Funny How - ByLwansta, SAIDA

You thought about it for a minute now

It’s funny how

What goes around will always come back around

And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it’s got

you wishing that you never made a… sound

You thought about it for a minute now

It’s funny how

And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it’s got

you wishing that you never made a… sound

This is the story of an emotional black mail

From Kokstad, born in a world designed to make blacks fail

But he was never the blackest of these boys

Nor did he give single motherfuck if he was considered a cheese boy

In a pro-black, pro-cultural, Xhosa society

«Anxiety was all that was always crawling inside of me!»

Aside from that

If he didn’t decide to rap

He’d probably find his ass

In the back of a van

As another motherfucking stat

But as the story goes

Lwansta was just a kid

Lwansta wouldn’t give a shit

Lwansta was not a dick

Before he came to Durban, whenever these other kids

Were sneaking out to a party

It was Lwansta who they said they were with

Yeah I was that guy, I was even the token black guy

I was friends with everybody, yeah ntwana man I was that guy

But I had a few friends with whom that I could confide

But I could never share the shit I was truly feeling inside

So I started losing my mind

It’s like somebody inserted a fucking DVD of my life, proceeding to press on

rewind, a thousand times

Until it seemed that all that I internalized had come to life

And for the first time, I finally started to realize

I’m kind of broken

If I had spoken about it, maybe put it out in the open

While it was happening, I wouldn’t be choking

I wouldn’t be joking 24/7 on some clown shit

I came to Durban and thought I lost it but man I found it fuck"

It’s funny how

What goes around will always come back around

And when it comes around, it always knocks you to the ground and then it’s got

you wishing that you never made a… sound

As we’ve established intwana is far away from home

Often surrounded by people he doesn’t even know

Although it’s vital for homie to learn these lesson

This process it isn’t easy it’s also party depressing

'cause it’s hard to ever decide

'cause you’re always just second guessing, and

Lwansta was dick, he was never taking suggestions man

«It's crazy in this world that’s so cold, the older I grow

The colder I become and now it’s starting to snow, I mean show, I mean,

it’s obvious I changed a little bit

I’m not as optimistic as I was as a little kid

All these fucks that I have to give

Are just fractions of what they use to be

Lately I’ve been losing me

It’s crazy 'cause I’m starting to like it, it’s who I choose to be,

who I’d rather be, it doesn’t bother me

That I’m not as popular 'cause of honesty»

But if you just, look into his eyes, it isn’t hard to see

Despite the burning bushes

And frequent attempts to part the sea

That as the story goes

Lwansta was just a kid

Lwansta would give a shit

Lwansta was not a dick

And since he’s been in Durban whenever these other kids going out to a party it

was Lwansta who they’d wanna be with

So things have changed

But they have definitely stayed the same

I’m this city I might as well just play this fucking game

And put my sanity up on the table like its up for grabs

But if I lose it?

Man I’ll probably never get it back
