WHITEBOARDS

[Verse 1: ByLwansta]

I just turned 25
Incredibly grateful I’m still alive
Considering the fact that I almost died
That other night
Twice, if I can remember
First time was in my ex’s ride
Truck driver straight up ignored the light
He saw the light
But didn’t drive slow
I saw the light
But I didn’t die though
A couple days before “Your Absolutely Right”
I’mean, imagine
Is’bhanxa almost killed the magic
But with all this drive
I’m not surprised I almost died in traffic
But I’m doing alright
No more taking a drive at night on the passenger side
Now that I’m driving in mine
Thanks to graphic design
A booking here and there
Because I still haven’t made up my mind
Whether I’m a
Rapper, rhymer or graphic designer
Or if it, even matters
I haven’t to decided
But if it
Really did, so what if it’s only what I know?
I mean those titles look good in your Instagram bio
But also, I shouldn’t undermine the skillset
Otherwise I’ll be losing out on multiple streams of income
That haven’t even started pouring in yet
Best foot forward, should’ve just been the preset
I mean, both feet forward, this year, I need to leap it
Like February 2020, on a weekend
No? Mxm

[Chorus: Thato Feels]

I just had to write it down
Just to see it
Everything I know right now
I repeated
I just had to drop that L
Just to win it
Hasn’t been about myself
For a minute

I’m shaking it off now
Feel like I’m ready for more now
‘Cause I just had to write it down not to quit it
I keep it in my right now
Don’t forget it, get it?

[Verse 2: ByLwansta]

(Everything’s about timing)
Certain wins I don’t think I was ready for
(Timing)
Certain things only connected - I was 24
Timing
Looking back at my mistakes and all the fumbled bags
They don’t really bother me like that
There’s always plenty more
Opportunities to secure the win
Art first, then you focus on your positioning
I thought about it for a minute now, I was just a kid
I had to pack my bags and leave the place I was living in
And move to jozi
Now I’m here, you can’t ignore me
It took a couple years just to be sure that I know my story
I just wanna tell it like it is, in all it’s glory
I had to be the one to open that door for Sho Majozi
Ooh, I’m such a gentleman
You should give it up to me
I mean, you should give it up for me
I know you see me working
Got my hands dirty
Wipe them on my dungaree
Looking for that handshake
Only if you fuck with me
I’mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
So I can recognise them when we start discussing the profits
I know it’s business, but I’m still a sensitive guy
Before a piece of the pie
We should probably discuss it over a braai

[Chorus: Thato Feels]

I just had to write it down
Just to see it
Everything I know right now
I repeated
I just had to drop that L
Just to win it
Hasn’t been about myself
For a minute

I’m shaking it off now
Feel like I’m ready for more now
‘Cause I just had to write it down not to quit it
I keep it in my right now
Don’t forget it, get it?
