Balcony Sessions in Soweto

[Intro]
Yhu, yhu
Balcony Sessions in Soweto
Turn it up, turn it up

[Tag]
It’s a balcony ting
Log drum knock, here we go

[Verse 1]
We on the third floor, speakers on max
Fairy lights hanging, cooler box stacked
Mama downstairs shouting, “Keep it low!”
But when the beat drop, everybody know

Gents by the railing, drip too clean
Girls in the kitchen, making magwinya scene
Neighbor from next block, pulling up too
“Yo, I heard the groove, had to pass through”

No guest list, only real ones allowed
No bad vibes when the sun go down
Soweto skyline, stars so lit
One USB and the whole hood fit

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need no club tonight
Got the city glowing right
If the cops drive by, just chill
We gon’ take it down, then raise it still

[Chorus]
Balcony sessions in Soweto (ey)
Log drum shaking every ghetto (ey)
Hands up high, move your waists slow
If you feel the vibe, let everybody know

Oh, balcony sessions in Soweto
Soft life dreams on a budget, let’s go
If you came with stress, leave it below
Up here it’s love, champagne, echo

[Post-Chorus / Chant]
Ha, ha, ha, ha (move)
Woza la, woza la (groove)
Sip-sip, two-step, nice
Piano make the pain feel light

[Verse 2]
Shorty say, “Play that De Mthuda type”
DJ smile, “Don’t worry, I got your vibe”
She dancing with a laugh and a healed-up heart
Every spin say, “Pain, we’re growing apart”

Oksalayo, rent due, but not tonight
We manifest blessings under streetlight
My broer in the corner talk future plans
“No more broke days, I got God and these hands”

Shots for the ones that we lost on the way
Toast for the ones that still finding their way
We turn trauma into dance, that’s code
Healing on a balcony, view of the road

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell the DJ, “Don’t stop now”
This the place, this the time, this the crowd
If you know that you’re destined to rise
Sing this hook like a war cry

[Chorus]
Balcony sessions in Soweto (ey)
Log drum shaking every ghetto (ey)
Hands up high, move your waists slow
If you feel the vibe, let everybody know

Oh, balcony sessions in Soweto
From Vilakazi Street to Orlando
If you came with love, let it show
Up here we shine, down there they know

[Hook – Easy Sing Along]
Ay-ay-ay, Soweto nights
Na-na-na, city lights
Ay-ay-ay, hold on tight
Balcony vibes till morning light

Ay-ay-ay, no fake life
Na-na-na, just good life
Ay-ay-ay, we alright
Piano hearts beating all night

[Bridge]
If you standing by the rail, put your phone lights up
For the dreams, for the team, for the glow, for the come-up
We ain’t where we wanna be yet, that’s fine
We already legendary in our own skyline

No jealousy, clap for your friend
If they win, that’s proof you can win again
From the ground floor pain to the top floor view
These balcony sessions, that’s living proof

[Beat Break / Call & Response]
“Where we at?” — SOWETO!
“Who we with?” — MY PEOPLE!
“What's the code?” — NO EGO!
“What's the vibe?” — PIANO!

[Chorus – Final]
Balcony sessions in Soweto (ey)
Log drum shaking every ghetto (ey)
Hands up high if you know
We the story they gon’ stream worldwide, let’s go

Oh, balcony sessions in Soweto
Soft life loading, check the ratio
If you feel this jam in your soul
Drop that stress, let the good times roll

[Outro]
Yhu, yhu, balcony ting
Soweto, let the night sing
If you hear this on your block
Just press play and let it rock
