Verse 1
You work hard everyday, believe in your pa**ion
Put love in all you do, let it be seen in your actions
And that will speak volumes, don’t scream for attention
Haters, ungazihluphi ngabo, not even a mention
This is good advice here, you can feel I’m a father
I have no time or energy to deal with the drama
All these rappers popping up kodwa baringa amanga
And it’s all for trophies, bafun’ uk’wina ama-SAMA
See I come from an era, we wrote and spoke from our hearts
No smokescreens and mirrors, quote the dopest of bars
I’ll show you the ropes if you asked, before you’re broken apart
Even without them shiny things, I hope you know you’re a star
You need to be a little careful, what you think can appear
I know there’s cats at the top of the charts that’s thinking I’m mad
But I’mm a keep it level with you, since I’m a dad
I’ve seen many who refuse to take the hint now they sad
Hook
They tryna pull you down
They wanna see you fall
Go on and do us proud
I know you gon beat the odds
They tryna pull you down
They wanna see you fall
Go on and do us proud
I know you gon beat the odds
Verse 2
We fought for the change but we got the small money
Now we think that we’re rich
Sweet sixteens in the bars, buy a drink for the b**h
Shark a** rapper who be biting flows
Who wanna swim with the fish
I was one of the top three until the other two rappers went bubble gum
Now I don’t f**k with them
I put my nine on the floor for those who like to jump the gun
These lames be saying bars for every wack rhyme
That’s synonymous to D-day, that’s a deadline
You need to focus on the source of your wealth, you ain’t no gangsta
Cut the gun bars, that be the cause of your d**h
I’m not a preacher, I’m a teacher tryna reach-a on a deeper
Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, talking is cheaper
If it’s true that fortune favours fools then I’m an idiot
You couldn’t flow sick if you rhymes on your period
Hook
They tryna pull you down
They wanna see you fall
Go on and do us proud
I know you gon beat the odds
They tryna pull you down
They wanna see you fall
Go on and do us proud
I know you gon beat the odds
