Sgubu Under the Stars

[Intro]
Yebo, yebo
Sgubu under the stars tonight
Hearts up, hands up, we alright

[Verse 1]
Cold night, but the groove so warm
Sneakers on dust, but we dance like gold
Streetlights flicker on the corner store
But the moonlight brighter than the pain we wore

My dawg say, “Life hard, but we don’t tap out”
Another say, “Trust God, we gon’ map out”
Shorty with the smile got scars inside
Still moving her waist like she chose this life

[Pre-Chorus]
Every log drum hit like a heartbeat prayer
Every bassline saying, “You belong here”
Even with the worries that we still don’t share
We forget for a moment in the open air

[Chorus]
Sgubu under the stars (yeah-yeah)
Dancing with our battle scars
If you made it this far
You’re already a star

Oh, sgubu under the stars
No fake life, no fast cars
Just rhythm and hearts
Finding light in the dark

[Post-Chorus]
Haibo, move it, move it (ey)
Slow wine to the music (ey)
Hands high if you choose it
Peace in the groove, don’t lose it

[Verse 2]
Speaker on a crate, but the sound worldwide
From the kasi to the globe, this our pride
We don’t need champagne just to feel rich
Got love, got hope, that’s the real glitch

Little kids watching like, “One day, that’s me”
Future DJs, ballers, all prophecy
Old man nodding with a faded cap
Saying, “This beat sound like we taking it back”

[Pre-Chorus]
Every laugh, every shout, that’s a healing note
Every step saying things that we never wrote
We’ve been carrying loads that they never see
But tonight, heavy hearts getting therapy

[Chorus]
Sgubu under the stars (yeah-yeah)
Dancing with our battle scars
If you made it this far
You’re already a star

Oh, sgubu under the stars
No filters, just who we are
If you breathing tonight
You’re part of this choir

[Hook – Easy Sing Along]
Ay-ay-ay, we rise
Na-na-na, no lies
Ay-ay-ay, hold tight
Sgubu all through the night

Ay-ay-ay, we shine
Na-na-na, God’s time
Ay-ay-ay, one vibe
Under stars we survive

[Bridge]
If you’re tired of pretending, take a breath
This rhythm is a shield for what’s left
Let the sky be the roof to your dreams
Let the dust be the proof of your schemes

No jealousy here, we clap when you win
‘Cause we know how the struggle’s been sitting on skin
From Pretoria down to Jozi lights
This the soundtrack of our nights

[Beat Breakdown]
(Drums & claps)
Woza, woza, woza, hey
Move your worries away
Woza, woza, woza, hey
New hope on the way

[Chorus – Final]
Sgubu under the stars
Dancing with our battle scars
From the hood to the charts
This groove heal hearts

Oh, sgubu under the stars
Tell your soul it’s ours
If you made it through the dark
You’re already a star

[Outro]
Yebo, yebo, keep shining
Under the stars, still grinding
Sgubu till the sunrise finding
Better days aligning
