Jozi City Lights

Yeah man, temptations is high, temptations is high

Mo’ Jozi ba lahla, s’ka lahla

S’ka lebala gore o tletseng moo

Spaneng spana…

Jozi city lights, too bright

Bana ba ko gae ba fahlwa ke di-ipone

And I don’t why ba sa tswe mo go tsone

Morafe kopantshang buang le bone

You have to realize, open your eyes

From these spotlights (Otherwise)

You’ll always be blinded by them

I got the binne plaas blues, success how guys like us do

Guys from the number last bundu shacks

You relax and let me start to tell you

When I come phatlalats’ you, party boy bumba clot you

Fithle Jozi fatlhwe ke di-ipone digashu

Le ja school fees le sokole in clubs who’s the fool

Who’s gonna finally find you

When your rent, metsi and motlakase due

Eintlek le nahana le bo mang lona

Balling every Saturday night ha le span, mos

Gow’ tshwan’ mos, la lahla boss, la fahlwa

Lost and found by makgata, mo kgare ga strata

Mo gare ga di plakka, o tshwerwe ka dikata

Ga ba bona niks vele Jozi lights di a fatlha

Jozi city lights, too bright

Bana ba ko gae ba fahlwa ke di-ipone

And I don’t why ba sa tswe mo go tsone

Morafe kopantshang buang le bone

You have to realize, open your eyes

From these spotlights (Otherwise)

You’ll always be blinded by them

I got a call from o’lady a re: "Khuli, e tla gae."

Ka dibala as she started bugging me I asked why

She said, "Child, Jozi city lights, it's a must to make it out"

My mom's what I'm willing to elevate to the sky

She cried, ke sam sokolo

Me and Morafe eating from the same skotlolo

I got the cool aid when I get lebotlolo

I got some loose change o tla thola those or more

O sa phumula thoko moo

Nna ke lepara wena o paraletseng

Move something I’ll show something wena o makaletseng?

Took nada turned it into zaka, u palletswe keng?

(It takes lenyora, it takes lepara to dlala this game)

Bana ba mo gae ba fatlhwa ke dipone

And I don’t know ba sa tswe mo go tsone

Bana ba mo gae ba fatlhwa ke dipone

And I don’t know why ba sa tswe mo go tsone

Jozi city lights, too bright

Bana ba ko gae ba fahlwa ke di-ipone

And I don’t why ba sa tswe mo go tsone

Morafe kopantshang buang le bone

You have to realize, open your eyes

From these spotlights (Otherwise)

You’ll always be blinded by them

Jozi city lights, too bright

Bana ba ko gae ba fahlwa ke di-ipone

And I don’t why ba sa tswe mo go tsone

Morafe kopantshang buang le bone

You have to realize, open your eyes

From these spotlights (Otherwise)

You’ll always be blinded by them

Ha le verstaane van di wane

Let me tell you something

Ga le tlhaloganye, oh no (No-no-no)

Maobane u itse ka hosane

Today you acting funny

U ntsha matlho mo dilong (U ntsha mathlo mo dilong)

City lights too bright, be strong

Everyday le cheswa ke ditlhase

Wasting days le bafana ba ko kasi

'Cause in a way ba jewa ke lefatshe

Bonang le banyana ba teng ba phutlugane

Ha le swabe

Don’t wanna hear your story ha se tlhakane

Don’t wanna waste step back to reality

Jozi city lights, too bright

Bana ba ko gae ba fahlwa ke di-ipone

And I don’t why ba sa tswe mo go tsone

Morafe kopantshang buang le bone

You have to realize, open your eyes

From these spotlights (Otherwise)

You’ll always be blinded by them

Jozi city lights, too bright
