PRETTY STARS 03:07
Sho, I’m down for whatever I don’t really care about the weather I just wanna see you doing better Sho, it’s fine, it’s whatever I’m not tryna get us back together Okay shap, We don’t need to talk no more But you didn’t need to lock that door Fine, I’m the one who locked that door But I don’t understand if you’re mad, and if so, what for? Girl I heard it through the grapevine, we even beefing now After all the years we've been down Ain't no way, no how This bullshit can't be true But when things really started to change, I wasn’t next to you So out of sight, out of mind, okay, fine I thought I was okay, but okay, fine I kept my head buried in my deadlines Youngsta’s main line, things take time But I gave mine to you, you gave yours to me, those years spent with you Played a huge role in the man I came to be so, When they bring you up I just put aside that ego Give you all the flowers I should’ve gave you When we were still amigos We were never perfect, But it’s easy to separate this person from the girlfriend Till I began to see beneath the surface And I noticed that our moments had a purpose, and it’s probably best, that I don’t reverse it ‘Cause I’m learning, And I’m constantly unlearning Soon as it’s done hurting, I’ll work on the next version Then I’ll make sure that I’m the best for the next person So I think of when we were in Durban, And so I really hope All the pretty stars shine for you, my love All the pretty stars shine for you, my love All the pretty stars shine for you, my love And you get all that you dream of I hope all the pretty stars shine for you, my love I hope all the pretty stars shine for you, my love I hope all the pretty stars shine for you, my love And you get all that you dream of Sho, I’m down for whatever I don’t really care about the weather I just wanna see you doing better Sho, it’s fine, it’s whatever I’m not tryna get us back together I’m not gonna act like we were never I hope all the pretty stars shine for you, my love All the pretty stars shine for you, my love I hope all the pretty stars shine for you, my love And you get all that you dream of I hope all the pretty stars shine for you, my love All the pretty stars shine for you, my love I hope all the pretty stars shine for you, my love And you get all…

WHITEBOARDS 03:55
I just turned 25, incredibly grateful I’m still alive Considering the fact that I almost died, That other night Twice, if I can remember First time was in my ex’s ride Truck driver straight up ignored the light He saw the light But didn’t drive slow I saw the light But I didn’t die though A couple days before “Your Absolutely Right” I’mean, imagine, Is’bhanxa almost killed the magic But with all this drive I’m not surprised I almost died in traffic But I’m doing alright No more taking a drive at night on the passenger side Now that I’m driving in mine Thanks to graphic design A booking here and there Because I still haven’t made up my mind Whether I’m a Rapper, rhymer or graphic designer Or if it, even matters I haven’t to decided But if it Really did, so what if it’s only what I know? I mean those titles look good in your Instagram bio But also, I shouldn’t undermine the skillset Otherwise I’ll be losing out on multiple streams of income That haven’t even started pouring in yet Best foot forward, should’ve just been the preset I mean, both feet forward, this year, I need to leap it Like February 2020, on a weekend No? Mxm I just had to write it down Just to see Everything I know right now I repeated I just had to drop that L Just to win it Hasn’t been about myself For a minute I’m shaking it off now Feel like I’m ready for more now ‘Cause I just had to write it down not to quit it I keep it in my right now Don’t forget it, get it? (Everything’s about timing) Certain wins I don’t think I was ready for (Timing) Certain things only connected - I was 24 Timing Looking back at my mistakes and all the fumbled bags, They don’t really bother me like that There’s always plenty more Opportunities to secure the win Art first, then you focus on your positioning I thought about it for a minute now, I was just a kid I had to pack my bags and leave the place I was living in, and move to jozi Now I’m here, you can’t ignore me It took a couple years just to be sure that I know my story I just wanna tell it like it is, in all it’s glory I had to be the one to open that door for Sho Majozi Ooh, I’m such a gentleman You should give it up to me, 
I mean, you should give it up for me I know you see me working Got my hands dirty Wipe them on my dungaree Looking for that handshake Only if you fuck with me I’mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert So I can recognise them when we start discussing the profits I know it’s business, but I’m still a sensitive guy Before a piece of the pie We should probably discuss it over a braai I just had to write it down Just to see Everything I know right now I repeated I just had to drop that L Just to win it Hasn’t been about myself For a minute I’m shaking it off now Feel like I’m ready for more now ‘Cause I just had to write it down not to quit it I keep it in my right now Don’t forget it, get it?

Okay, okay! Jumping out the queue ‘cause we don’t play Brand new attitude to the old days I would rather do it my own way Yeah, yeah, yeah When I do, bet I damage it, and I Always knew it was that legit, but I Never knew what established meant Till I built me an establishment Now I’m feeling like… Never knew what established meant Till I built me an establishment Now I’m feeling like… Never knew what established meant Till I built me an establishment Now I’m feeling like… Never knew what established meant Till I built me an establishment Now I’m feeling like… Now I’m feeling like… Now I’m feeling like… Now I’m feeling like… Now I’m feeling like, ah!

Started this shit D to the I Y Till it got so big That I needed more hands And I don’t mind splitting a piece of my pie Had to make sure that the pie was so good When you take one bite, make you close your eyes Have to make sure that you know the vibes Gotta keep the homies incentivised No favours, please, prioritise Specially when I’ve given you the brief And you know the times. Otherwise I might as well do it by myself And you know I don’t mind, I can organise But if I didn’t have to, wouldn’t it be nice Tryna build a team, but that doesn’t happen overnight All we really need is a little bit of oversight Creativity, then we do it right Okay, okay!

Wow Lemme tell you something Something Lemme tell you something Something Lemme tell you something Come a little closer Sondela Come a little closer Sondela Come a little closer Sondela Lemme tell you some’ Lemme tell you something Lemme tell you something Lemme tell you something sweet I’ve been thinking ‘bout the future And I kind of saw you in it It was really vivid Even though we only met last week So you said you’re only here for a week I’m like “Oh well” Might as well your ass back to your hotel But I could come a long if you like Swear I won’t tell Maybe we could chill, we could schmoke If you roll well We’re sitting by your balcony I’m loving your vibe, your hospitality, You’re barefoot, so you’re relaxed, and so attractively I’m imagining your eyes, they’re rolling back for me I’m thinking ‘bout these peaches and that mangoes you could… You could offer me, I’m thirsty But that’s probably the cotton mouth. You noticed, but you act like you don’t know what I’m talking ‘bout You’re staring at my lips I see Let’s moisturise So I take the hint Then lean forward You close your eyes Now you’ve caught some feelings for ya boy Let me come around Make you have to put away the toys I wanna be responsible for all the noise Make you cancel all your gigs ‘Cause I made you lose your voice Baby let me be your DJ How does that sound? 
Let me put my microphone by your mouth We can throw a concert on the couch You hear the screams, and the claps But they’re obviously not from the crowd Wow Let me tell you something Baby, I love it When you do that thing Got me sprung And I love when When we huggin’ and touchin’ Baby, come a little closer Let me tell you something Baby, I love it When you do that thing Got me sprung And I love when When we huggin’ and touchin’ Baby, come a little closer Lemme say a lil some-some’ Sweet nums in your ear drum Resonate with a soft hum Good D make you love dumb I could use a little yum-yum Say my name, yeah, you welcome Why you so loud? Pass me the schmoke. Don't need a crowd. Come a lil close. Loving your tone. Mumble and moan Lower your voice. Don't make a noise... Swcheet, Skeet skeet... Playing our song on repeat Pelo yam skipped another beat (Yeah!) Swcheet, Skeet skeet... Playing our song on repeat Pelo yam skipped another beat Lemme say a lil some-some’ Let me tell you something Baby, I love it When you do that thing Got me sprung And I love when When we huggin’ and touchin’ Baby, come a little closer Let me tell you something Baby, I love it When you do that thing Got me sprung And I love when When we huggin’ and touchin’ Baby, come a little closer Yeah Baby you know just how How to touch me You turning all of my insides I said, baby, you know just how How to touch me You turning all of my insides upside-down And, baby, you know just how I said, baby, you know just how Upside-down And, baby, you know just how… Mind, body, soul lost in the sauce

about

SPIJØNGET (Chapter Three) is an EP by South African rapper and producer ByLwansta. Concluding the EP trilogy he began in 2019 with the release of SPIJØNGET (Chapter One), Chapter Three introduces ByLwansta at his most mature, using his eloquent storytelling ability to take listeners on a journey with a now more accomplished young man who has finally found balance bothin his life. ByLwansta muses on this new found balance in his life and career as an artist-entrepreneur as well as the end of the relationship that inspired Chapter One, bringing many of the topics explored in both the previous Chapters to a close. While the project is without a doubt a great conclusion to ByLwansta’s coming-of-age, love story, it begins a brand new Chapter for the rapper going into the new year.
