Just promoted to a new class\r\nFound myself a principle. Chose me a new path\r\nIts pen & pad, it\u2019s not too much to exam\r\nStill I was tested by my mom coz she couldn\u2019t understand\r\n\r\nDamn!\r\nShe sacrificed all her dreams so I could live mine\r\nMakes sense coz she lost sleep when I started to live mine\r\nIn her mind- Is this what my son wants do his whole life?\r\nWith your mind son your life can be greater than dope rhymes\r\n\r\nAt least in my mind that\u2019s what I told myself at that time\r\nWith a broad mind, an open heart, I was like now it\u2019s go time\r\nI said Fuck going for gold, I\u2019m going for goldmines.\r\nDrop jewels on their asses and bring knowledge at all times\r\n\r\nExcuse the language, I usually have better manners\r\nI was fueled with excitement, ready to gas me some rappers\r\nPetrol-bomb them to ashes. Or something tragic\r\nAs long as there\u2019s damage\r\n\r\n\u201cIf you don\u2019t DIY you can just D-I-E. \r\nThe end of Wah-Li\u201d. That\u2019s what my spirit told me.\r\nYour heart and your arteries. We call it your artistry \r\nNot simple as 1, 2, 3. Just writing some A, B, C\u2019s\r\n\r\nBut in months of t-i-m-e. I was writing down A-Z\r\nI wasn\u2019t tryna be P-a-p. But more of a P-a-c\r\nBe bigger than B-I-G. That joint man it blew up the scene\r\nKilling in CPT. Even reached up to JHB\r\nAnd before I even knew it I was up on national TV\r\n\r\nBridge\r\nWithout love there is wrong\r\nBut sometimes you have to fight\r\nBefore you can make things right\r\nAnd sometimes it takes a break up before you wake up\r\nTake a look....\r\n\r\nVerse 2\r\n\r\nI wasn\u2019t ready though. \r\nFor both TV and the radio. No studio just months ago.\r\nNow almost every weekend I got a show so I gotta show\r\n\r\nWhy I gave the city hope but most weren\u2019t paying though\r\nNew niggaz saying you\u2019re fam and then they call you bro\r\nEvery groupie wanna get a chance to be the biggest hoe\r\nAs they come and go. In my city it\u2019s how the come up go\r\n\r\nI told myself I wouldn\u2019t come up so. I wouldn\u2019t come up broke\r\nA decade down the road. A legend only my city knows. Fuck no\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s not luck when it\u2019s fate.\r\nIt\u2019s not good when it\u2019s great.\r\nCoz there are no a mistakes\r\nAlthough you get it wrong at least once\r\nBefore you get it straight\r\n\r\nAnd that\u2019s forever\r\nIt gets worse before it gets better\r\nSo don\u2019t let up, keep your head up.\r\nDon\u2019t succumb to the pressure\r\nNo looking back\r\n\r\nBut looking back, I got props from Towdee Mac\r\nVerb tweeted \u201cmurk it fam\u201d, in Jozi there I am\r\n16 bars for the cam, to kill the cypher was the plan\r\nFor the SA Hip Hop Awards, the only way I can.\r\nBack on TV there I am\r\n\r\nLike fuck it I\u2019m the man, there I am\r\nWhile Rattex is asking niggaz who I am\r\nI was in the same room my nigga. I was sitting back\r\nBut here I am, still no cash\r\n\r\nNobody tells you that. About the bad, the lack of fans\r\nAnd how the come up can be hell\r\nSo when you listen to this track\r\nI really hope you understand that\r\nBridge\r\nWithout love there is wrong\r\nBut sometimes you have to fight\r\nBefore you can get things right\r\nAnd sometimes it takes a break up before you wake up\r\nTake a look...","download_count":632,"play_count":18,"restrict_download":0,"generated_thumbnail":null,"flag_count":0,"download_count_24":2,"download_count_24_at":"2021-04-23","reupload_sent":0,"thumb_path":"https:\/\/s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/sol-assets\/uploads\/public\/5b7\/fe6\/9c3\/thumb_103571_300_300_0_0_crop.jpeg","status_reason":null,"status_reason_alt":null,"tags":[]}
