Yeah
One, two
That's good
Eyy
Mama loves me
Papa left me
Big brother raised me
The streets made me
Born in the '80s
They drove me crazy
Are we gon' be alright?
I'm thinking maybe
I'm thinking maybe (eyy)
I'm thinking maybe (eyy)
Gotta a lot of flows, real wavy
My nigga still off the road, real glazy
The game's got lotta clones, real fugeyzis
And all the shit I seen, really crazy
That shit was boot camp, more like the navy
Lot of my days were cold, mostly rainy
Seen a lot of dreams, go all hazy
Those that were born good, were all lazy
My uncle dodging cops, that shit amaze me
And heathens on their knees, like God save me!
Women all lost their minds, dumping babies
And I done seen it all, few things phase me
Mama loves me
Papa left me
Grandma raised me
The streets made me
Born in the '80s
They drove me crazy
Are we gon' be alright?
I'm thinking maybe, yeah
I'm thinking maybe, ahh
I'm thinking maybe, ahh
Papa left me
Who should I follow?
Most of my days were cold
Filled with sorrow
Till I found some joy, through a bottle
Drink my pain away
Till it got hollow (oww)
Chances of making it
Seem like a model (yeah)
Eish be'ku nyiwa mfana
Ni'khala njhalo
Nga pressa, nga pusha, nga phanda
Nga bhala njhalo (yeah)
Yeah rappers therapeutic
Became a gospel (hallelujah)
Man I was young and reckless
Always in trouble (mmm)
And living in a moment
Not tomorrow (yeah)
I went from nothing homie
Became colossal (hoo)
Now I'm flexing I'm so special like mavado, wow
Mama loves me
Papa left me
Grandma raised me
The streets made me
Born in the '80s
It drove me crazy
Are we gon' be alright?
I'm thinking maybe
I'm thinking maybe
I'm thinking maybe
On my knees again
Hands upon the bible
I pray you keep my friends
Who represent survival
Been through all of it
We tryna mend a cycle
Our sons will never feel alone like daddy don't like you
Chillin' right at all
In fact this shit is spiteful
How dare he call you son? but he could never tell you
Life is amazing man and nothing is entitled
But God has greater plans, just something to excite you
You just need to spark, just something to ignite you
So you can breach the dark, so you can see the light too
And maybe reach the mark
You got your heart as sized too
And pray you see the sharks
Who swim across to bite you
Loving you is unfair to me
Daddy never really cared for me
But mama loves me
And that's enough for me, yeah
(Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe)
Mama loves me
Papa left me
Grandma raised me
The streets made me
Born in the '80s
They drove me crazy
Are we gon' be alright?
I'm thinking maybe, yeah
I'm thinking maybe ahh
I'm thinking maybe ahh
