| How bad you are I can’t describe it
|
| Whisper song on candy skies
|
| Mellisa, a hipster, her kissers, her dimples
|
| She had wonderful windows
|
| Maka crossa the road cause ingozi
|
| U’Mellisa ingolizi
|
| Gabriella send messages saying she buy iskelem
|
| Bought a co-signers sheet
|
| Said you and I should be a we
|
| But she did not know me and I didn’t know she (wowzers)
|
| If she let me I would never clown her
|
| For you I would put s’dom-jon down
|
| Mellisa ask me where I am from (Senaoane Navaron)
|
| Thought she would judge Soweto so I said the North (Ngay'jutha lengani)
|
| Looked at me as if I am proposing an oath
|
| Could she see the lies in my throat
|
| Or does she only rock with the boys who came from ekasi and all
|
| Or maybe both
|
| Mellisa had the pink high tops brand new
|
| A piercing on her tongue and her pink spot too
|
| See all I did was lie when all she wanted was the truth
|
| Pretended I was North when I should’ve just been hood
|
| Black boy say kasi
|
| White boy say hood
|
| Black girl say kasi
|
| White girl say hood
|
| Mawuphuma ekasi, noma ungakaze, noma ungalazi nyakaza

|
| White folk say hood
|
| I need you to know
|
| It be so hard for me to show
|
| I feel like Nelson its like mama boppin for dope
|
| Father touching little girls
|
| Yeah I feel ashamed that I felt ashamed
|
| Sometimes when I cook codein
|
| In this whole entire thing
|
| Outcast, reject, low class, no swag
|
| But she didn’t mind that I
|
| Was broke, all she minded were lies
|
| Muhlambe I should’ve told u’Mellisa daai dag

|
| The really is no in between, I can try but still can’t imagine
|
| Imagine I told her those things
|
| What would it have changed, the pain
|
| Made me as hood as can be
|
| This proud Sowetan that you see
|
| Sengiphanda indode efile cause Mellis'
|

|
| The wrong way, yeah
|
| I ain’t never went right, never left my demons lonely that’s a dream
|
| My only’est one
|
| So many trips e Moroka
|
| Stole everything under the sun for her
|
| So she can say me I am the one for
|
| That my baby or atleast what I thought of her
|
| Ooooh I was South side, she was North
|
| And you said you will be down till it’s over
|
| I was from e’sgogweni by the corner
|
| Her apartment paid for by her father
|
| Mansion e’Winchester
|
| Did I mention, when mansions were mentioned by friends and our classmates
|
| The last thing I’d mentioned
|
| Imagine me leaving the township and stacking me up a few thousands
|
| Let alone imagine me in a mansion or even conventional family
|
| I am likely quite lucky even though
|
| She ain’t ever ever holding me down, no
|
| So many times I tried
|
| I guess I been trying too hard
|
| I guess I was born to be dawg
|
| Dolphin (Saudi) the morphine must’ve been in afina, I am a fiend
|
| Mellisa must have been Gwedish Ntashe in my blue ministry
|
| Broke but I still tivoli’d
|
| So devoted to her I’d catch a body for her anybody
|
| Jesu baba ngicela uxolo
|
| So many times sent to SANCA
|
| Stole so many thou’s from my uncle
|
| Just so she can say me I am the one for
|
| And it’s because I didn’t grew up in a bando, I grew up a bando
|
| That’s why I am cold even in December
|
| Black out I stayed lit as candle
|
| Ama groot man wami ain’t never fucked nama vandal then so
|
| Us getting money was dangerous
|
| But I was too caught up in the angel dust
|
| I’d turn anyone into angel dust
|
| If ever you would ever try gaming her
|
| Mellisa made me wanna turn her into
|
| Mellisa baby mama, Mellisa boo
|
| Mellisa pink she was so beautiful
|
| That Mellisa she must have been Lucifer |
