A song made by Mojalefa Magae
A song made by Mojalefa Magae
(Verse 1)
It started back in '96, down in Unit One
At Challenge’s Spot, where the journey begun
A kid with a stick and a fire inside
Stepping up to the table with nowhere to hide
That’s where the whispers turned into a roar
Where the name of Tiger was born on the floor.
From a hungry young player just learning the game
To a lethal competitor carving his name.
(Verse 2)
Then I moved to Paul and Phumla’s Tavern, a whole different test
Trading shots and competing with some of the best
The legend, Shakes, watched the cue ball fly
Bouncing off cushions, defying the eye
He saw the spin, the control, and the grace
And shouted out "Jejethe!" right there in the place.
Joined the Antique Pool Club, elite and profound
Solidified my status on that sacred ground.
(Chorus)
From the tables of the township to the lights on the stage
Every battle I fought just added a page
They know the name Tiger, they know how I stand
With a cue in my fingers and a plan in my hand
Building a legacy, table by table, frame after frame
Yeah, Moja-Homes Pool Culture is changing the game.
(Verse 3)
The years of dedication finally opened the door
In 2022, I stepped onto the Nationals floor
Proudly wearing the colors of the Free State province crew
Under the SA Blackball Federation, showing what I could do
Fought my way to the top, clinical and precise
Left the tournament holding the Silver Medalist prize.
That silver earned a ticket to the ultimate test:
An invitation to England to play with the world's best.
(Bridge)
But the journey didn’t stop at the trophies I won
It’s about passing the torch to the next rising son
No longer just a player chasing the white ball
I’m owning the tables, answering a higher call
Starting up the leagues, planting the seed
Giving the youth the platform they need.
(Chorus)
From the tables of the township to the lights on the stage
Every battle I fought just added a page
They know the name Tiger, they know how I stand
With a cue in my fingers and a plan in my hand
Building a legacy, table by table, frame after frame
Yeah, Moja-Homes Pool Culture is changing the game.
(Outro)
From Unit One in '96 to the global arena
The vision is clearer, the drive is much keener
This is for the future, the youth, and the town
We’re building a culture that won't let them down
Tiger, Jejethe—the legacy lives on.
Beyond the horizon, into a brand new dawn.
