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

Big city lights, so bright

We don't live no lie, we all grind

Jozi, Jozi you raised me right (Yeah you did, put that on everything)

[Verse 1]
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)

[Pre-Chorus]
And you heard the stories, you heard the stories
You can't play a Joburg n***a 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 n***a 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

I'm not cappin' when I say I ain't got no time
East side yeah, we grind here
Put in the work three times yeah
West side, best side, let's ride, let's grind

If you like bitches, n***a, you might get trapped, aye
