Tell Me
[Intro: Pdot O]
(Tell me what's on your mind)
Aye
Peace
(Tell me what's on your mind)
Yee

[Verse 1: Pdot O]
Location, east of Pretoria
Mentality and peace, I'm thinking further euphoria
I'm holdin' up
Too many homies we done lost
My n***as hard at work, I see these brodies is a force
I divorce negative thoughts the 'cause to be a boss
Is infiltrated with the ghost, I see the most is on a loss
Lord help me, cold nights been having nightmares
Solidify the lagacy baby, this shit is quite clear
I'm right here, never left I know your type scared
This life here? Sudden death, tell em to fight fair
Tell me that you love me, tell me that you care
Some shit beyond us so we just leave it up to prayer
This is madness, gun cocked n***as is sprayin' clips
Nqanda ntwana nanga amajita ezama ukung'thelekisa
We panel beat, these beats with ease and call it therapy
I'm tryna keep the peace but, n***as just had to mention me
I let it be
Aretha Franklin with the piano piece, beyond relief
I'm quoting parables that's beyond release
Beyond disease, I'm talkin', ngapha kwesifo
Bomb threat, we 'bout to detonate, talkin' C4
We need hope, please bro, you need to release more
We piss poor, tired of scrapping begging for piece jobs, yeah
In the belly of beast, this is spiritual trust me
So here it goes speaking through me, trust and believe
[Verse 2: Tae Africa]
Trust and believe I been on my knees, eish
This rap thing is not as fun as it seems
My baby left 'cause, I wasn't signing no deals and that means
Simply put I wasn't paying no bills, eish
It never dawned on me our sun would set, eish
I'll live with that as long our son is set
We never flew' cause we were focus on the floors
On post to open doors, playing catch up was the sauce, eish
So here I am, just I like Fetty Wap
Damn, with an ich to start from scratch
Besilapha sobabili sigumb' inkava ok' indlela zabambili, I went this way, you went the other
I can't see them coming down my eyes, so I rather let this song cry
Yeah, I can't see 'em coming down my eyes, so I rather let this song cry, real

[Refrain]
(Tell me what's on your mind)
(Tell me what's on your mind)

[Verse 3: Touchline]
Yeah, 17 I'm imitating the greats
In the mirror, pretending I'm HH- or Jay
I can write but, do I have what it takes?
I'm only in grade 11
I study but, only stay awake late nights to scribble my thoughts and I only sleep if I can't write
Eyes red from a lack of rest, I don't take five
If I'm ready to stop, I'll give a sign I'm a brake light
Baby let me go 'cause, I just cannot do date nights
But I need success I gotta to know what that tastes like
Rubix had a sound card and Speaker has a great mic
He let me hit the stu and that ain't something I take light
Wish I could give him something that amounts to the same price
But it's priceless
Dacade later I ain't heard anybody like this
The nicest, slept on by the same people I feed you gotta love the itis
Tears in my eyelids as I write this
Feeling super unfulfilled but, still take care of these boys at Will like uncle Phil, for real
Thank God
Thank God I still got my father's values instilled
Maybe that's why sometimes I just don't go for the kill
Self esteem shaky on difficult days
I gotta remind myself that I'm worthy of beautiful things
Just yesterday I was 17 and now I'm grown
One of the greatest that they've ever seen, now you know
