[INTRO] (0:00 - 0:20)
Yeah...
Do you hear me, lady?
Even in the 012 (Pretoria), love still lives.
Pretoria is the world... but you are my world.
Listen.
[VERSE 1] (0:20 - 0:55)
I come from the streets, where it used to be dark and dangerous
Until I saw you, lady—you brought me the sun.
You used to see me on the corners, hustling for money
But the time I spend with you, that’s the real deal.
Ghetto king meets a queen, looking at the stars
You took me by the hand and pulled me out from behind the bars.
"Sepitori" is the language, we speak it with sweetness
You changed my life; you took me off the streets.
Check the clock, my heart is burning
Your love lights my way; I don’t need a knife to be tough anymore.
We’re holding onto moments, holding onto hugs
This is the 012, but you’re my "perfect ten," no middleman needed.
[CHORUS] (0:55 - 1:15)
Pretoria is love, a 012 state of mind
We live for loving each other, leaving the troubles behind.
This is the joy of Pretoria; when I’m with you, you build me up
We’re holding onto dreams, holding onto growth.
(012! Pretoria is love!)
(012! Pretoria is love!)
[VERSE 2] (1:15 - 1:50)
Checking the rearview, troubles are following us
But our bond is real, our love burns right through them.
From Atteridgeville to Mamelodi, all the way to Soshanguve
I want to shower you with flowers; we’ll step out looking posh.
The sneakers are clean, and the heart is pure
You are my medicine; you gave me the cure.
Don’t make a mistake, this is a "heart house" now
You alone are the one who makes me feel alive.
I’m a "Big Man" out there, but at home, I’m "Baby"
You understood me; you treated me like a lady should.
If they don’t know, let them ask those who do
Our love is the truth, in a place where not just anyone survives.
[CHORUS] (1:50 - 2:10)
Pretoria is love, a 012 state of mind
We live for loving each other, leaving the troubles behind.
This is the joy of Pretoria; when I’m with you, you build me up
We’re holding onto dreams, holding onto growth.
