[Rashaad Staggie - Intro]
Die woord PEACE is 'n klap in os arm arm mense se gesig
PEACE!
Die tyd wat Jan van Riebeeck hier kom, 1652 toe het die Boesman vir hom in PEACE gewag en vir hom uitgedeel en vir hom gedeel
Maar hy het my 'n satistiese neiging en afgunstigheid
Hoe kan ek die woord stel
Selfsugtigheid het hy die land vani Boesman gevat
Die grond, die vee en alles
Watte PEACE, watte PEACE kan djy van praat in die land, arm wereld wat os is
Watte PEACE?

[Chorus]
I’ve been shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
I’ve been out here shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
This is Kaapstads revenge nickname yaadtie
Tell ‘em who the baas be
Send him the lokasie, motherfucker come to my kasi
I’ve been shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
I’ve been out here shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
This is Kaapstads revenge nickname yaadtie
Tell ‘em who the baas be
Send him the lokasie, motherfucker come to my kasi
[Verse 1]
If you praying for my downfall keep praying
I can be in the suburbs or where the g’s staying
Because I told you I adapt to my surroundings
I’m the underground king, astounding so crown him
Raised with the wolves at the full moon howling
High school outings I wasn’t allowed in
Always been a underdog but look what I invented
They trying to prevent it my competitors are threatened
I guess I should feel honoured my reputation is solid
Stopping is not a option they’ll just find a way to block it
I speak for the civilians surviving of the minimum pirates like the caribbean check you at the pavilion
Featuring or solo my tongue execute a verse
So why you treat me like I’m the scum of the universe
Cause I’m just being honest and the truth usually hurts
I think you just upset because I do this and it works
You ridicule my rap and all the bad things I did, experiments gone wrong I’m kaapstads guinea pig
But you misunderstood it from my lyrics to my footage
So I have to set the record straight because you made it crooked

[Chorus]
I’ve been shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
I’ve been out here shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
This is Kaapstads revenge nickname yaadtie
Tell ‘em who the baas be
Send him the lokasie, motherfucker come to my kasi
I’ve been shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
I’ve been out here shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
This is Kaapstads revenge nickname yaadtie
Tell ‘em who the baas be
Send him the lokasie, motherfucker come to my kasi
[Verse 2]
If you praying for my downfall keep praying
We’ve been hustling in these streets no ebay
There’s a war going on without the tank shooters
I know Arabian gangsters who’s like Frank Lucas
I also know the low level road runners
So we taking back the land that they stole from us
We have to keep the backstabbers far behind us
This is Kaapstads revenge dude we colonizers
You worried about the platinum and the gold
I’m worried about blankets for the homeless
No my bru I’m not gesuip but if you’ve seen the things I seen in these streets then you would faint
I don’t want your mainstream help cause you won’t give it
It’s Ygen for life, strive to be self sufficient
Amazing how we managed to survive in these conditions
Without any breaks, interludes or intermission
Jumping over every single hurdle
Still I keep a very tight circle
I’m writing all my feelings in my journal
But I’ll have to let it out and become verbal

[Chorus]
I’ve been shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
I’ve been out here shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
This is Kaapstads revenge nickname yaadtie
Tell ‘em who the baas be
Send him the lokasie, motherfucker come to my kasi
I’ve been shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
I’ve been out here shining trying to get paid
You’ve been tryna throw shade on a youngin’
This is Kaapstads revenge nickname yaadtie
Tell ‘em who the baas be
Send him the lokasie, motherfucker come to my kasi
