Welcome to the Mother City where we lounge all day
Mountain tops beaches lam it out all day
Where the city scapes city views keep on you delay
Long street night life got you all on the play
Good food good wines keep your tummy full to the sky
Shopping malls boutiques got your eyes oh me my
Getting bored take a shot left why not on the fly
Give the city blues a phat kiss goodbye
Gooi it plattelands klap it in the vineyards
Even see the big 5 if you play the right cards
Night times milky way got you all starred
Leave for home heart break got your heart all scarred
How awesome does my city sound
Foreigners in our playground
Locals still bound
When will it all come around
How awesome does our city sound
Foreigners in our playground
Locals still bound
When will it all come around
Welcome to the Mother City where the people are warm
Smiling and friendly how can this be the Cape of Storms
Were the ladies are reg men you have been warned
And the gents on point ladies a line form
From the ladies selling flowers on Adderly Street
To the bra shouting sukka in the summer heat
The sermon you receive when you slat Metrofail
And the guardtjie screaming when you strike Metrorail
How we move on the yard when the nommer slat a beat
And the Dish that is Golden where the dyte is all you can eat
My mense are the heart of the city
Without them it won't be as pretty
The rest of you ain't dirty
We bring the flavour it's nifty
How awesome does my city sound
Foreigners in our playground
Locals still bound
When will it all come around
How awesome does our city sound
Foreigners in our playground
Locals still bound
When will it all come around
These are the struggles of my people
Some have their hopes in the steeple
The rest in the moon and star
Keeping up with the Khumalo's ending under par
Coz our kids on drugs verstuk
Bullets your kop can ruk
That bra at the shop a 5bop he hou duk
Else word jy vas gedruk
Hoping for Lotto geluk
Efforts rendered feeble
Some struggle some some choose illegal
Economic freedom too far
Inflicting a scar
Politicians popping up with a blind eye
Taking our money not worried about you and I I
Saw the city works for you but it's a lie lie
All they want is a bigger piece of the pie pie
How awesome does my city sound
Foreigners in our playground
Locals still bound
When will it all come around
How awesome does our city sound
Foreigners in our playground
Locals still bound
When will it all come around
