Numbers by Mugeni Elijah from Thohoyandou South Africa

verse

i fell from the sky like a missile
ndari boom in the dust ndisa wane thu
minute later i had to deal with some issues
oh no, ndi finances, ndi clothes, ndi love life
ndi house, ndi daddy is nomore
i feel so alone now
i got my brain, oh hey
i'm so broken but i think i should be planning now
i should plan ahead
role of father feagure is all that's waiting for me now
but i had to finish classes
to survive i had to get my self a real education
that's when i started learning 'bout green
first reason why i always mind my business
cause waiting for somebody's help is sickness
now everything i know i learned by myself yeah

hook
i built myself up brick by brick until
i became this big
when you see me shining
while passing by your streets
i made this star
never and nomore will they see me broke
i got numbers going up yeah
never and nomore will she tell me "no"
whe i tell her we should yeah

verse

when i look in the mirror i see my own hero
when i look in the mirror i see my own superman
here goes my numbers i made a hundred from zero
ya'll never saw my struggle, y'all don't know my pain
nono bebelwa mudini na nelwa nga shame
and misunderstood unga you're insane
i garantee you would not still be the sam
that's why i had to create you mugeni elijah
i made a man outta myself yea' uh
numbers numbers numbers
zwituku nga zwituku uya dale
yeah
numbers numbers numbers
go up go up oh numbers

hook
i built myself up brick by brick until
i became this big
when you see me shining
while passing by your streets
i made this star
never and nomore will they see me broke
i got numbers going up yeah
never and nomore will she tell me "no"
whe i tell her we should yeah
(hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' )
i built myself up brick by brick until
i became this big
when you see me shining
while passing by your streets
i made this star
never and nomore will they see me broke
i got numbers going up yeah
never and nomore will she tell me "no"
whe i tell her we should yeah
