Thank You – Illythehost Lyrics

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Yo

Ok

Some people just don't know

So I think it's best I tell 'em

Yeah

My name is Illy

And my passion for hip hop is kinda silly

Came to the city

With nothing but hustle embedded in me

Won awards, national tours, need I mention some more

Before I spit game

Let me digress

Tell you my real name

Karabo Shongwe

Ntwana Limpopo ka Gauteng

Ha fela ntse ke phela culture yona entsele teng

People don't know this

Mara ke sile ngwana lapeng

But that's some baby mama drama I won't talk about

At least I get to see my kid

Every then and now

Studied marketing

We was dead broke

So I dropped out

Had to find a different route

9 to 5 at a warehouse

Why am I still alive

I lost people I care about

Pops died in 2010 with questions he ain't answer

My sister, 15 years later because of cancer

Before that

I used to account

I worked in finance

Then hip hop happened

It graciously fell in my hands

Hip hop live SA

That's my first baby

Started the movement with my homies

But shit got a lil crazy

So I had to kill it

That never broke down my spirit

Worked with Proverb and Ginger Trill

Way before the mainstream

Every day I woke up

Praying for the same dream

Kenna a tlisitseng se'nigga kara Limpopo

Give me credit

Still won't be mad if I don't get

I put niggas on plenty niggas on

Thank God for hip hop

I'm rewinding the same song

Started working at hype and knew this is where I belong

Wrote articles, put yo' favorite rappers on front covers

Even crossed the border

Looking for a Swazi lover

That's kinda crazy, ain't it

Thank God for Hip Hop

I can say I made it

Doing what I love

Not everyone gets fortunate

I can tell if you authentic or you forcing it

Over 6 foot and I stand with my chest up

I met yo favorite rapper

Before you thought he was next up

I diligently made due with what I was given

Back at home, they still wonder what I do for a living

It's kinda

It's kinda crazy if you think about it

Good Raps Over A Cup Of Coffee

Yes sir
