No Exit by Thembe X Lyrics
You thought you had me all figured out, had me up in a box
I make sure I break out then I hide every lock, Jozi is back
I’m the capital now, lets take it back, to when I was a child
In the City of Gold, I was seven years old, when it took my soul
I fell in love with the cold, city corners and blocks
Big towers and tar roads where cars don’t stop
Taxis playing Kwaito, no Hip Hop
Highveld stereo only played that rock
Nigerians on the block and they selling that rock
I was busy getting lost got help from the cops
Got home then we locked our front doors tight
Man the city was hot, we were living in plight
Dead bodies on the hard road, came from the night
Find ‘em all up in the morning when you going to school
We were all up in the mourning in the middle of noon
Is it a dream or its true?
Open my eyes and I’m watching Yu-Gi-Oh at five
Gotta get those cards, so I stole those cards, that’s the way I was taught
By any means necessary and your enemies end up in a cemetery
Young niggas tryna be tsotsis with spotties and they all got a piece no sanctuary
Hey Mama, whatchu talkin’ bout? If we going in we ain't never getting out hey
Hey Mama, whatchu talkin’ bout? Where we gonna live if it ain't The J now hey
Ain't leavin’ when we get rich, gonna make money even if it ain't quick hey
Hey Mama, whatchu talkin’ bout? Where we gonna live if it ain't The J now hey
Now I’m twenty one and savage in the city. AVA after the S with a line up in the middle
Do the riddle, niggas doing the little, thinkin’ that they do the most but they playing second fiddle
I been killing these niggas back when I was in uniform
Killing these bitches orgasms were multiple
I was really raw, except that I was strapped
Stroke something of a genius I was never shooting blanks
Hey Mama, whatchu talkin’ bout? If we going in we ain't never getting out hey
Hey Mama, whatchu talkin’ bout? Where we gonna live if it ain't The J now hey
Ain't leavin’ when we get rich, gonna make money even if it ain't quick hey
Hey Mama, whatchu talkin’ bout? Where we gonna live if it ain't The J now hey
Nothing was ever the same and everyday we here in The J
Paving a way and making a way
Nothing was ever the same and everyday we here in The J
Paving a way and making a way
Nothing was ever the same and everyday we here in The J
Paving a way and making a way
(End)
