**SEVEN**

*Intro — soft vocals*
Yebo… yebo…
Eish…
Mageba… Bruce… Duncan…
Yanelisa… AUX… Sizwe… Lebo…
Seven deep…
One time…

**[Chorus]**
Mageba, Bruce, Duncan
Yanelisa, AUX, Sizwe
Lebo, that's my people
Seven deep, we keep it peaceful

Ohh, these are my people
Through the highs and lows, we keep it equal
Years go by, but the love stays
Seven hearts, one story, always

**[Verse 1]**
Mageba got the energy,
Bruce keeps it cool
Duncan with the stories
Making everybody lose it

Yanelisa with the laughter
Changing up the mood
AUX got the melodies
Putting feelings in the groove

Sizwe with the brotherhood
Lebo by our side
Different personalities
But the same family vibe

We don't need a reason
We don't need a plan
One message in the group chat
Everybody says, "I'm coming, man"

**[Pre-Chorus]**
And if the money disappears
We'll still be laughing
If the years take us away
We'll still come running

'Cause real ones don't disappear
When the good times end
You can travel across the world
And still come back to your friends

**[Chorus]**
Mageba, Bruce, Duncan
Yanelisa, AUX, Sizwe
Lebo, that's my people
Seven deep, we keep it peaceful

Mageba, Bruce, Duncan
Yanelisa, AUX, Sizwe
Lebo, that's my people
More than friends — that's my family

**[Verse 2]**
Late-night conversations
Talking 'bout our dreams
One day we'll look back
At these crazy little scenes

No matter where we go
No matter what we gain
If one of us is winning
Everybody knows the name

From the jokes we can't explain
To the memories we keep
Some nights become forever
Some friendships run too deep

And when life gets serious
And the pressure gets real
I know I got six people
Who remind me how to feel

**[Bridge — stripped piano]**
AUX…
Mageba…
Bruce…
Duncan…

Yanelisa…
Sizwe…
Lebo…

*Seven deep…*

If the world changes
Let it change
If the road gets longer
We'll still walk the same

**[Final Chorus]**
Mageba, Bruce, Duncan
Yanelisa, AUX, Sizwe
Lebo, that's my people
Seven deep, we keep it peaceful

Mageba, Bruce, Duncan
Yanelisa, AUX, Sizwe
Lebo, that's my people
More than friends — that's my family

**[Outro]**
Yeah…
Seven deep…
No matter where we go…
No matter how much time passes…

Mageba…
Bruce…
Duncan…
Yanelisa…
AUX…
Sizwe…
Lebo…

**One story.
Seven names.
Forever.**
