Everything is secondary
Family first

[Verse 1]
Ocean view is where it all started
With my forefathers
I wasn't born Roberts, but that’s another story
We can talk after, I'm not your pastor
I'm the forecaster who saw disaster
Apartheid was hard but we all stronger
Split us up to see more darkness
Freedom was far but we walked faster
Grew rapidly from a average seed into a family tree
We lived happily
And the flats and streets where the gangsters be
A lot of concrete roses one thing I know is fam can’t be chosen
No matter where I live it's irrelevant, I love my relatives
What a combination multi coloured faces, all blood related
Ya my cousin's crazy ancestors traced me to my birthplace
We shared everything plus surnames
That's before the apps and the cellphones
I was well known I used to sell clothes
I can't talk about it coz it's family business
Arabian gangsters and the Christians are my…

[Verse 2]
I was raised by a single mom
A strong one like Charlize Theron
She couldn't buy me no Billabong
So we didn't always get along
I’m the one the cousins picking on
Fighting them and watch Digimon
They didn’t wanna put the TV on
But they love me it's a different bond
It’s unfortunate that I saw some kids in the orphanage
They have origins, but lost all of it and their coordinates
To not have family is painful so be grateful
Coz they raised you from the cradle till you were stable
They mend broken hearts and you's can lekka laugh for old photographs
And when you broke apart and got no regards it really broke you hard
Because there isn't a difference look at the lineage, there's significance
Relative distances, Eid’s and Christmases, family visited
They will benefit when they've inherited that's my…

The children of today must venture into the past
To see how far the struggle comes along
From their parents and their parent's parents
And then they will appreciate the life that they living today
Even greater and they'll appreciate their parents even greater
And see the sacrifice that they have made
To put them on a pedestal where they are today
