My Background Story
A song made by Fabian Kwalela
Aweh, yeah
Just watching the sun rise over the hood
It’s the vibe, you know?
I remember days walking on these dusty streets
No fancy shoes, just the rhythm in my heart and feet
Growing up humble, looking at the city lights afar
Dreaming of the moment I’d be shining like a star
Everything I have, I built it from the ground up slow
Eish, the struggle was real but I had to let it go
Keep my head held high, walking with a steady pace
Building up my legacy all over this place
It’s my background, it’s the life I know
From the bottom up, watch how the story grow
Sharp sharp, we keep it real every single day
Living out my dream in a South African way
It’s my background, it’s the life I know
From the bottom up, watch how the story grow
Sharp sharp, we keep it real every single day
Living out my dream in a South African way
Used to catch the taxi just to get to where I’m going
Now the progress in my life is finally showing
People talk, but they don’t see the path I paved
Through the stormy weather, it’s the vision that I saved
Yebo, we hustle hard, never fold under the pressure
Every little memory is a hidden kind of treasure
Asambe, moving forward, never looking back at all
Standing on my own, yeah, I’m standing very tall
It’s my background, it’s the life I know
From the bottom up, watch how the story grow
Sharp sharp, we keep it real every single day
Living out my dream in a South African way
It’s my background, it’s the life I know
From the bottom up, watch how the story grow
Sharp sharp, we keep it real every single day
Living out my dream in a South African way
It wasn't always easy, had to find my own light
Kept my spirit burning through the middle of the night
Now the log drums hitting, and the bass is sitting deep
Promises I made, are the promises I keep
So when you see me winning, just know where I came from
Celebrating victories with the beat of the drum
It’s a long journey, man, but I’m enjoying every mile
Rocking with my people, yeah, we do it with a smile
Sho, we remain authentic, never changing for the fame
Putting respect on the background and the family name
We rise together, that’s the code we live by
Underneath the vastness of this golden southern sky
It’s my background, it’s the life I know
From the bottom up, watch how the story grow
Sharp sharp, we keep it real every single day
Living out my dream in a South African way
It’s my background, it’s the life I know
From the bottom up, watch how the story grow
Sharp sharp, we keep it real every single day
Living out my dream in a South African way
Yeah, it’s the background story
From the streets to the top, you know
Keep it real, keep it steady
Aweh, asambe
Yeah, we gone.
