Talk With A Friend

I told my sisters they can be anything they wanna be
that's fine with me I'll help em out
My little brother out in Cape Town doing what he loves for a salary
much love to him, I'm very proud
And I got friends and cousins on their way to big things
who started out with nothing - all they had were big dreams
all they had were big dreams
My dreams have been colossal, I gotta make it also
I'm moving by faith now, I love the gospel
If ever I fail now, it's only my fault

I had a talk with a friend
Who told me
You gotta work for your bread
And only
And only sleep when you dead
And when you make it
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head
I had a talk with a friend
Who told me
You gotta work for your bread
And only
And only sleep when you dead
And when you make it
Don't let it go to your head

Don't let it go to your head

They tell you with age comes wisdom
They never tell you, you be losing your freedom
Find yourself just trapped in a system
Where the main concern is making an income
Umakhulu uneworry
Uthi kunini ndacula iphi lemali?
Fumana umsebenzi noba unjani
While usenza lomculo yibanesalary
yibanesalary
yibanesalary
yibanesalary
I'm an artist
There's a whole lot of logic to my madness
And besides man, I got buddies who went and studied
Got their degrees and still ain't nothing
Nam ndiyafunda - ndifuna iidiploma
And in no time I'm bringing it home
Even in class, I'm thinking about raps
Being one of the best and getting em checks

Hitting em charts with bars like graphs

I want success but I insist
In doing it my way
That way I'll always be hungry
Woke up to a call from a buddy
Who always keeps it a hundred

I had a talk with a friend
Who told me
You gotta work for your bread
And only
And only sleep when you dead
And when you make it
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head

I had a talk with a friend
Who told me

You gotta work for your bread
And only
And only sleep when you dead
And when you make it
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head

People lose their way in pursuit of wealth
They gain the whole world and lose themselves
At one point we could use some help
Why not help others who don't have
Or who have less - if you been blessed
Go on my brother - make that cash

But having money don't mean jack
With no one there - so you could share
To earn your riches - work smart

And expect no handouts
Its okay to stand out
We all can't go the same route
Don't trade your soul for money
Always remain humble
Don't look down anybody
Go for it - if you really want it

I had a talk with a friend
Who told me
You gotta work for your bread
And only
And only sleep when you dead
And when you make it
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head
I had a talk with a friend
Who told me
You gotta work for your bread
And only
And only sleep when you dead
And when you make it
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head
