The song was supposed to be titled From Jozi to Carletonville. It was changed during the recording process because it didn’t fit. It is about how he met Pearl through Facebook. Getting to know her better, uploading pictures and all that kinda stuff. He was very happy and grateful that they met.

Why you act as if, why you act like you don't know?
I know I'm still broke but we can go stack the dough
We will make it, I'm the next one to blow
I can come to you, take a bus from Jozi to Pitori
[Verse 1]
I know you hate it when I'm tripping, I know you hate it when I'm tripping
I'm glad we finally met, I was in love with a stranger
Of course I ain't surprised, you look better than your pictures
Baby go and turn around, you look exactly like your sister
Baby you know I ain't a singer, but you got me feeling like I'm Tiller
I can do what you want, I can let 'em know about us, baby girl ngiyak'dinga
We can roll out the city, just borrow the car from your auntiza
I really wanna prove my love, I wanna introduce you to magriza
