Lyrics

[Intro: Cassper Nyovest]
(Oh I can feel it)
My heart’s heavy right now
(Oh I can feel it)
That’s why I gotta, express myself the only way I know how
(Oh I can feel-)

[Verse 1: Cassper Nyovest]
Yeah
This is the side that I don’t share much
The side where success becomes handcuffs
This why we a sad bunch
How could we say we never had nothin’ when we had love?
We livin’ through Instagram pictures and videos
A filtered reality is beautiful (Uh)
They even got our sisters get mad for material
They give blood and sweat for botshelo bo (Oh I can feel-)
I’ve done enough, I have it all
But not everything but everything I prayed for
And even if, it ain’t workin’ out
I know God is still good so we stay strong (Oh I can feel-)
No more external validation that I need
‘Cause they can’t monetise all this air that I breath
So it don’t matter if I’m stuck or I elevate
Every day’s a gift so we celebrate (Uh)

[Chorus: Cassper Nyovest]
(Oh I can feel it)
Yeah, this for my sisters on the grind workin’ two jobs
This for homies on the corner sellin’ loose draws
I know you tryna stay alive, I salute y’all
(Oh I can feel it)
Yeah, this for the ones who feel lost in this cold world
The devil tryna make you feel like it won’t work
Just keep the fire burnin’ while we soul search

[Verse 2: Cassper Nyovest]
Some days I feel strong and complete
Some days it gets heavy like my soul is obese
So how do you approach all of these?
You tell yourself that you worth gold or unique
It’s not over for me
There’s still a lot of growth I believe
I survived all over with ease
Still I stand with black eyes and a couple of war scars
Dubs over Ls on the score card
Nobody in this world that’s designed like me
A B-L-A-C-K K-I-N-G
Man I been through the gutter, I came out harder
One thing life, botshelo ba batla plaka
Le ha go ka nna thata, le di plane di pala
Nkane ya bo ngwana’ka
Motho a shota zaka
There’s no one like you
This is my truth
I wouldn’t change a thing about me even if I could

[Chorus: Cassper Nyovest]
(Oh I can feel it)
Yeah, this for my sisters on the grind workin’ two jobs
This for homies on the corner sellin’ loose draws
I know you tryna stay alive, I salute y’all (I salute y’all)
(Oh I can feel it)
Yeah, this for the ones who feel lost in this cold world
The devil tryna make you feel like it won’t work
Just keep the fire burnin’ while we soul search

[Bridge: Cassper Nyovest]
(Yeah)
Keep the fire burnin’ while we soul search
Keep the fire burnin’ while we soul search
Keep the fire-
Keep the fire burnin’ while we soul search
I got you, I feel you

[Chorus: Cassper Nyovest]
(Oh I can feel it) (Uh)
Yeah, this for my sisters on the grind workin’ two jobs
This for homies on the corner sellin’ loose draws
I know you tryna stay alive, I salute y’all (I salute y’all)
(Oh I can feel it)
Yeah, this for the ones who feel lost in this cold world
The devil tryna make you feel like it won’t work
Just keep the fire burnin’ while we soul search (Search)
(Oh I can feel it)
Yeah, this for my sisters on the grind workin’two jobs
This for homies on the corner sellin’ loose draws
I know you tryna stay alive, I salute y’all (I salute y’all)
Yeah, this for the ones who feel lost in this cold world
The devil tryna make you feel like it won’t work
Just keep the fire burnin’ while we soul search

[Outro: Cassper Nyovest]
