[Chorus: Saida]
You thought about it for a minute now
It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
You thought about it for a minute now
It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
[Verse 1: ByLwansta
This is the story of an emotional black mail
From Kokstad born, in a world designed to make blacks fail
But he was never the blackest of these boys
Nor did he give single motherf** if he was considered a cheese boy
In a pro-black
Pro-cultural
Xhosa society
"Anxiety was all that was always crawling inside of me!"
Aside from that
If he didn't decide to rap
He'd probably find his a**
In the back of a van
As another motherf**ing stat
But as the story goes
Lwansta was just a kid
Lwansta was not a dick
Lwansta would give a sh**
Before he came to Durban, whenever these other kids
Were sneaking out to a party
It was Lwansta who they said they were with
"Yeah I was that guy, I was even the token black guy
I was friends with everybody, yeah ntwana man I was that guy
But I had a few friends with whom that I could confide
But I could never share the sh** I was truly feeling inside
So I started losing my mind
It's like somebody inserted a f**ing DVD of my life, proceeding to press on rewind, a thousand times
Until it seemed that all that I internalized had come to life
And for the first time, I finally started to realize
I'm kind of broken
If I had spoken about it, maybe put it out in the open
While it was happening, I wouldn't be choking
I wouldn't be joking 24/7 on some clown sh**
I came to Durban and thought I lost it but man I found it f**"
[Chorus: Saida]
You thought about it for a minute now
It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
You thought about it for a minute now
It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
[Verse 2: ByLwansta]
As we've established intwana is far away from home
Often surrounded by people he doesn't even know
Although it's vital for homie to learn these lesson
This process it isn't easy it's also party depressing
'cause it's hard to ever decide
'cause you're always just second guessing, and
Lwansta was dick, he was never taking suggestions man
"It's crazy in this world that's so cold, the older I grow
The colder I become and now it's starting to snow, I mean show, I mean, it's obvious I changed a little bit
I'm not as optimistic as I was as a little kid
All these f**s that I have to give
Are just fractions of what they use to be
Lately I've been losing me
It's crazy 'cause I'm starting to like it, it's who I choose to be, who I'd rather be, it doesn't bother me
That I'm not as popular 'cause of honesty"
But if you just, look into his eyes, it isn't hard to see
Despite the burning bushes
And frequent attempts to part the sea
That as the story goes
Lwansta was just a kid
Lwansta would give a sh**
Lwansta was not a dick
And since he's been in Durban whenever these other kids going out to a party it was Lwansta who they'd wanna be with
So things have changed
But they have definitely stayed the same
I'm this city I might as well just play this f**ing game
And put my sanity up on the table like its up for grabs
But if I lose it? Man I'll probably never get it back
[Chorus: Saida]

It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
You thought about it for a minute now
It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
[Bridge: Saida]
You think you got me where you got me but you don't x4
[Chorus: Saida]
You thought about it for a minute now
It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
You thought about it for a minute now
It's funny how
What goes around will always come back around
And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it's got you wishing that you never made a...sound
Never made a...sound
