about

I wrote this track in 2011, either in Jozi or in Cape Town somewhere on the timeline where I was moving to Cape Town or had been here a few months, I can't remember, it's all a bit blurry.. Anyway, this song was written about all the late nights staying up with one of my band mates back in the bad old days. It was 2010, world cup season, I was paying my rent by tutoring at WITS but we'd closed for a month for world cup and I had no income.. So, I found myself working in the porn industry, he was a photographer, I was his assistant. We would spend all day in the brothels of Johannesburg, taking photos of sex workers for a popular online escort agency. The day would start with a line of kat and a drive to the drug dealer, kat is an amphetamine - like coke, but worse, we'd the proceed to the brothels, taking lines all day. We'd end up back at my band mates place - me editing and uploading the photographs (my first job in the graphic design industry), him jamming guitar, rearranging the house, fiddling. We'd polish a bottle of whisky between the two of us, stay up the rest of the night painting, jamming, writing songs, buying more drugs. The whole scene was drugs back then, I had to escape it..

lyrics

Every day Im hustling
Just a little bit harder
Every day the world seems to spin
Just a little bit faster
Living in the land of the business man
Jozi my world class city
Guys I love you but I gotto run
ZilleVille is calling me
Coz Late nights travelling white lines
They only torture me
They only torture me
Living in this city are the people I call friends
There from the start they'll be there
Guys I love you but I gotto be true
I really miss you
But late nights travelling white lines
They only torture me
They only torture me
We used to stay up all night
Paint, drink whisky, laugh and sing
Drive the drive to the guy with the stuff
Take away the pain of the day
But then the morning would come
So everyday Im hustling
just a little bit harder
And every day the world seems to spin
Just a little bit faster
Living in the land of the business man
