Tuks – Ticket To Jozi

[Intro: Tuks Senganga & Thembisile]
Nah nah who’s got my ticket to the midnight train to Jozi
To Joi, check Boss ke fa keile
He’s leaving, he’s leaving
He’s… he’s… he’s… he’s leaving

[Verse 1]
Ga se phoso go tswa ka makgoro, phoso ke go latlhana
Maru le fa a ka thiba ga gore e tla na (Pula)
Now show love (Show love)
Fa o pallwa se ka batla se ka bona
Se ka gana go fela se ka tlhola
Tsholofelo ya gore dikgosi di tla kgona
Le ga e utlwa medumo, tsatsi fa le tlhaba lerumo
Botlhale ba teng dipuo fa o ka se lale, my being ke bodulo
Bible e lepile gore tsotlhe ka bongwe, ka bongwe di tla phutlama dipuso
Now show love (Show love)
Rre o santse a ipatlisisa, re akgisana pika
Phatlalala ga mophato, bitsa dira gore dika
Diheleng le ya ikisa, ka mollo ra iphisa
Mashwe re a hupe ka lerama, siphiri sa go ipatika, yeah
Now show love (Show love)
‘Cause yame e bodulo
Nnyele tlhako tsela ke e fuduwe ke ile

[Chorus: Thembisile & Tuks Senganga]
He’s leaving (Leaving)
Kea tsamaya
Yeah, ke fa keile (Ke ile)
On that midnight train to Jozi
On that midnight train to Jozi
Sentebale, ke ya go batla matlhale
He said he’s going back Kea e phaphata
Going back tonight
Ke dikenele, Jozi, Jozi, Jozi, Jozi
To a simpler place and time
Oh yes, he is Sentebale
He’s leaving

[Verse 2]
Ghetto Ruff to spread my wings
Only one shot at life
I’ll be damned if I lived mine like a candle in the wind
Zu 7 maz’ phelele, so what you want bling?
Show love we all got blood lines of kings and queens
Show love slave driver, artist, grave digger
Show love bade lami
Nuff respect I never forget where home is
‘Cause it’s still ikhaya lami
Now show love (Show love)
Ey, now hold up
Where the fathers and to son bring my world to an end
Reminiscing of Da Vinci code (Jack)
‘Cause I’m living in the movie called The Jackal (Black)
You getting all too tight please let go yeah
Cruel how the people ba tsewa ja ka dibari
But cruel how the people latla la bone letsatsi
Le juta for a (While)
Kutsa for my (Life)
Gura for a (Dime)
Really not worth my time

[Chorus: Thembisile & Tuks Senganga]
He’s leaving (Leaving)
Kea tsamaya
Yeah, ke fa keile (Ke ile)
On that midnight train to Jozi
On that midnight train to Jozi
Sentebale, ke ya go batla matlhale
He said he’s going back Kea e phaphata
Going back tonight
Ke dikenele, Jozi, Jozi, Jozi, Jozi
To a simpler place and time
Oh yes, he is Sentebale
He’s leaving

[Verse 3]
I call the game stickup
Live by the code of the streets
Must be where [?] learn the technique
Reach for your peak
Rip from the soil where you planted your seeds
Can’t stop the clock, I got no time to weep
Fede, I feel the struggle keeps you on your feet
And hunger to be free keeps you on the edge of your seat
We can all relate to the 27 years, the Sharpville’s, ’76
Say yes (Yes)
Where mothers shed tears
Many stuck around to live in fear
Many hung around that ain’t here
Many changes but it remains the same for people down stairs
Real talk is know what your street cred is
Give back what you got is not compared to how people feel
Show love still
Black got his land back but it’s hard to build
But it’s hard to build
Make way, I’m about to go

[Chorus: Thembisile & Tuks Senganga]
He’s leaving (Leaving)
Summer jam, ke fa ke ile (Ke ile)
On that midnight train to Jozi (On that midnight train to Jozi)
Sentebale, ke ya go batla matlhale
He said he’s going back Kea e phaphata
Going back tonight
Ke dikenele, Jozi, Jozi, Jozi, Jozi
To a simpler place and time
Oh yes, he is Sentebale
He’s leaving
