Underground Kings Remix
Verse 1 (Part 1 - (Drake - Underground Kings Instrumental))
Wake up every day, there's one thing on my mind
It's the grind, or how the grinder almost chopped off my hand
That one time, in the mines
Is where I sweat my days off
Is where I'm getting paid off
I hope I ain't getting laid off
Live through another day
Spending time in the underground
Look for another way
These chest pains are all on me now
A violent cough shakes
My whole body, you hear my growl
I wake up at daybreak
But I still find it hard to breathe out
But breathe in, brace yourself
It's another gory story
Of how we sin, chasing wealth
Looking for eGoli glory
Work for cheap, it's a high price
I compromise my health
All on me, to provide
And play these cards we're dealt
"A miner's life is hard", I once thought of this in the dark
We dig for miles and miles, but we end up missing the mark
Feel like from dust to dust, is the life we lead in these shafts
Fell like "In God we trust", is the sound that's beating my heart
Lalela! My skin turned black, I was under the weather
This risk is a fact, can we sing this together?
And I tremble when I think of these tremors (heyi, heyi, heyi)
And I tremble when I think of these tremors (heyi, heyi, heyi)
I think I sold my soul for all these gold ounces
Will never count them, but I'm the king and I'll announce it
Crown is mine, underground, down to earth, chel' uBae
Think I see the light of day
Think I'm really on my way
Chorus
Lalela mfana! Uphila kayi one
Ane futhi lento oyifunayo, ingaphantsi komhlaba
Underground!
Ngazi thol' eGoli, Reaching for my goals
King with crown!
Ngazi thol' eGoli, going for that gold
Ane vele that's how I'm kinging
Putting my whole life in it
Instrumentals within me, Hope you hear that sound
Underground!
Ngazi thol' eGoli, Reaching for my goals
King with crown!
Ngazi thol' eGoli, going for that gold (Let's go!)
Bridge
Awukhok' umoya, sizoyi bamb' emoyeni
Singamasoja nangaphants' kwelityeni
Mphufumlo awupheli, ngiyi lalel' egazini
I sit on my throne as an underground king
Verse 2 (Part 2 - (Prhyme - Underground Kings Instrumental))
Rumor has it I'm an underground king!
Angiboni nex, so relax
I'm under earth, understand I'm under stress
Never undergrad, angina sgela, angina fan
It's hot as hell, when under dirt, I'm under pressure
So offensive, on the fence on your negligence
Ask myself, should we protest for petty cents?
There's many men, over here who hate the hands that take from them
No fear, we on, attack
(woah woah woah!)
