99

Yeah, uh
Blessed, we survived 2022
And I was born August 22
Grew up to Jay Z's 22 Two's, eH2
Goody two shoes
TKZee, Bouga 2 Shoes
NoMagesh, eh magaz', eh mambotjie
Yeah, I soaked it all up from my uncles
Coolest niggaz in the world my eyes

Cook book of rhymes fine dine cuisine
Cheffing for the soul, Primetime pristine
Clean, checking for the folds, ironing out the kinks
Drowning in my feelings, climbing out the ink
Rhymin' out the heart, timing out the park
Home base safe, own race pace

Built me a spaceship with a pen
Lent my ear to what the universe would teach
Sent the message every place a verse could reach
The devil buying everything under the sky
So when I lay me down to sleep
Above it all I pray the lord my soul to keep

Like it's 99
And I'm rolling through the hood
And I'm feeling really good
And my uncle bumping Pac
Like it's 99
And I'm rolling through the hood
And I'm feeling really good
And my uncle bumping Pac

Passenger seat, I'm eleven
Questions 'bout ghettos in heaven
Lessons, I'd wear those in seven
Colours on Sundays, food for my thoughts
While we prayed in the church for our brethren
Jitas lost lives over dumb shit
Dudes took my uncle for nothing
And for that the hood still ain't forgiven
And I hear the hood still ain't forgiving
Like out here the life still ain't for living

Like it's 99
And I'm rolling through the hood
And I'm feeling really good
And my uncle bumping Pac
Like it's 99
And I'm rolling through the hood
And I'm feeling really good
And my uncle bumping Pac

A rose that grew straight from the concrete
The Pros and Cons
The rappers and criminals
The rather subliminal wrath of having a minimal chance
Yeah, the chapter's are cynical
The scenes are grotesque
The dreams are vivid as day
So we rap at our pinnacle
And we runway royalty
And the universe listens
That's why we rocking these crowns
And we black and we female
From the trap and the details are well known
The facts are your skin tone ain't meant to define you
Whether the hue is Masekela or Newton
Let's get Black to the Future
Glad to be here, stunning and black
Getting it in and running them laps
Facts, and no one said this path would be fair
But we here, and we bloom, and we care

Like it's 99
And I'm rolling through the hood
And I'm feeling really good
And my uncle bumping Pac
Like it's 99
And I'm rolling through the hood
And I'm feeling really good
And my uncle bumping Pac
