The Matador Lyrics by YoungstaCPT, Shaney Jay

Dreams Dont Pay Bills

2021

[Intro]
Huh
It's gonna be like a episode Crimes and Investigation
(Young Shaney Jay he the plug boy)
Yeah
[Verse 1]
We all die one day, no point in sulking now
You were cool before Covid, see what the result is now
The bloodhound picked up a fox scent on the hunting ground
Keep your fingers off from the glass, you can't touch the crown
I started back in high school, 5, 10, 20 rands
I knew a prostitute who would've killed you for a Fendi bag
Automatic weapons out the side of a mini van
Boyz n the Hood will have you running like Ricky ran
It's danger where we comе from, Nivea & Mystical
Naaiers coke linеs and then believe they invincible
Think of how your funeral will make your family miserable
'Cause you can die over a look but it's the principle
You talk about your feelings online, you do it virtually
Whatsapp groups spreading lies in your fraternities
I put the verses in on time, it's anniversaries
You talk about the G's to be kwaai, I know them personally
Woodstock, Salt River even in Observatory
They gonna plan out your assassination perfectly
Get you with your wife or with your children at the nursery
So don't die a hero rather leave that up to Hercules
There's a lot of things in this life that I had to overcome
Experimented with drugs but I was the sober one
'Cause one day you on top of the world like when Kobe jumped
The next day you swipe left and post it in the photo dump
[Chorus]
Dishonour is not an option rather chose death over it
On the block with robbers wearing masks 'cause they just covid it
Life is but a dream I never bought it but they sold you it
The revolution won't be televised but I told you it
I typed out my grievances but I didn't press send
Revenge on my enemies
Fell out with my best friends
Far ahead I came before the rooster and the hen's egg
So you know it's Y?Gen even when the trend ends
[Verse 2]
Always dropping gems, I would've made a bad jewel thief
Smiling with police is painful, I'd rather pull teeth
We have to get violent then they notice when the youth speak
Killing young rappers I didn't know it was Juneteenth
You paid two thousand rand for a carton of cigarettes
But when it comes to social commentary you got the biggest bek
You lose your innocence when you login in to the internet
I know what you gonna say next, it's like predictive text
I used to put my hard copies out and it didn't sell
So I started selling boem instead fuck a wishing well
Dreams don't pay bills unless you have a tinker bell
To free Palestine, I'm with the Capetonian infidel
Skarrel by voet, by train or the taxi
Charged to the maxi, I didn't need a battery
I budgeted my income and expenditures exactly
A smart man can drive a car sitting in the back seat
Life is a rocky road, I know I'm gonna struggle more
It's crazy how I'm wearing all the clothing that my uncle wore
He gave me the game according on what to hustle for
Zimzalabim with the work, call him Dumbledore
Used to want to sign with Nas, till I got the Mass Appeal
I laugh at these rapper deals because they on a hamster wheel
The world is mine Cheeko, I know how Tony Montana feel
You gonna die a sad man, poisoning your happy meal
[Chorus]
Dishonour is not an option rather chose death over it
On the block with robbers wearing masks 'cause they just covid it
Life is but a dream I never bought it but they sold you it
The revolution won't be televised but I told you it
I typed out my grievances but I didn't press send
Revenge on my enemies
Fell out with my best friends
Far ahead I came before the rooster and the hen's egg
So you know it's Y?Gen even when the trend ends
[Outro]
Did you see that?
So bloody?
Yeah, unlucky, that Matador was very good
It's much worse than [?]
Why?
The matador, he could kill the bull with one plunge of the blade unless he have to plunge that blade more than once
That makes the crowd very unhappy
You only see the bull suffer
No, no no they clearly care so very much about these animals
They respect these beasts, they want them to die with honour
It's ridiculous there's no honour in being killed by a man with a sword whether it's one plunge or... twenty
Your're wrong, your very wrong there's honour
And how would you know?
