The Dawn (PHL)
Ready for the World
[Intro]
This special occasion has therefore given us an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between South Africa and the People's Republic of China which must count among the strongest bilateral linkages that South Africa has with any country

[Verse 1]
Back in Chinatown I'ma chow mein addict
They say the original man was half-black, half-asiatic
That means that I can pharaoh this and invade the atlas
With a style of kung fu I study everyday and practise
Breathing techniques, boxing with the wooden man
Don't give me the crooked glance, I'll box you for looking fam
A springroll savage, cabbage in my crooked hand
Look out for the vans as I babble with the pusher man
Never let my cooker jam I oil it down and reclip
So when they spell my name I put a 'G' in it
Mr. Hong asked me my name, I was free with it
Now we getting extra on top cos I got 'Lee' in it
I don't see limits, running to the top of the hill
I got two buckets, gotta make sure they don't spill
Giving up is not an option, that's how I feel
Body weak the only thing that keeps me going is will
I rose up with skill, easily made my peers bleed
Knowledge bears seeds categorised as a rare breed
Rare weed make my eyes go chinky
My flows bare seeds make sure the tides don't sink me
Scared MC's make sure they eyes don't blinky
Cos if I cock back they'll sing them high notes quickly
Forever patient, you must time your victory
Eastern meditation so my mind don't jinx me
[Interlude]
Breathe in, breathe out x4

[Hook x 2]
Wake up, wake up, I'm ready for the world now, ayo I'm ready for the world
Get up, get up, I'm ready for the world now, ayo I'm ready for the world

[Verse 2]
I'm ready, I was awkward as a youth
Criminal-minded wild and often on the loose
Plotting on another plan, while I'm scorching on a loose
Now I'm killing on the stage and I'm torturing the booth
We wasn't taught to be cute, we was forced to be some brutes
Cos we walked through awful alleys where they off you for your loot
They say we've lost our minds, I say we lost from our roots
And refuse to accept any portion of the truth
Take caution I'm obtuse, avoid every obstacle
Visionary so I'm looking at you with opticals
I achieved the impossible
Just by jumping on mics and hitting them with steez that'r remarkable
In a league astronomical
So I'm feeding the children when I read out my chronicles
Rappers is comedians to me n***as comical
Living disobedient with seeds born dishonourable
And if you lead they will follow you
[Interlude]

[Outro]
Ayo back in Chinatown I'ma chow mein addict
They say the original man was half-black, half-asiatic
That means that I can pharaoh this and invade the atlas
With a style of kung fu I study everyday and practise
I study everyday and practise (couplets, triplets)
I study everyday and practise (left hook, right hook)
I study everyday and practise (left foot, right foot) I study everyday and practise

Get your up bars up son, real rap shit
