Climbing

On the pursuit of happiness
Sipping and chocking on cannabis
Dreams but low self-esteem got in the way of it happening
Stuttering while practicing
Mommy was handicapping and
Little brother in college and
Daddy was getting cancer and
Other brother doing shit we shouldn’t be discussing and
No, stranger to struggling
Young, coloured and hustling
From bottom I started this
Dream I beam on the mothership
Fake friends I just stopped fucking with
My ex packed up her shit
I’m on a new covenant
Debt collectors coming for my exposure money and
Self-conscious and honest and
Dream seekers anonymous
Tired of’em bitching about how they ain’t be profiting
Haters were fucking loving it
Thinking that I was suffering
But after some flushing and
On mission Impossible
New skills I was polishing
Now I’m hater intolerant
Rose from the ashes
Cause I ain’t living anonymous
Shortened my circumference
Embrace the power in knowledge
Master never gave us books so we don’t accomplish shit
So we don’t accomplish shit
Master never gave us books so we don’t accomplish shit
I’m on some other shit
I don’t do astronomy
I create my own prophecies
Mind over this poverty
Sick of the hypocrisies
Rapping without apologies
I’m just climbing back to the top
I’m just climbing back to the top
I was nine to fiving and
Saving up for this music and
Shaking and Baking 3 AM
They was never believing
Just too coloured and ignorant
Too feeling like we ain’t shit
Too stuck in their ways just like the apartheid governing
Too legit to be quitting and
Treating me like an immigrant
Cause I was dream chasing on roads nobody was travelling
But back packing immaculate
Cape Flatsing I’m macking’em
Too broke but passionate
My heart would navigate
Banished from most establishments
Slavery I ain’t having it
Middle finger to master and now I’m freer than half of’em
In the Presence of Legends and
Got radio numbers and
Doing all of this modelling and
Celebrating the positives
Chubby geek turned confident
Overcoming my Obstacles
Consciously doing opposites
I ain’t fearing the consequence
Foreign womens is giggling
Feeling super significant
Mama hearing «Girl your son is back on the air again»
But mama I ain’t make it yet
Makin', making a difference
They arresting my dreams before I declare my innocence
Find me a girl to accomplish with
Before I die, my dreams are coming true, mama I promise this!
I’m on some other shit
I don’t do astronomy
I create my own prophecies
Mind over this poverty
Sick of the hypocrisies
Rapping without apologies
I’m just climbing back to the top
I’m just climbing back to the top
