MADE IN UITENHAGE

Oh yeah... Uitenhage till I die baby
Oh, Are you ready for this
I'm gonna show you how I break it down now
That's right... Here we go...

Here we go Born and raised in a place called Uitenhage
Here we congregate till late as I educate
U- to the -T -to the- H called the Sound State
Sean Burke… east of SA is where I regulate
Now there's no debate we'll seal your fate
If you negate you know we'll just go on and create
Some more bass in your face so give up chase
'Cause there's a new MC sweepin' the place
From the "Gaat" to Rosedale I leave my musical trail
6230 is the code for my fan mail
Even if my tale ends in the city of gold
Joburg will never have my small town soul
I pledge allegiance to Uitenhage High till I die
You laid it down for me so I could reach for the sky
My oh my how I love this place
U10-a-G will always be the ace in my base, now

CHORUS

Now don't you go playa hate
'Cause I was made in Uitenhage
Don't you know I'm a heavyweight
'Cause I was made in Uitenhage
Will always be first one you rate
'Cause I was made in Uitenhage
I don't have an expiry date
'Cause I was made in Uitenhage

Welcome to the home of VW
And Goodyear is the plant where we can rubber you
The lifeblood of our town can be seen all around
Everybody has one VW in their pound
From Swallow Drive to Paterson to Ostrich to Cannon Streets
Everyone out here is a slave to my gangsta beat
Back in the day we used to hang out at Club Extacy
A cocktail of music and women was my heresy
Now you can park your lease car at Da Dome
Where you're guaranteed to not go home alone
You can choose between bass and foam
But keep checkin' you ride, you may lose your chrome
Those gangstas always wanna make deals
So be sure you put clamps on your mag wheels
So you can make out at the Jubilee Park fields
It used to be my second home with Westhill
My hometown will always have that appeal
UTH is the place where I can keep it real
Some will say I moved on but they're wrong
The proof is in the lyrics of this song

CHORUS
BRIDGE

Now I, I've walked a million miles
Inspired by your smiles
I, I've been through many trials with you by my side
Uitenhage till I die

If I could live my life over I would
But I won't ever wanna give up on my hood
I'll take Uitenhage with all the bad and the good
I used to walk all the way through Chestnut to Sneezewood
That's where I practiced all the time with my rap group
You'd find me hangin' out on Savalot's stoep
But never ever with the lazy slow boat troop
Rather freestylin' with a hip hop loop
How I wish that you could walk in my shoes
Then you would see how I've paid my dues
I had to leave to make good on my dreams
Now my life is lived in parallel streams
I won't be blinded by spotlight beams
I'll still give props to all hip hop teams
Livin' my anthem is what I choose
'Cause Perseverando Vincimus

CHORUS
