Tomorrow’s just another day
Been stuck at home for the past two years [hush
This sh– kinda replays itself
Hard to explain
The way I’ve been lazing to get paid
Comes down to being afraid
Many of whom could relate [yeah
It’s hard to be honest with your fate
When you’ve chosen to do the same as many
But I’m beruit
Om alles op lyn te sit
I’ve waited for too long
To be patient with it [is ya]
You see the way I’m living [uh
Growing up quiet in the chatjies
I would think nothing of it
I kept out the eyes of the public
And some would call that lucky
I call being blinded causе watching it all
Was doing nothing [stiek uit
I had to do something about the situation I’m in
Situatеd in a part of town you’d hate to run in [hmm
It’s either you pick up the gun
Or they could get to gunning on you
Half of mense here don’t wear tattoos [uh-uh
So you get the bruising for the ones who do [yeah yeah
When it’s come to shooting
We don’t hide from you [uh-huh
Cause you get the youth
Thinking it’s time to prove
Just to get a laaitie who won’t move [pah-pah
They put a couple rounds in like it’s booze
Taking shots from the glass
With a Mandalay Bay view
If had to show you
This place that I grew
You’d think it’s a movie
What’s going on in The Chatjies?
It ain’t easy living in my street
Always fear of somebody else watching
Can’t deal? Get the **** out my backseat
It’s my taxi
Call out the gaatjies
We’re taking whatever we wanna
Whether they ask it
Tell them that the Manenberg
Said that I can have it
Starting with a nasie
Generation N.A.A.F.I
No, it ain’t easy living in Chatjies [yeah
It ain’t easy living in Chatjies
I started today
Hasn’t been long but I think
I’m onto something that’ll pay the bills [ching
I give major chills when I play so it’s like
I paved the way but I can change it still
Both ways, I step off the pavement
Like I hop the train those Heideveld days
But this time it’s patience I get to take
This road I’m on goes on like the name
Thought I was lame and stuck up
The way I’d lock up the rage
Inside of a page
Well now I got a flame to light up a stage
Confident to say I’m stuck on my lyn
Like a laanie [yeah
No criminal record but I’m moving like Staggie [yeah yeah
Killing the music that’s on every radio stasie [uh
If I make em realize there’s
A legend in every laaitie
Then where you coming from shouldn’t baatie
Didn’t have to be strong
To get out the violence [uh-huh
Said I had be small
I put them on silent [nope
But they kept playing me so
While I was being tried on
Strings that I rely on is like
Taking on Goliath [yeah
There’s a million ways to kill a lion here
For some guys its mountains
Others its fire where the flint sparks the lighter [bam
Guess I’m the writer [bam
Setting this place alight
What’s going on in The Chatjies?
It ain’t easy living in my street [uh-huh
Always fear of somebody else watching [uh-huh
Can’t deal? Get the **** out my backseat
It’s my taxi
Call out the gaatjies
We’re taking whatever we wanna
Whether they ask it
Tell them that the Manenberg
Said that I can have it
Starting with a nasie
Generation N.A.A.F.I
No, it ain’t easy living in Chatjies
It ain’t easy living in Chatjies
It ain’t easy living in
