P.O.T.S(Intro) ft. TheOnlyOneWithWings Lyrics

Growing up they used to tell me that a man don't cry

Called you a sny if they saw a little tear in your eye

So I held my tears back almost all my life

Till I found music and I just wept on the mic

The bottled emotions is what makes niggas go do time

Cause when they shook they explode like two litre ya Sprite

The knowledge at the corner is but it can also be wise

You just gotta be careful about what you let in your mind

You're not allowed to be weak

But you gotta fight to fill your stomach every week

Most of my people be living life on their knees

Believing that help will come from the highest being

Every time we feel down we indulge in that percentage

The struggle don't allow us to realise our potential

It's like the hood was designed to dismantle

And crush every fibre in your being until you are no longer hopeful

Eish

Ene ke flopo dai deng

Ha ore wa gluksa ho dysfunctional ko dladleng

In order to get peace majita a fella corneng

The one place they should avoid ke mo ba fellang teng

But at the end of the day, it's different strokes for different folks

What matters most is to never lose hope

It's different strokes for different folks

What matters most is to never lose hope

Growing up they used to tell me that a man don't cry

Called you a sny if they saw a little tear in your eye

So I held my tears back almost all my life

Till I found music and I just wept on the mic

God gave me a gift

The greatest, I declare it

I just hope I fully nurture it and never neglect it

Won't open up a church but I will bless you with these verses

What I am spitting on these beats might cause a pandemic

But when you are from the gutter you can stomach anything

Especially when things always go left like a wedding ring

Witsi ke flopo he 50 cent e palla many men

Get rich or die trying tatted on a nigga hand

And that's the one he uses when he is feeling trigger happy

They live on one saying, ya madoda ayi pheli

He can let it ring for stepping on his tekkies

And ain't nobody gonna be singing like a Canary

Kinda makes you think why from the streets I stay off

In the short term it can all pay off

But just bear in mind that the costs stay high

And when it's pay back time you're gonna pay with your life
