[Intro: ANDRWMAARS]
Aye, izinto thath iskhathi, dawg
Yeah, yabo?
Kutough, zinto thath iskhathi
Fanele uqhubeke nento oyenzayo mfethu
Ngzobon uZinto noPakini
Izinja zami
(Maars)
[Verse 1: Skyblood GB]
Yeah, Sky
Zinto thath' iskhathi when we rush on others
While they put us under
Momma pray day and night, kuthi sobanyisa
Soft life, impumelelo
Snyukel' emakhaleni. sle kude eyntabeni
Umlazi, KwaMashu
(Umlazi, KwaMashu)
HipHop everywhere, nginswempu
Ngiydlozi
Angthintwa, hgiyngozi
Black lives matter
Sbonga nanokphefulumula
Zithin gaz' lami
Action's everywhere, thank you for the grace
I'm blessed, Sathane yanglinga
Funa ngyek' ukukcula
[Verse 2: ANDRWMAARS]
Baars, Maars
Yeah, aye
Get up in the morning
Ngzam impilo
I'd been up in the action
Lento ngiyayenza I don't even got to act it
I remember them days, I was stuck, re-enacting
I remember them days, eKasi
I needed motion, I got to be selfish
I won't tap in my emotions
Ekhaya balambile, fanel slale sdlile
Ungbon ngiphanta ngfun iksas el'qhakazile
Mina ngenzela uPhila
I go to work everyday
Eh gazi ngzamkphila
Ikhanda liyabila
Ngibone uzalo lwam elala
Sbonelo, ngyak'khumbula ntwana yam'
Ngtshele zthn?
Usumbonile uBonga?
Dawg, ngyaz' nisezulwini
(Ngyaz' nisezulwini)
I won't stop hustling
It's going to take time
You want to leave me, uh?
You should leave me right now
I grew up in the ghetto
Mina ngkhule nama Kaffir
"Fuck the white man
I'mma say it till I’m six feet"
I ain't even racist, I don't know what hate is
And I'm going ape shit
Pull up on my nape shit
Cooling with my crodies
Booling with my brodies
Sfun impumelelo
Scel' intethelelo
Angwon umzekelelo
Yasbona sbambelele, angeke snethekeze
Going through the hurdles kodwa buka sbekezele
And I know what hurt me
I know I got to move on
I'm speaking my truth
I been lying for too long
This ting take time
And It's TikTok time
Want to get every dime
These days I can't love
These days I can’t feel, I don't even want to heal
If I say it, it's real, looking forward to a deal
And I’m taking 20 Millis
Pay all my momma billies, I believe it like Ripley’s
I live life like a repeat
This shit is a cycle, put my hand on the bible
And I grip on the rifle, aye
[Outro: ANDRWMAARS]
Izinto zithath iskhath dawg
Izinto zithath iskhath dawg
Eh
You gotta keep on grinding
Keep on hustling, eh
Izinto zithath iskhath dawg
Izinto zithath iwashi, dawg
You gotta keep on grinding
Keep on hustling
