoke"
I build an empire, took the hits to be a star
Strayed a bit I stuck my hand in the cookie jar
But shit we took it far
This is the moment, fuck the label let's push hard and start our own shit
I still remember the screams, this shit is beautiful
My pen cultivated my dreams, travel overseas perform and hold my kids in the door
Man I do this shit for them, trust and believe this is my gospel nothing can ever stop you
How many classics sitting under my belt?
YBA the NW shit was critically felt
Thank You Note was a masterpiece I wish that I could master peace
But this motherfucking demon chasing after me
Woah, familiarity breeds contempt
The same industry who praised me now feels I fell off like what the fuck though?
I'm still sharp I'm cut throat
This shit don't matter, when they over your past quotes
I need some time alone, I feel I'm done with this
I pray my son understand how his father feels
It's too much it's like I can't fucking breathe
I'm home alone I need some rope
I hope they understand my need
God, God take me away
It'd be better if I never existed, cause this pain insane
I know it's selfish but I truly don't give a fuck
I'm in my darkest this is way past giving up
You know, fuck it I gotta go
I guess I'll see y'all in the next life make sure you keep my name afloat though
Just make sure you keep my name afloat though
[Chorus: Percy Mthunzi]
This shit gets real everyday
Every time I close my eye I see you
This shit gets real everyday
Every time I put my head up high
You put me down like a slave

This shit gets real everyday
Every time I put my head up high
You put me down like a slave
This shit gets real everyday
Every time I put my head up high
You put me down like a slave

[Refrain: Percy Mthunzi]
Would you let me, would you let me be?
Would you let me, would you let me live in peace?
