HOW BOUT NOW

[Intro: Jake from Adventure Time]
Tiffany! I'm the same Jake, I just stopped stealing mostly! 'Cause when you get older you're supposed to get in other stuff, like graphic design, or pottery. It's called "growing up"!

[Chorus: Lungelo Manzi]
Popping in the city for dreaming
Still trying to fight the feeling
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

I've been on the curb with three men
Gun to my face, they stealing
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

Stuck between the strings and secrets
Had to make a choice to see this
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

I took a long road to reach it
Took a long row to reach it
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

[Verse 1: ByLwansta]
Before we get started we should firstly maybe acknowledge
How you disciplined yourself and you've managed to finish college
Wow! I'm proud of you
You did and it, it only took you like four years?
Just the three of us there?
Ngxa, suka, who the fuck cares!?
Listen bru! I'm happy for you, I really am
But I just fail to understand
How you forget that you were the man that year
You left the country, rightfully, put yourself on the map
Was there a reason you didn't even have any other tracks prepared?
C'mon! The world was anticipating your next move
You were just busy hating the next dude
The fact they're pursuing music with zero excuses really upsets you
That's the kind of stuff that I expect you to do
But you for you to choose designing posters and placing typography
Instead of writing lyrics is really starting to bother me
I mean, what are you? A rapper? Or a graphic designer?
He can be both though, a young Virgil or as G.O.O.D as Desiigner
(What?)
You know what I mean?
Lwansta just listen to me
You make amazing music, now you also have a degree
So go ahead and pat yourself on the back
Let's have a toast you
You came to Durban and did everything you were supposed to do
I know that you had different ideas when you first arrived
You thought that making music is all you need to survive
And now you’ve got graphic design, and now it’s time
You made some serious decisions about your life
And start acting like an adult

[Chorus: Lungelo Manzi]
Popping in the city for dreaming
Still trying to fight the feeling
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

I've been on the curb with three men
Gun to my face, they stealing
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

Stuck between the strings and secrets
Had to make a choice to see this
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

I took a long road to reach it
Took a long row to reach it
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

[Bridge: ByLwansta]
Popping in the city for dreaming
Still trying to fight the feeling
Feeling like...

I've been on the curb with three men
Gun to my face, they stealing
Feeling like...

Hey, ntwana, ntwana...

[Verse 2: ByLwansta]
Listen, I don’t doubt your ability
Your music is crazy ntwana, "STAY NAKED" is killing me
But I just want you to think about stability
Man, you need not stop keeping design in your periphery
Do I have to remind you and rewind you
Back to the times you were grinding just for this degree?
Crying just for this degree?
Now you’re done, now you want to act like you got it for free
When you started applying did you even really see the fee?
You don’t even see the receipt
That’s why it’s so easy for you to take it easy, my G
One day you might see the light and finally send a CV
Instead of focusing on selling CDs, just flip that D to a V
Lwansta just listen to - kshh, yima woah, listen bro!
Please can you not act like intwana isn’t doing the most
When his foot is not on the pedal
Then it’s down on their throats, chokity-choke
It’s looking easy the harder he goes
They think they’ve got him but they’re not even close
So ahead, they recently found COLORS
Now look at the gap, look at the ground covered
No looking back brother, wrong way!
You came a long way
And they don’t understand that you’re all day
Busy playing the long game

[Chorus: Lungelo Manzi]
Popping in the city for dreaming
Still trying to fight the feeling
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

I've been on the curb with three men
Gun to my face, they stealing
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

Stuck between the strings and secrets
Had to make a choice to see this
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

I took a long road to reach it
Took a long row to reach it
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

[Bridge: ByLwansta]
Popping in the city for dreaming
Still trying to fight the feeling
Feeling like

I've been on the curb with three men
Gun to my face, they stealing
Feeling like

[Chorus: Lungelo Manzi]
Stuck between the strings and secrets
Had to make a choice to see this
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)

I took a long road to reach it
Took a long row to reach it
Feeling like (How 'Bout Now?)
