Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rest in peace to my brother Gift
Losing you was hard, it even made the homies drift
Though you’re in a better place, your death caused a rift
But I know you’re singing with the angels, flying swift
I know you’re at a place where the grass is always green
Where sunrays touch your skin like a human being
I wrote this to say I miss you man, how you been
And thank you for visiting me inside my dreams
Look, it’s been years since we pass matric
Life’s been hard but we always make the best of it
I’m still good with words, but I haven’t mastered it
Coz pain happens and words cannot capture it
I’m sure you wondering how we doing and how it is
Lemme try and break it down, and tell you how it is
George and Sihle are fathers bro, they now with kids
Thato still doesn’t like me, well… That’s how it is
Some girls have fallen off and some are boastful
Some guys have given up and some are hopeful
Guess we pick the type of struggles that we go through
And Emtee blew up. He’s now a mogul
It was just yesterday man, when he played marimba
And today, he’s a multi award trap singer
I hope that causes a ripple that makes the rest believe
I’ve been hustling and I hope they see the best of me
I’ll twist my destiny
Best believe I’m out this galaxy
I got the recipe
I’ma rap until the death of me
Now they envy me
Pinky promise I’m a legacy
Different energy
Now I guess this is a fantasy
Got on TV and I got a little bit of fame
Made the cover of the star, now they know my name
And my EP just dropped, I’m bout to change the game
Once they stop sleeping on me, things won't be the same
I can control my temper now, ‘til the show ends
But if lames want to throw hands, let’s throw hands
I used to be scared of death, it made me mad hurt
‘Til someone said to me, while I was at church
To understand death, you need to understand birth
A baby in the womb, doesn’t know there’s an Earth
These are late night thoughts, I kinda salvage
I experienced a pandemic, before marriage
And by the way, I got a favour to ask you
Please send me lotto numbers, if you want to
All jokes aside, if heaven had a payphone
I would call and never hang up, until my battery low
Ain’t no sin in him, that’s what we seen in him
You mean to me, what I mean to you, like a synonym
Also send my love to Shadi, my sister
Gone too soon, tell her that I miss her
Thanks for this beautiful chat, that we been on
In my heart, I know you’ll always live on




I know you gotta get back to sing a tune
I’m also on my way, I hope to see you soon
