The Old Me Ft Richard Blake by Mugeni Elijah from Thohoyandou South Africa

[hook]
i miss the old me
i miss the old me
life is all about making moolah now
i can't go back to the one i was
ain't no turning back ain't no playin' 'round
pain grows when you are a man in the house
mama need' foods, mama need' clothes
and i'mma make she gets all of those
so now listen to my trade mark and
stay out of my way don't mess with trade
ndo fara na message
muhulu aw' thivhei ua fhira kha passage

[verse ¹]
ndi kha trade athi todi ni tshi i ruin
cuz i got people i look out for everyday and night
my life's getting more serious i gotta fight
nga pen na paper u tshidza from affright
paving the way making the future bright
ndi a tuvha murahu mara it's impossible u ndi humele
kha time when life was still easy ndi si busy
now mind wanga u process zwinzhi ndi a nga ndi sa vha dizzy
ndi tshi amba so it's because i got so many reasons
like bills to be paid, bellies to fed
thitshena tshifhinga tsha dzi games, hu vho spana brains
ndila nthihi fhedzi to free me from the chains
i'm walking, i'm on the journey
can't let nobody stop me huna maanda kha my message
ndo hangwa na awe we nda mu sia murahu

[verse ²]
i miss the one i was but i can't go back
too many issues
so much trouble got my heart off track
i've been working everyday but still the bills just stack
and i sit and wonder how long this will last
will i always be sing for change to get by
lord i'm ing for change i need you put your hand in my life
cause all i worry 'bout now is my destination, the dreams i'm chasing
worried about what people will think if i don't ever make it
gotta keep the pen to the pad won't look back
living in the moment cause i know it doesn't last
gotta get it while i got it don't you know
cause it'll pass me by if i don't show it man i know it
i'm sitting here in tattered clothing hoping they don't notice that i'm hopeless
working for the fam
they mean so much to me
gotta make the green
i wanna make em struggle free

i miss the old me
