Matonge Lullaby

On the first night you see matonge, you’ll be 15 minutes late

To step up with the program ‘n’ the back street parades

You’ll try to keep a low profile, albeit hard to maintain

Although it won’t do you justice, ‘t will be well worth the wait

You’ll be spoiling our view, trying to hit the perfect spot

‘N’ when you throw in your line, you’ll be the first one to get caught

Of course, words won’t come easy, for such a rational little thought

When on the first night you see matonge

We might as well call it luck

On the second night you see matonge, you’ll be 50 cents short

Of trusting on the same looks as the night before

You’ll wear your cheap little smile like some kinda wellfare cologne

Although it won’t do you justice, being that far from home

You’ll have high hopes in low places, however sobering the sight

You’ll be gradually mistaken for the high rollin’ kind

Of course you can’t play for keeps in this world of goodbyes

But after 2 nights in matonge

You can’t say we didn’t try

After 3 nights in matonge, you’ll have 2 options left

One change to get even ‘n’ one change to get blessed

We might still have our doubts, but no dilemma’s just yet

Cause we care to remember, however save to forget

Were you late on arrival or broke from the start?

Did we strike you as odd? Did we push you to hard?

Of course, heaven won’t come close to what’s promising by far

But you can count on matonge

To send its regards!

3 nights in matonge
