lirik lagu chrisni - mr yang, the family man
[intro: chrisni]
freeman
[dedication: josiah baya]
(notre grand frère gabriel)
[verse 1: chrisni]
running after school, just to watch dbz
ain’t got no cable, i watched it on sabc 3
while the homies was outside with the meddies
sometimes they’d call me but i would close my curtains yeah
and turn the tv on
and watch some regular show
we got high and realized ain’t nothing regular though
and that was courtesy of the homie theo
before he disappeared, before finding nemo
i remember when i used to see fernando at his crib
he used to tell me”chris i see you’re always out here
where you live man?”
well i live right next door bro
see, the thing is i’m anti~social
now every sat~rday you find us playing football with joel
southern suburbs, number seven that’s my favourite number
yeah joel, that’s my brother
every other lifetime
couple n~ggas
we wouldn’t trade for every given number
for real
but…
[chorus: chrisni]
life just moves in circles
and i don’t know my purpose
but i will tell my story someday
but
life just moves in circles
and i don’t know my purpose
but i will tell my story someday
[verse 2: chrisni]
yeah, let’s take it back
before them high school days
the early competition
playing football every morning
we were sweating and smelling already
before the bell rang
i know why we had no girls in the gang fam
yeah
let’s take it back a couple years before
i met my dawg lehasa moloi
first day of school we kicking them bottles
and just like that we became best friends
in the streets of rose~town until the day ends
(til the day ends)
yeah
out and about
moving in and out of town
from turffontein to regent’s park ~ la roch~lle
and now we going back to rosi
i’m sick and tired of moving, i understand
my folks they ain’t got the cash
let’s run again
(mike ice, bana bayoki malili)
let’s run again
[verse 3: chrisni]
yeah
it was the time i lived in la roch~lle
i met my dawg emmanuel
he lived in a house right next to mr. yang
n~gga never spoke no english
but i understood him well
opened his little store in the hood
he was a family man
although i never saw his family, man
only pictures around his store
this n~gga was all alone
then it hit me, he’s only here to work and send it back
i hope his family knows that he’s doing the best he can
i only saw emmanuel’s dad after a couple years
he said”my dad’s been up in congo
trying to make some bread
i only see him for a while
before he leaves again
that’s the sacrifice you make if you’re a family man”

[chorus: chrisni]
but
life just moves in circles
and i don’t know my purpose
but i will tell my story someday
but
life just moves in circles
and i don’t know my purpose
but i will tell my story someday
[verse 4: chrisni]
yeah
i remember when my dad left
took me to the park while we were swinging
that’s when he told me his grand plan”i think i’m gonna leave for a while
take care of your mom
your brothers and your sister, my child
life is hard, especially for a n~gga like me
i finished school with good grades, i even got my degree”
but that’s besides the point
that is when i thought of mr. yang
i’ve seen this all before
this is where you reach the crossroads
and now you gotta go
seen it around and now it’s home
immigration from town to town and now the globe
the colonizers just found a party to go destroy
but the foreigners tryna find a place to call a home
home
[chorus: chrisni]
life just moves in circles
and i don’t know my purpose
but i will tell my story someday
but
life just moves in circles
and i don’t know my purpose
but i will tell my story someday
life just moves in circles
[outro: josiah baya]
si tu poursuis le soleil trop longtemps
même ton ombre va commencer à parler sur toi
soki olandeli moi mingi
ata elili na yo ekokóma koloba makambo na yo
