(Ayy, yoh)
Listen close, the clock is ticking loud
Sylvester Jongani, it is your time to shine
Wake up, make it count, let’s go!
Young man, the sun is rising on your street
Don't let the shadows drag you off your feet
You think you have the time to play the fool
But life is not a game you learn at school
Stop chasing shadows that will fade away
You need to build the fire for your day
Forget the substance that will kill the dream
You’re better than the path that’s in the stream
Rise up, Sylvester Jongani, take the lead
Plant the right foundation with the seed
Work hard while the energy is strong
Don't let the lazy days prove you wrong
Rise up, the world is waiting for your light
Turn your vision into something bright
Your mates are busy wasting precious hours
They’re cutting down the buds instead of flowers
But you, you have a purpose deep inside
Don't let the bad activities be your guide
Stay focused on the goal, keep your eyes clear
The future’s moving fast, have no fear
Whatever that you touch, let it be gold
Before the morning turns into the cold
Rise up, Sylvester Jongani, take the lead
Plant the right foundation with the seed
Work hard while the energy is strong
Don't let the lazy days prove you wrong
Rise up, the world is waiting for your light
Turn your vision into something bright
Time is the currency you cannot buy
Look at the stars, you were born to fly
Leave the drainers in the dust behind
Greatness is a state inside your mind
Rise up, Sylvester Jongani, take the lead
Plant the right foundation with the seed
Work hard while the energy is strong
Don't let the lazy days prove you wrong
Rise up, the world is waiting for your light
Turn your vision into something bright
Yeah, keep pushing, Sylvester Jongani
No stopping, no wasting time
Just greatness ahead, ayy
Natotela, let’s go!
(Yoh)
