Abangani (feat. Emtee & Saudi)

I say I remember (I remember)
When I left there (I left there)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I say I remember mama (I remember)
When I left there (I left there)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway

There was no intelligence in me
And I was raised by my brothers
My mother said show me your friends
And I will show you your future

Those who were not friends
Should have thanked the creator
Because outside here
It's tough, I'm telling you, my brother
We walk with snakes
Snakes that call themselves brothers
I thank God for the family I have
I'm proud of what I have achieved
They saved me
They filled the tank
Let it be "E" (yeah! yeah!)

I say I remember (I remember)
When I left there (I left there)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I say I remember mama (I remember)
When I left there (I left there)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway

My mother told me not to trust friends
Where I grew up there is no opportunity
Just drugs and violence Avalon and Sun City
The workers are the only ones feeding their families
All my life I believed I would be nothing
When you become the one they treat you like a king
My mother said watch the company you keep
But if it wasn't for my friends
Where would Msotra be?
My demons made me a monster in the community
Right when I thought God had forgotten me
He didn't forget me
He gave (here) with me
If it wasn't for my friends
I would have been finished
Satan could've really really had his way with me
My mother said watch the company you keep
Today I'm glad that I didn't listen

I say I remember (I remember)
When I left there (I left there)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I say I remember mama (I remember)
When I left there (I left there)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway

I remember (I remember)
At home
There was no daycare
Me and my cousins used to play
I remember
On the mountains
There was no rain

One day, I'm gonna make it rain
I remember
I was killed by hunger
There was no food
You don't know the hunger pains
It wasn't easy
When I left there
It wasn't easy
But the Lord will make a way
