Lyrics:
As a child, she would analyse lyrics
She would tear apart each word and turn it into a gimmick
She used to play with the melodies and beats and the words
She would come in singing things that no one had heard
As a child, she was always pretty bright
Never bitching with the girls or getting into fights
There was something in her head and there was something in her mind
There was something going around and there was something burning bright
This don't matter to me
Soon I'll be on TV
And I won't have to dream no more
This ain't got nothing on me
Soon I'll be VIP
I'll be making money, being a G, going properly
Teachers used to say, "what do you want to be?"
As soon as she says "singer", they all look at her blankly
Like darling, darling, you need to have a backup plan
Like what? She said. Working in Matalan?
Well, quite frankly, Miss
I've already applied with the other thousand applicants standing in the line but,
That ain't my calling, I'm tired of your warning cos' I won't be falling
So move over darling
This don't matter to me
Soon I'll be on TV
And I won't have to dream no more
This ain't got nothing on me
Soon I'll be VIP
I'll be making money, being a G, going properly
Now she's grown, she's all alone with
Two kids screaming on the phone is
Landlord calling for his rent but,
She's still stalking cos' she can't pay again and
Yes, she's going to court today
For the dress she stole away
It was for a big audition
Oh my, she's on a mission to show the teachers and the guys
She made something of her life
There's something in her head,
There's something in her mind,
There's something going around,
There's something burning bright
This don't matter to me
Soon I'll be on TV
And I won't have to dream no more
This ain't got nothing on me
Soon I'll be VIP
I'll be making money, being a G
But it don't come free

My fellow South Africans can we gather here and appreciate this amazing artist🌍❤️🇿🇦

It's so weird that she went to my school and her music teacher is now my music teacher and I find it very inspiring that no matter where you come from you can become something and succeed in life and it's just very inspiring
