(Verse 1: NDBZMND)
If there's one thing I know
Is I've been suffering from a lot of pressure
Build up feeling like a setup
Its those late nights I was doing dishes
Broke a couple plates to fulfill my wishes
I was tryna get it but the streets are vicious
They clip your wings, try to blind your vision
Ngoba iwaar yiwaar ain't no nines or sixes
Its a downward spiral tryna come up quicker
You didn't think I'd ever make it here did ya
Never thought I'd live my dream did ya
Felt like wonk'umuntu bekang'phamiza
So much sh** happened I was superstitious
(I mean woo!)
Ndeke Ndeke how you make it
How you know that this is real and you ain't living in a dream (like woo!)?
I ain't even gonna say sh** this is visual stimulation watch me go and get this sh** like
I can't wait to tell them that I made it
f** the money I don't need to be famous
I just need enough to get my mom to Ruimsig
Do this sh** while I'm medicated
(I mean woo!)
Ndeke Ndeke how you make it
How you know that this is real and you ain't living in a dream (like woo!)?
......(like woo!)
(Hook:)
Is this a dream(yeah)
I swear this sh** feel like it's not real
Hai noma bangathini its not real
Is this a dream
(Verse 2:NDBZMND)
That's why I wake up late
With my name still Ndeke ndakes
I walk around with my dick out till the game concave dawg I penetrate
This life is like crazy 8
That's why I make no mistakes
Momma told me that she sees it it's coming, she trusts it so she don't forget to pray
She's my blesser so I wanna see her out of debt
Abe set
Get her that kitchen set
Ngoba iwaar bes'ngana nex
And she done turned nothing to something
A star but its more like a comet, its coming
I swear that its coming, I'm changing the subject
Bavala ama channel but I can't be bothered
I'm anti consumption, I'm shifting the culture
Pressa pusha phanda
My people is fighting the fees
It hurts me to know I can't be there but truth is im fighting for my own release
Esgela 'nga kheri, that's why I'm tryna bump the cheese
So my kids can live better than me
Take my dad overseas
Sbali do you know what it means
To do it with ease
I told my big sis I can't get rich alone
Put yourself first then the rest will follow
Out the concrete came a black rose
This is picture perfect so I stay froze
Till we squad deep ngama range rover
And we stacking bills with no envelopes
Ever since a n***a made overload
We always riding in an overload
(Hook:)
Is this a dream(yeah)
I swear this sh** feel like it's not real
Hai noma bangathini its not real
Is this a dream
(Verse 3:Emuzee)
(Okay)
My life's a dream inside a pool of dreams
My feet are wet but you can take a swim
Then you can tell me what is really real
Because I don't really know how to feel
I'm tryna hustle tryna stack the rand
I picture money but it's Instagram
I see the money but its in the bank
I see your honey and we holding hands
So tell me am I really dreaming man
This life we live is really tricky man
I'm tryna get it, move my momma out the hood and tell her that we really made it man
I'm tryna do it for the n***as living thinking dreaming really isn't living man
Young boza, tryna be a super mega(aahh)
Emuzee Ndeke Ndeke feel the pressure (aahh)
See me living and you thinking it's your dream (aahh)
And I'll be living and I'm thinking its my dream (aahh)
But I'm living out my dream while I dream, so I'm guessing its dream in a dream that's inception (huh)
And I'm just saying that a n***a been down for fame
I'm on the grind so I had to drop a couple lames
Steady pushing, cos I'm headed to the top, never gonna stop
Haters at bottom hope I'm gonna flop
But I flip it like I got my feet in the sand
And I ain't tripping cos I'm tryna get a couple grands
Hit the grand then we blow a couple rubber bands
Came from nothing we just n***as with a life plan
Show my father that I'm grown and I understand
I ain't gotta have a dad to be a real man
(Hook:)
Is this a dream(yeah)
I swear this sh** feel like it's not real
Hai noma bangathini its not real
Is this a dream
