It’s about my rap career, how I started, challenges I faced and how I managed to pull through after all these years.
[Verse]
I ain't gon' lie about how long I've been in the game
Murdering beats, grabbing the mic, killing these shows, but nothing has changed
2008 was the inception of this
Ngiyak'tshela nasi mpintshi, k'dala ngi too sick, kill a cypher then I get dissed
Ok, at that time it was only just a hobbie
I'm going big & there's no one who can stop me
2009 yakhula daideng
Ngi dream(a) big, phezulu ngizofika one day
I don't wanna lie, I always wanna try
To reach above the sky, as long as I'm alive
I don't wanna lie, I always wanna try
To reach above the sky, as long as I'm alive
Ngizofika da & work with the legends
Talking about Tumi, PRO & ProVerb
2010 I was in a battle, I almost lost
Competition was tough, bang'kuka when I won
That's just part of my achievements, I didn't relax
Besenga dingi nex, bang'bizi king yes
God Damn! I would kill a verse, bang'niki kit kat
Take what's efficient & stay trill #T.WEST
2011, ey ngaphusha ngempela
Ende ezibhaya besezing'fatela
I'd visit shows, ngibon' ukuthi benza kanjan'
I even had a crew, yaphela, ngaphusha ngiy'1
2012, ey I did my EP
Published 100 copies & it was just free
Started to rock shows, every corner
Beng'fun' uk'spit(a) everytime i-mic ikhona
Umama beseka loku a-busy ang'rasela
Athi k'dala ngiphusha mani, but namanje ngisase la
Bengithi ngiyayekela, ngine hope ngizongena la
K'mele ngithole is'khiya fast, mawu wack sik'shiya la
2013, ey i-hype besey'khuphukile
Mina ngijabulile, ama hater wami aminyile
Awu! kodwa kanti yini?
I try by all means uk'phusha real music, kodw' im'nyango isavaliwe
Tryna figure out ukuthi inkinga yini
Ngicel' uk'perform(a), bang'valela kuma session
Ama fan ayahamba 'cause I ain't recording
Kumele ngibhadale i-beat ne-studio time, nisale nginani?
It's okay, nom' izinto zingahlangani
I-piracy ibhokile, kodwa kumele ngi blame(e) ban'?
"Nxa kumele uyeke san'" nice advice, dankie san'
Ngivele ngikhohlwe nga daideng, ngibhekane nethuna lam'
2014 bese ngibulala, cool kid
After that ngaqed' is'gela, ngaphusha u-music
Awuthi sibone what happens next
I'm giving it my all 'cause I wanna be the best
