I remember the love in the first place
The curious tug when you go play
In a city full of guns and belief
Or the culture between how you walk and the role played
It's a line you were taught to be audacious
Look up, stand tall
Don't get all anxious
Keep up, speak up
Say what your aim is
Waterboy still learning what most say
I remember the neighbours and cold faces
In a building with stairs we could all stay in
Every knock on the door was a friend or a foe
Or a stranger who knocked on the wrong day
Oledi still new to the church ways
Still new to the rules but you heard of a school and for Lu
It was Pops who was gonna pay
Been like six years in the slow change
Big bro too young to be on his own
Bis sis, too young to be on our own
But we can't do much
Mama just moved up and it's still too rough to get on the phone
Two dads in the mix
One won't give a lick and the other I just miss when I'm alone
In the passage again just to hang with a friend
'Cause I lost my key thinking, "way to go"
Mama still came back livid, livid
Spoiled with a rod I'm timid, timid
Prayers in the room
Transition in it
Saying to myself I wish it didn't
Mama still came back livid, livid
Spoiled with a rod I'm timid, timid
Prayers in the room
Transition in it
Saying to myself I wish it didn't
Didn't, didn't hurt

Childhood friends
UMdu was the homie in the Heights back then
He, a twin, with a sister I liked back then
When I would say hi she would fight back then
Some would try that but she wanted white back then
UMdu had a Pops with a right back then
With a home in the city and a place by the coast
Girls who were giddy, he was liked back then
UFungayi was homie kinda shy I guess
Closer but living different lives back then
A loner, he comfy on his own I bet
A grown up living in his soul I sensed
UMinenhle was similar to bro instead
Both with no parents to grow with then
They both had grannies too grown and blessed
UMdu was the only with both in fact
Never noticed that
One Sunday
UMdu just had only his clothes to pack
His Pops said at four he'll be home to get
He said that at two, he'll be close to fetch
So don't forget
Got lost in calling up the homies for some options
South Beach at The Wheel was a top trend
No streaming, you had to go and watch it
Saw a movie that was longer than we all thought
Figures up for a taxi we all caught
No phones, making plans
We just all laughed
Till we got to the flat
Now it's all dark
His dad looking back
He's livid, livid
Right to a left
He's swinging, swinging
Ran for us all
He's tripping, tripping
Saying to myself I wish it didn't
Didn't, didn't hurt
