[Verse 1]
You been out in the rain
Bloody soaked in your pain
Steady hoping you paid
I was a baby born in your age
In homes were wages were paid & pretty ladies were made
Oppressed amazingly, elevated you stayed
Everyday cops would raid and bullets would spray
History made 94 finally paved
Birth of black diamonds proudly came
To soundly shame and work your way
To be the fastest paid, middle class today
To live out your way, no matter what they say
It's about wat u drive &were u stay
[Chorus]
Safa Saphela isizwe se mnyama
Spending your money on cohibas and fast cars
Saphеla isizwe se mnyama, hey-ah, hеy-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah
Safa Saphela isizwe se mnyama
Spending your money on cohibas and fast cars
Saphela isizwe se mnyama, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah
[Verse 2]
You back from exile, been an alien like the X files
You cut from different cloth and textile
You want the Sandton city life in a Hummer and a X5
Competing with your neighbour about the best ride
Moving out the township for the next life
You got a student and a nice wife to satisfy your sex life
You like settling the drinking bill for the next guy
To prove you can afford, you the best guy
Got spending power, call the bank any hour
Got 8 cars and moving up to a bigger tower
Balling forgetting tomorrow rain could shower
Couldn't be bothered you living for the hour
[Chorus]
Safa Saphela isizwe se mnyama
Spending your money on cohibas and fast cars
Saphela isizwe se mnyama, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah
Safa Saphela isizwe se mnyama
Spending your money on cohibas and fast cars
Saphela isizwe se mnyama, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah
[Verse 3]
Pass the Moët, eh eh eh, eh! (Pass the Moët, pass the Moët)
Pass the Moët, eh eh eh, eh! (Pass the Moët, pass the Moët)
You ballin' hard, switchin' cars switchin' broads
Your credit card payin' other credit cards, boy!
No investment but you payin' hard
The sheriff guard came to get all the cars in your yard
In that regard, your debt is high as the stars
Life is hard, your wife is packin' her bags and left you scarred
You try to figure out what happened in a lonely bar
The tender money over, the bullet is the only way pa
[Chorus]
Safa Saphela isizwe se mnyama (Yeah saphela)
Spending your money on cohibas and fast cars (Yeah yeah)
Saphela isizwe se mnyama, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah
Safa Saphela isizwe se mnyama (Yeah saphela, saphela, saphela, oh)
Spending your money on cohibas and fast cars
Saphela isizwe se mnyama, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
