Oh lord

by Khanya

on Same Difference (2020), SBEWU (The Come Up) (2021)

Verse 1
[Khanya]
I'm finally rapping majita, it's finally happening I think this surprises me
I'm finally at it I think I got high, life got crappy I wished for my sanity
I was poor, I was wearing the same pants
I was forced into hearing the same chants
Khanya go get a job, don't get involved in musical Bullshit at all
I was something like the wheel (ndirhuqa nge
Rim phantsi)
The pressure inside, it was Barr after Barr just to keep me rolling
I was black and dirty, soil was deep and on me and it's crazy
And even only for the people knowing me for years of producing shit (yeah)
It's consoling knowing Dibas going to the peers I got through this with
My teacher told me that my preacher poems would one day touch on someone man
Now I got poems displayed out in London now isn't that something from nothing man?
My mama told me I was something golden but this music's a problem
And now to get friends she whispers my accomplishments
Like

Chorus
[Khanya]
Oh lord it's amazing (x2)

Oh lord it's amazing how so many of these things that happened had to teach me

Verse 2
[Khanya]
Ain't talked to my father for weeks cos I heard he don't answer the phone when his wife around
When talking my father would speak like he really would love his kids to turn this life around
And really that's sad for him
Homey just been through a serious car accident
Only my sisters can't be there to pamper him
If only he'd be true man I think that man could win
I think that chance has been granted my way with Unathi
Got answers to grant anyway that she asking
How a man could stop loving a woman for years and still bun-in-an-oven her (oh lord)
Now it's my issues trusting her
I think she wants this but
I think that she's picturing the whole family
But she's a hustler
Plus she be tough as fuck
Someone teach her what the role of a man be
And this industry isn't a baby
When a nigga on the Rise, with Bitches condomize cos fake homies wish for that daily
And oh lord
The success of a kaffy can mess with a pack of his friends who pull back and start hating him
Who knew back in the day how on tracks be was training but but...

Chorus
[Khanya]
Oh lord it's amazing (x2)

Oh lord it's amazing how so many of these things that happened had to teach me

Oh lord it's amazing (x8)
