Verse 1
Little David
How you been what’s good?
I hope you been a good boy repping our hood/ Be good boy
You are the Ghetto envoy
You got a material girl for a mom now/ But it’s all good
She did all of us good
Came like a bee pollinated your Dream
Now you can blossom into your Dream
But always remember where you from B
You could’ve been a Ghetto hood rat like me
Walk around barefoot just like me
I look a little older because of bad food
Even junk food is expensive food
No id for a beer in the hood
One thing about us we show brotherhood
This is the realness in the gutter
From Phyzix to David an Open Letter
Chorus
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Verse 2
Social, Legal, Economical pressure
Got a boy like you living in the Ghetto
Let’s go/ let me walk you through how it go
Every five in the morning he’s in the Garden
He got to make sure the tomatoes are fresh
Coz these vegetables are paying the school fees
He goes in the kitchen for leftovers
No leftovers/ No breakfast
Then to the river he goes for a bath
If a crocodile sees him then it’s a blood bath
David! When you face Goliath
Take him down with a smile not wrath
Coz you’ve got David Beckam running you the new King David boy you shinning
But expect nothing on a silver platter
From Phyzix to David an Open Letter
Chorus
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Verse 3
Human Body parts are selling like hot cakes
Broke families are selling their kids
People out here don’t kill for addiction
People kill just to get a meal
Kids your age are stealing or begging
Business men dealing in exploiting
Selling a young soul to money-making
But you represent for the Street kids
From bundu bundu to being that kid
Whatever you do boy stay in school
Take these two and twos as pro tools
Never ever forget your Mother’s tongue
When they it’s dope you should say “Zili boo”
When they say hello you should say “Wawa”
If you meet a good girl she’s a “Mbeta”
From Phyzix to David an Open Letter
Chorus
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
Gona Mwana uleke kulira
