[Verse 1]
I lost too many of my people in the struggle
Ke setse ke le phiri, every weekend in a jacket with a shovel
Never thought the revelation would be trouble
Blue collar dreams, man
Hustle in the streets, can't stumble
Must’ve been a Thursday, kasi e fifetse
Say ke bosigo, FIFA World Cup e tsweletse
Makanyani a lekeishene a laletse
Sparks got popped by a fool, now badimong o iketse
Sad Youth Day, re tsogile re mofitlha
Many stories told but the truth e bofihla
Floyd are ke diritibatsi, bangwe bare drugs
Bangwe bare tax crime ene le batsi
Rabobi was a father and a son in the community
Always with a helping hand to fill a friend
I learned a lot from your humility
I pray in the hood, one day a legacy tree I plant
[Chorus]
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst
Life is a blessing, but prepare for the curse
Yesterday is a treasure you can never get back
But today is an opportunity, get back on track
Make hay while the sun shines
Life is too short, live every day with a smile
I don't have much, but if I did
Just to have you back there
I would give it everything that's mine
I miss you
[Verse 2]
Ke tsogile ke o kwalela lekwalo
Ke tlhoka jwang ho gopola jana o le koo ke le kwano
Ruri Modimo o mogolo, hao bakwe
You and I on, it’s the seventeenth of Phatwe
Bare it was never meant to be, ke bati
Life gone to waste, hood trackers miss Papi
Another car claims another homie of mine
Bare gase dikoloi but the alcohol that's been claiming these lives
It was a Saturday mahube, school teachers in a simplex
Truck hit a taxi, kiss of death in this context
Sune thari ya baruta, bana ba inela
National disaster, dikeledi dia ikwela
[?] ho thata bananyana ba diphetogo
Leina lebe ke seromo, nou le bone phetogo
Bomme ba ba lona ke bakgale
Tlhaloganya puo eno "Mme o tshwara thipa ka bokgale"
These pretty people living their lives with AIDS
Probably take a miracle to make this enemy fade
The bible, the provider of faith
Abstain from this demon of sex
And add a few to your days
Play it safe
[Chorus]
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst
Life is a blessing, but prepare for the curse
Yesterday is a treasure you can never get back
But today is an opportunity, get back on track
Make hay while the sun shines
Life is too short, live every day with a smile
I don't have much, but if I did
Just to have you back there
I would give it everything that's mine
I miss you
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst
Life is a blessing, but prepare for the curse
Yesterday is a treasure you can never get back
But today is an opportunity, get back on track
Make hay while the sun shines
Life is too short, live every day with a smile
I don't have much, but if I did
Just to have you back there
I would give it everything that's mine
I miss you
