Verse 1 
I’m coming from the Wes-Kaap, west coast 
It’s like Cape Town and Compton are step bro’s 
If you don’t understand our slang keep your bek closed 
I grew up around 2 Pac’s they were all on death row 
Yes my brasse ran from the police and the metro’s 
And if there’s a little shoot out do like John and get low 
No East side boys here bra the Western Cape is very colourful 
Witteboom and Wynberg I’m throwing up the W’s 
Home of the brave, living space of the innocent 
Gangs in LA and CA that’s no coincidence 
Stray bullets flying but the others are deliberate 
Tourists going home wishing that they never visited 
My people are indigenous and yes they are the last ones 
Cape coloured, cape malay that’s the way the classed us 
Even though they tried to break us down we too strong 
It’s nothing but a g thang 
And I’m the new Snoop Dogg 
Bad and bourgeois 
I don’t like kinnes that’s boujee 
You under the impression that I have the hele groupies 
But don’t worry now rather take a load off 
Mooi coloured kinnes that’s what the cape is known for 
And the junk part is that we were taught apartheid 
Now every ghetto youthie wants to be a scarface 
But if hip hop is the culture in which we partake 
Then we will build our people up until the point they can’t break 

Chorus 
I’m from the city where the city niggas die 
Where you from (where you from) 
Kaapstad (Kaapstad) 
I’m from the city where we struggle to survive 
Where you from (where you from) 
Kaapstad (Kaapstad) 
I’m from the city that the government divide 
Where you from (where you from) 
Kaapstad (Kaapstad) 
I’m from the city where all colours collide 
Where you from (where you from) 
Kaapstad (Kaapstad) 

To live and die in CA

Do you know what it takes
To live and die in CA

We pray every day
To live and die in CA

Verse 2
Back up in the Kaap like I never left
I was overseas you couldn’t reach me via sms
I came back, I check the map the compass said I’m heading west
And just to be born here
I know that I am very blessed
Every place has it pro’s and cons and obviously we got ours
But the mental slavery amongst coloureds must stop now
I be doing everything and yet it’s like they’re not proud
I’m always in the line of fire always getting shot down
Look at how far I came by spitting these raw poems
Detailing the battlefield my dairy is a warzone
DMX told me that it’s dark there and hell is hot
The funny thing is Kaapstad has its own melting pot
Smokkel house for the druggie let’s call it the candy shop
Upper class families tennis courts and they have a yacht
What?
No wonder my brasse kicked down doors
Just look at the place that they were born
Yoh!

Chorus
I’m from the city where the city niggas die
Where you from (where you from)
Kaapstad (Kaapstad)
I’m from the city where we struggle to survive
Where you from (where you from)
Kaapstad (Kaapstad)
I’m from the city that the government divide
Where you from (where you from)
Kaapstad (Kaapstad)
I’m from the city where all colours collide
Where you from (where you from)
Kaapstad (Kaapstad)

To live and die in CA
To live and die in CA
Do you know what it takes
To live and die in CA
To live and die in CA
We pray every day
To live and die in CA
To live and die in CA
Do you know what it takes
To live and die in CA
To live and die in CA
Pray every day
To live and die
To live and die in CA

To live and die in CA
We pray every day
To live and die
