Sandton Slow Poison

[Intro]
Yah
Soft life city
Sandton slow poison, baby

[Verse 1]
Pulled up at the lights, skyline too pretty
Uber outside, but we pose like it’s our Bentley
Lobola in the bank? Nah, we still on debit
But tonight, we gon’ act like we really said “made it”

Champagne on chill, section by the glass
Influencers everywhere, ring light in the bag
Shorty in designer that her ex still paid
Posting “self-made” but we know the game

My broer whisper, “Dog, this life ain’t free”
Bill looking louder than the VIP
But the DJ drop a banger, thoughts go mute
Log drum hit and we follow the flute

[Pre-Chorus]
We know it’s danger, we know it’s lies
We see the pressure behind the eyes
But for a moment we numb that noise
Trading our peace for borrowed joy

[Chorus]
Sandton slow poison (yeah)
Sweet life, bad choices
We keep dancing in the voices
Telling us to spend, no options

Oh, Sandton slow poison
Gold dreams, black oceans
If you feel the weight, just own it
Don’t lose your soul for the moment

[Post-Chorus / Chant]
Woza, woza, more life (more life)
Easy, easy, think twice (think twice)
Soft life nice but the price (the price)
Might cut deep like a knife

[Verse 2]
Bottle girl smiling, sparkles in the air
But the real rich ones sitting quiet over there
We loud in the corner, flexing rent money
Next month stress, but tonight so sunny

She say, “Take a pic, I need content quick”
Caption “God did” on a loan she picked
He say, “I’ll swipe, I can’t look cheap”
But his heart rate jumping when he barely eats

Still the groove so sick, can’t lie on that
Amapiano knocking like it own this flat
We caught in the middle, truth and vibe
Trying not to drown in the city’s pride

[Pre-Chorus]
We know it’s fragile, we know it’s show
We know healing doesn’t live in the glow
But for a minute we feel less broke
Dancing inside this designer smoke

[Chorus]
Sandton slow poison (yeah)
Sweet life, bad choices
We keep dancing in the voices
Telling us to chase that poison

Oh, Sandton slow poison
High heels, low caution
If you made it out, applaud it
If you’re still inside, be honest

[Hook – Easy Sing Along]
Ay-ay-ay, don’t lose your mind
Na-na-na, take your time
Ay-ay-ay, watch that sign
Slow poison in every line

Ay-ay-ay, know your worth
Na-na-na, not your purse
Ay-ay-ay, sing this verse
Soft life, but put God first

[Bridge]
If you’re flexing for the ‘Gram, ask why
If you’re drowning in the bills, don’t lie
If you hustle every day for real
You don’t need fake life to show your skill

Toast to the ones who are building slow
No sugar daddy, no hidden IOU
Soft life coming from your own two hands
That’s the only flex that really stands

[Beat Breakdown]
(Drums & logs only)
Hands up if you choose peace (ey)
Hands up if the stress must cease (ey)
Hands up for the real increase (ey)
More love, less cap, more ease

[Chorus – Final]
Sandton slow poison (yeah)
Sweet life, bad voices
Now we dancing in our choices
More purpose, less posing

Oh, Sandton slow poison
We see through the commotion
If you feel this in your conscience
Lift your heart up like an offering

[Outro]
Yah
If we groove, let it be real
No slow poison in the deal
Sandton nights, but a grounded feel
