[Verse 1]
It was cool growing up naive and all
Waking up every morning with a dream to ball and all
Mom was cooking up porridge, bacon and eggs daily
Had to work hard to make sure she gets us fed fairly
My sister is moaning, her barbie doll is a subject
Somebody ripped the head off that bitch and I'm the suspect
C'mon sis, get off of this
I ain't the one who's all up in your business
Well, moving along, outside the house
The kids are playing, they're wilding out
[?] love you baby, the baby to the sun
That's what we used to play
Words irrelevant, rhythm and coordination was the element
So now I had to move along
Bounce on and walk on and find a dice game I can win on
[Chorus]
My life has not been the same (He waijika le ndaba, ntwan'a sekhaya, man)
Since I met you (And that's the truth, I can't lie about that)
My life has not been the same (He, walithatha lel'vili wa l'jikisa k'dala)
Since I'm with you (And that's the truth, I can't lie about that)
[Verse 2]
Well ten years later everything is looking better except Hip Hop
Everything is going down, all I see is the fun
And emcees don't wanna get down
Then I saw you walking down the streets
Headphone on and honestly
And thought to myself "That girl it gotta be"
If it means me chasing you shouting ("Ema mo!")
I would do it but I chose to lay low
You were the twinkling and the spark in my eye
You caught off guard, girl I won't lie
You were all out there looking for
[?] let me through the door
My name is Amu, I'm in love with Hip Hop
But for you, the microphone can drop
She gave me her number, her name was Tshepi
To take her out, she said she'd let me
[Chorus]
My life has not been the same (He waijika le ndaba, ntwan'a sekhaya, man)
Since I met you (And that's the truth, I can't lie about that)
My life has not been the same (He, walithatha lel'vili wa l'jikisa)
Since I'm with you (And that's the truth, I can't lie about that)
My life has not been the same (He waijika le ndaba, ntwan'a sekhaya, man)
Since I met you (And that's the truth, I can't lie about that)
My life has not been the same (He, walithatha lel'vili wa l'jikisa k'dala)
Since I'm with you
[Post-Chorus]

Ke sa itse gore ke renye ho wena
Kene ke tswara ke molomo
[Verse 3]
Now we dating
Hip and up, everything looking up
She's all I need like a prisoner does a cook out
I'm the man like a nerd with a book out
Stay clock on the look out
Yo, I'm hooked up
This girl got me acting like a soapie character
Normal Amunishin, the scavenger, pussy handler
Now we're more whipped and shit but that's cool
I kinda like these scars
[Chorus]
My life has not been the same
Since I met you
My life has not been the same
Since I'm with you
My life has not been the same (He waijika le ndaba, ntwan'a sekhaya, man)
Since I met you (And that's the truth, I can't lie about that)
My life has not been the same (He, walithatha lel'vili wa l'jikisa)
Since I'm with you (And that's the truth, I can't lie about that)
