Lyrics
[Intro]
Quiet
Tune out the echoes
Look into my eyes
And find the window to my soul
Someday you’ll know
What’s happening inside
[Verse 1]
Is it a disguise
Skin deep lies
Will I be alright
Follow me down
[Verse 2]
Shut the door and close all the curtains
Cut the lights, in case there’s someone lurking
Kill the noise, shower with detergent
Get the bleach and pour it on the surface
To numb the nerves take a shot of Bourbon
With no ice so you can feel your chest burning
I can feel my chest burning
And I think it’s working
[Verse 3]
Take a deep breath
Life is about to change
Say a prayer
Meditate and burn some sage
Prepare yourself for the next stage
Keep your story simple
This could keep you out the cage
[Verse 4]
He's gonna hurt ya
Like he always hurt ya
Technically if was self defence
It’s not murder
Guess nobody heard ya
Think nobody heard ya
Rest in peace to yet another burden
[Verse 5]
Hiding from my own reflection
Did it for my own protection
No objections
Means I didn’t sin
Jaded for a damn good reason
[Verse 6]
I’m the only weakness
Wait for it to sink in
Eyes wide open
Barely blinkin
[Verse 7]
Getting it they deserved it
Trust me they deserved it
Tell me was it worth it
I did it on Purpose
[Verse 8]
That’s what this is about
What you believe is what you allow
Faith is power what you believe is what you receive
Kopa Ntate Modimo
Hlokomela my G’s
Hlokomela my people
Hlokomela the youth in ghetto mo ha hona molao
[Verse 9]
Mo re hotse re bona tsohleho never re e lebale
Mo re hotse re bona bagotsi ba nquma bagotsi lieve e bohloko gale re lemala
But my momma told baby boy you better read the bible
Makazana taught me how to move like Daniel in the Lions Den shwy I roar load nna ke Tau
[Verse 10]
How many hours?
Ten thou
That's what's you need, proceed
When it gets hard
Just breathe
Take a breath and breath
[Verse 11]
Made in his image
So the vision
Say G O D
[Verse 12]
Said lefatse le hours
So I’m picking my flowers
Never living in doubt
[Outro]
Gotta manoeuvre figure the route
Gotta plan how you making it out
Planting my seeds when they sprout
Manifest figure it out
Don’t stress figure it out
