Underneath the streetlight
Now, waiting for the shit to go down
Oh, no, there's gonna be a murder
Oh God, when the street go down
In africa everything broken
Ch'yeah boy, no money no friends
Just live to fight another day
At night the rats come out to play
In the trash, empty streets where rattys rolling thick as thieves
Take your money if you rich
Take your life and rape your bitch
10Pm - no body
In the streets just Yolandi and me night walking sipping wine
Feeling fine, killing time
Night life wild if you feel like fun, some reason didn't bring my gun
My tipsy, giggly and taking selfies, making up rhymes that made me wealthy
Sense the threat, from behind, we stop underneath the street light look past these 6 motherfuckers yep, 6 rattys rolling up on us
Underneath the streetlight, no, waiting for the shit to go down, oh, God
There's gunna be blood on the streets
So much blood on the streets girl
When the shit go down, oh, oh God
Fuck, we getting rolled on
Wait, don’t run, just hold on
Didn’t wanna run away into the dark
Six rattys rolled up on us hard, they stick a knife against my guts
They take my phone, who gives a fuck?
Take what you want, I keep calm
Some one ratty grabs Yolandi’s arm
‘Nother rat pull a gat, but it didn’t go blaow
Motherfucker ratty’s only pull a gat now
Yolandi starts to fucking kick and make me lose my fucking shit
I busted the motherfuckin’ rat with the gat
I kicked and hit and bit this guy
Stuck my finger in his eye
Took the ratty’s gun away
No bullets so the ratty’s run away
Set the ratty over there
He dragging my girl by the hair
She’s tryin' her best to get away
He punching my girl in the face
What the fucking fuck, then quick
I smashed a bottle on a brick
Watch a motherfucker like a wild animal
Blood, blood so much blood, oh, oh no, oh no, no
What did I just do, oh my God? Oh, Jesus fucking Christ
Blood, blood so much blood, oh, oh no, please forgive me
What did I just do, oh my God? I didn't mean to kill a man, oh no
Underneath the street light, oh
That's where the shit went down, oh, oh
Oh God, your mama gonna cry tonight, girl
When she hear about the shit that went down, oh, oh, father forgive me
In Africa everything broken
(In Africa everything broken)
Ch'yeah boy, no money no friends
(Ch'yeah boy, no money no friends)
Just live to fight another day
(Just live to fight another day)
At night the rats come out to play
(The rats come out to play)
In the trash, empty streets
(E-e-empty streets)
Where rattys rolling thick as thieves
(Th-th-th-th-th-thick as thieves)
Take your money fuck the rich
(F-f-fuck the rich)
Take your life and fuck your bitch
(F-f-f-f-fuck your bitch)
Everything broken
(Ev-ev-everything broken)
Ch-ch'yeah boy no money no friends
(Ch-ch'yeah boy no money no friends)
Just live to fight another day
(Just live to fight another day)
At night the rats come out to play
(At night the rats come out to play)
