"Johustleburg" lyrics

"Johustleburg"

2198, yeah!
Big city shit, yeah that's the city shit
Aye, aye, aye

Big city lights, so bright
People here hustle day and night
We don't live no lie, we all grind
As'phele umoya, s'pusha till we get it right yeah
Jozi, Jozi you showed me life aye (Put that on everything)
Jozi, Jozi you raised me right (Yeah you did, put that on everything)

Grew up in the city then I blew up in the city
Used to sell my lil' sticky, life was a lil' bit tricky
I was working, I was busy
They would purchase, I would get it
What you doing, boy I did it
Since a youngin' had the spirit

I miss them days (Days)
A lot of shit changed (Changed)
Life is not the same (Same)
Old friends act strange (Strange)
Yeah you heard the stories, you heard the stories
You can't play a Joburg nigga like that, no
You can't clown me like that, nah
You heard the stories, you heard the stories
You can't play a Joburg nigga like that, nah
You can't play me like that, hell no

Big city lights, so bright
People here hustle day and night
We don't live no lie, we all grind
As'phele umoya, s'pusha till we get it right yeah
Jozi, Jozi you showed me life (Yeah you did, put that on everything)
Jozi, Jozi you raised me right (Yeah you did, put that on everything)

Now I'm in the North side, more vibes
If it's your birthday, more life
South side, we outside
I'm not capping when I say I ain't got no time
East side yeah, we're grind here
Put in the work three times yeah
West side, best side, let's ride, let's grind
You heard the stories, you heard the stories
I see you flexing, nigga, you might get jacked
If you like bitches, nigga, you might get trapped, aye
Yeah you heard the stories, you heard the stories
I see you flexing, nigga, you might get jacked
If you like bitches, nigga, you might get trapped
In the...

Big city lights, so bright
People here hustle day and night
We don't live no lie, we all grind
As'phele umoya, s'pusha till we get it right yeah
Jozi, Jozi you showed me life (Put that on everything)
Jozi, Jozi you raised me right (Put that on everything, aye)
