skit…
he landed in ’96, light skin kid from the township
wondering what is this? when the light hit open eyelids
foreign parents with some local kids, second born but the first son
wondering if he would ever fit, in with society better than they did
so they waited and they raised him, better than they ever could
9 to 5s both sides so one day they finally got out the hood
by then he was only like seven, already been raped and molested
at the hands of a couple of cousins and aunties he doesn’t remember
by now the city calls him themba, thembelihle only to his mother
he’s growing up under the weather, he doesn’t know why he’s so down
so he starts faking a smile, living life a quarter mile
by the time he was a teen, life had already been wild
hanging out with the wrong crowds, n-ggas who drink smoke and k!ll n-ggas
n-ggas who rob folks and make figures, just so they buy dope and drink with us
running away from home, he rather sleep outside
he rather be in the cold, than feel out of place at home
skit…
now its high school and that life in the past
tryna focus on the future alas
break time see some n-ggas who rap, in a circle and they getting some laughs
tryna squeeze in the crowd, see what its all about
face lights up in awe, he never seen this before
one of his n-ggas from class, knows that he also raps
so he tells the crowd ‘stop, let my n-gga trust rap…’
