CHORUS (C3):
If I tell you where I come from/
You won’t believe that I made it/
Nakwela big bus and I told the conductor I’m destined for greatness/
Boy the City like a snake pit/
Yaffi watch all the moves that you making/
Boy the money for the taking /
But everybody wanna take it/
Will you make it?/
VERSE (C3):
I’m from the concrete jungle the big city lights/
In the streets selling heat I ain’t talking chili bites/
Youth demma stress yaffi die for ya right/
They say God left coz no man living right/
Everything I had built with my two hands/
Try to take it from me promise Imma move mad/
Wan take me fi eediat ni shinke blue band/
Streets gave me wisdom and Imma prove dat/
Yaffi watch for the sirens and watch for the law/
Coz the Po dem Patrol as I run with my dawg/
Church hustle people coz gain is the cause/
So I stick to my Bible Alhamdulillah/
Praise be to God watch my opps gallivant/
Stand pon my way and you don’t stand a chance/
I just run my race leave my opps in the dust/
Ambition never change make it top is a must/
Coz the city never sleep and the money stay coming in/
Can’t rely pon government/
Hit Matebeto for nourishment/
Then we back to the hustle yeah/
Coz my people stay suffering/
And di youth dem struggling/
When they ask me where I come from? I just give them this summary/
CHORUS (YUNG VERBAL):
If I tell you where I come from/ you won't believe that I made it/
Ke nametse taxi kabotsa daaiman ore I'm destined for greatness/
See the hood is like a slaveship gotta watch every move that you making/
And the money is for the making/
But everybody Wana take it/
when you make it/
VERSE (YUNG VERBAL):
Am from the concrete jungle Playground ya mapara/
Quaggasrand west side ya pirara/
Hape mo dawg ra panda/
On the road to success re tsena resna Cara/
Am from the gutter like brown leaves and rain water/
Where we Hide a week's worth of work in the drain water/
Build foundations off ounces/
Forever stacking bricks but we can't afford houses/
Stay focused you’ll get where you headed/
Out here you lose your spark before you get load-sheded/
And I know that eskom abuse us/
But we also stealing cables like I phone users/
Can't even leave the church open/
So even for these blessings we pray with our eyes open/
But you never see it coming/
One man risk it all and the rest die for nothing/
My people dem never rest/
Problems stay mounting like Everest/
Everyday is a battle test/
Laying in a coffin is the only time we truly rest/
I love my hood I say with my chest/
You now looking at a product of the west/
And that's my motivation/
Looking for the gold at the end of this rainbow nation/
CHORUS (C3 & YUNG VERBAL):
If I tell you where I come from/
You won’t believe that I made it/
Nakwela big bus and I told the conductor I’m destined for greatness/
Boy the City like a snake pit/
Yaffi watch all the moves that you making/
Boy the money for the taking /
But everybody wanna take it/
Will you make it?/
