Pretoria to Cape Town

Intro

(Mm-hmm)

It is the King

Stryker

Yeah

I give thanks for the life I live

Verse 1

The road felt so long and jagged (It was hard)

Making paint with these bare hands

Breathing in the heavy fumes

Zay the foreman treated me so bad (Everyday)

Him and that lady told a story

I was cast out from that slaveyard

Pre-Chorus

Mabopane streets felt like a maze

Hustling by the metal robots

Waiting for a change

Chorus

This is my life

My storybook my testimony

Jah saved me

He loved me

Yes he saved me

From the dirt up to the glory

From the pain to my family

This is my life

(My life my life)

Verse 2

Brother Patrick and the Pastor

Helped to put food on the table

Selling books at Marabastad

Trains from the West just to survive (Work so hard)

I walked from door to door

Walking until my feet were sore

Pre-Chorus

The city pulse is beating loud

Holding onto a thin promise

Moving through the crowd

Chorus

This is my life

My storybook my testimony

Jah saved me

He loved me

Yes he saved me

From the dirt up to the glory

From the pain to my family

This is my life

(My life my life)

Bridge

Coming from the paint dust

Resting in the coma

Waking to the light

Walking through the garden

Pretoria to Cape Town

Mic is in my hand now

Give thanks (Give thanks)

I give thanks (I give thanks)

Verse 3

Moved away to find the green fields

Hospitality gave me a brand new start

Three children and a Queen named Ellen

Kundai is my beating heart

It was a heavy struggle

But I am standing today

Chorus

This is my life

My storybook my testimony

Jah saved me

He loved me

Yes he saved me

From the dirt up to the glory

From the pain to my family

This is my life

(My life my life)

Outro

From the coma to the light

My storybook

Stryker

Yeah

Jah bless every one

My life

(My life)

Living my life now
