November 12 Boy Lyrics - Singles - Tha Real U

[Intro] 

November 12 Boy 

November 12 Boy 

That's me... 

That's me... 

Well I am that boy 

I am that boy, I am that boy 

(Leggo...) 

[Verse 1] 

November 12 boy 

Yes that is me 

Born in Pretoria 

On a Friday of 1993 

Grew up in Sliverton 

Then moved back to Eersterust 

The house that was built 

By my father 

With all of his effort 

Ebenhaeser 

You see that as a cornerstone 

On the wall of that same house 

Which now 

My uncle Lukas 

Own 

Hans Coverdale Drive 

In Eersterust North 

Must be like Hollywood 

For some 

Even my cuzzie lives there now 

For me 

That's where it all began 

But honestly before this 

I had just one friend 

Where ever he is 

I know his blessed manye 

La Montagne 

In 2001 

Then Clapham 

I had fun with some homies 

And I learned a lot 

From other chomies 

But that was chopped up like polony 

Most cats were pretty phoney 

Never hanged with the rich 

And i guess my besties were probably lonely 

Now you know me 

Moved to the West Coast 

At the end of grade 9 

There was no wasting time 

Until I saw the sunshine 

Brighter than it's ever been 

Changed my life 

With all this peace and tranquillity 

(I am that boy... I am that boy...) 

A whole new mentality 

From the hood to the burb 

From coloured 

I guess I became white 

But race 

Doesn't define me 

I'm defined by Christ 

(but I am that boy, I am that boy) 

Even though I'm like misfit 

I'm still gon' fit in 

Made for a purpose 

And that's where I'm heading 

Skip a line 

Add the paragraph 

That God has written 

Understand that in the lord 

I'll find my job description 

Yessir you know that 

I'm a Christian 

(That's me... That's me...) 

[Verse 2] [Spoken Word] 

And wise words 

Are often spoken by the least 

But never change the most 

Those that always boast 

But i trust that the Lord's 

The greatest host 

The banquet that He makes 

I can't wait to part-take 

Now that I'm 20 years old 

I'm simply a product of grace 

Strengthen by faith 

And blessed with the possibility 

He paved 

God brings promise 

I guess that's the least i could say 

Was always a shy boy 

Now watching that fade away 

My confidence is in him 

Jeremiah 17 

Verse 7 

Praying for those I left 

May I meet thee in Heaven 

Shout-out to the brethren 

And much respect to the reverend 

This is me 

And I'm glad 

To me yal finally 

Relevant 

I won't mention my wrongs 

They're already forgotten 

Had every piece of condemnation 

Vaporised like Sodom 

I remember those tough times 

When no one could stop them 

When all I ever wanted 

Was some respect or attention 

Just like EM-K 

I'm a dreamer 

And like Big Twist 

I keep pushing 

Jesus ransomed me from 

Foolishness 

Yet the world be judging 

At one stage folks thought 

Bad of me 

Based on my colour 

Like every coloured guys 

A thug or robber 

But I'm a king in disguise 

Even though I ain't dress 

The part 

Will rarely see labels on me 

Cause those ain't my mark 

Jesus is my Adidas 

Those three stripes 

Made me a realist 

And Christ is realer today 

Then ever 

He helped me when i was the 

Illest 

Where do I go now? 

Honestly 

I don't know 

God has a plan 

And in that I plan to grow 

Follow 

Cause you reap 

Only what you sow 

I know 

You might feel down 

In anguish or sorrow 

I'm content with what I have 

Even if it's nothing 

And nah homie 

Trust me 

I ain't buffing 

The rest 

I'll probably borrow 

So now you know 

So here to the long road 

It's a long way to go 

Here's to the future 

That only god knows 

Here's to the future 

That only God knows
