Truth be told
I don't even know what to do anymore
It feels like there's no fight left in me
Like ak'sana mdladla totally totally totally
I can't even stare at the person in the mirror
Where does one even know where to start with this story
I ask myself will it all make sense
The tears drama and pain is it all worth in the end
Body language keeping people in suspense
I may look happy but it's all just a pretense
Half of the time I don't know if I'm doing great
They say I got all the time but it seems I'm late
Stuck in the walls of my crib I done isolate
Lost in my direction I don't know jo where to next
Mhlambe amabhodlela ayi two could numb the pain
Mhlambe ng'zokhona uk'lal' ebsuku till the next day
I talked to a friend he said be glad you alive
Take a look around you homie not many get this chance
A lot of people die not fulfilling their dreams
For the fact you keep on trying, you are closer skeem
Don't let other people tell you what success is
Irrespective of challenges, you doing great kid
Lemme see what's what's on this television man
Win building iyang'khinya hay athi ngishintshe
Hah here we go again
Same news channel same strike everyday
Uyazi yini awuthi ngivele ngicime TV once hayi
You know what's days like this
Where you feel like ungavel' beleli snyman nje
U buy'i umthunzi enkuku uvele uvel'scrub zishe one time
From sunrise to sunset
Following the tricks in the book but nothing popping yet
Setting goals which most aren't even met yet
It's a long journey you're really far from being set
Fake friends want you in their time of need
But you're only valuable for their time of greed
Like a pole vault stick you help boost them over obstacles
Then you've been sidelined after overcoming impossibles
When your priorities change, they ain't feeling that
They think you've change for the worst, cause they can't get you back
A mountain can shift one stone at a time
To clear the path leaving all the baggage behind
It's unfortunate we live in a society
Where talent doesn't count, but the social media following
Gets you through
Making it rain with them notes loosing their grip
I-mali i-shelela ezandleni zabo their pay slipped
Eish a'thi ngizame ukuthola lo muntu nje
I hope he'll answer his phone yaz
Come on ntwana phendula phone asseblief aah suka
Uyazi yini a'thi vele nje ngithathi khiya nje
Ngishayi itransi ngibona kuthi ngiphelelaphi yaz
Plus umuntu uhwayekile
Lemme just go grab something to eat once
While I'm outside trouble
