[Intro]
I wonder if you can feel pain my bru
I mean can you really, ja
[Verse 1]
Ever since the day I was born since the doctor cut my umbilical cord and said youngin get paid
I knew the places I was living was strange
When my mom told me one of her best friends was a victim of AIDS
I didn't understand the concept of death until I seen it
Some human beings won’t believe in God until they meet him
No faith in the unseen
OG's turning out to be young teens
Gun squeeze murder scenes lead to crushed dreams
Underground K.I.N.G like I'm Bun B
I must be one of the best that the city got
Our leaders ain’t doing shit so the city rots and racism didn't stop
People acting like society's fine then why I got friends living behind the poverty line
Cape Town is still stuck in the dark age apartheid
I feel like I was born between a rock and a hard place
[Chorus]
Cause some nights I cry, some nights I cry
Why, cause it's such a strange place that we livin' in
Cause some nights I cry, some nights I cry
Why, cause it's such a strange place that we livin' in
Cause some nights I cry, some nights I cry
Why, cause it's such a strange place that we livin’ in
Cause some nights I cry, some nights I cry
Why, cause it’s such a strange place that we livin' in
I wonder if you can feel pain my bru
I mean can you really, ja
