Yeah
From the Eastern Cape to the city lights
They didn't see the vision, but I kept the sight
Sizwe, yeah
Straight hustle, no shortcuts
Listen
I remember dusty roads, barefoot in the dirt
Eastern Cape sun beating down on my shirt
Poor background, empty pockets, nothing to my name
But a heart full of fire and a hunger for the game
I had to leave the village, had to find a new way
Took a bus to Cape Town, didn't know if I would stay
The city was cold, the concrete was hard
But I played my hand, yeah I played every card
I’m grinding in the shadows, waiting for my shine
Step by step, yeah, I’m claiming what is mine
Been there, done that, yeah I seen the struggle
Turned a little piece of nothing to a heavy bundle
Sizwe, look at me, I made it out the zone
Built a castle from the mud, now I’m sitting on the throne
Been there, done that, yeah I seen the struggle
Turned a little piece of nothing to a heavy bundle
Sizwe, look at me, I made it out the zone
Built a castle from the mud, now I’m sitting on the throne
Cape Town nights, neon lights, hustling for the bread
Kept my head low, kept the visions in my head
From a rural boy to a king in the street
Turning every failure into something sweet
They doubted my potential, said I wouldn't last
Now I’m moving forward, way past the past
I learned the game, mastered the flow
Watch the bank account and the legacy grow
No more struggle, no more eating scraps
Just hitting targets, putting cities on the maps
Been there, done that, yeah I seen the struggle
Turned a little piece of nothing to a heavy bundle
Sizwe, look at me, I made it out the zone
Built a castle from the mud, now I’m sitting on the throne
Been there, done that, yeah I seen the struggle
Turned a little piece of nothing to a heavy bundle
Sizwe, look at me, I made it out the zone
Built a castle from the mud, now I’m sitting on the throne
It wasn't easy, the road was long
But every single trial just made me strong
From Eastern Cape to the top of the chain
I embraced the struggle and I danced in the rain
Now I’m looking back, see how far I really came
Different level now, but I’m still the same
Respect the grind, respect the way I rise
You can see the hunger still inside my eyes
Sizwe, yeah, the name you gotta know
From the bottom, now I’m running the show
No looking back, only looking at the sky
Keep it real, keep it moving, stay high
Been there, done that, yeah I seen the struggle
Turned a little piece of nothing to a heavy bundle
Sizwe, look at me, I made it out the zone
Built a castle from the mud, now I’m sitting on the throne
Been there, done that, yeah I seen the struggle
Turned a little piece of nothing to a heavy bundle
Sizwe, look at me, I made it out the zone
Built a castle from the mud, now I’m sitting on the throne
Yeah
Sizwe
Cape Town to the world
We made it
No more dusty roads
Just elevation
It’s a lifestyle
Yeah
