About

I’m LAKAYCPT, an independent songwriter and recording artist from Cape Town, South Africa, and I’ve been writing original music since I was 13. With a catalogue of 30+ songs (mostly unreleased), I focus on relatable lyrics and storytelling—creating space for listeners to connect, reflect, and make the song mean something personal to them.

My writing spans Afrobeats, hip-hop, melodic rap, trap, and R&B, and I enjoy adapting my approach to different beats, moods, and musical directions. I’m especially drawn to listener-first songwriting—where the goal is more than just words on a track, it’s building an emotional direction that feels authentic and clear for the audience.

Yeah,
Come up from the bottom, had to watch it all fall,
Mama crying in the kitchen, I was only this tall,
Saw pain in her eyes, couldn’t do nothing at all,
Now she back after years, and I still feel small.

Little brother watching, gotta be the strong one now,
Tryna be the leader but they don’t understand how,
Heavy on my chest, can’t sleep, can’t calm down,
Asking for some help but no one really comes 'round.

Yeah, love got me trippin’, we both sick, both tired,
Say hurtful things when we hurt, yeah we both liars,
Say we done, say we finished, but we both wired,
To a love that we broke, but we both desire.

I just wanted respect, just wanted a ear,
Just wanted somebody to say I got you, I’m here",
Instead we go back and forth year after year,
Apologies on repeat but nobody hears.

But look,
Come up-gotta come up From the pain, from the mud, gotta come up,
Mama need help, little bro need love gotta come up
Can’t be that man that I sawgotta come up.

Come up from the trauma come up from the past
Learned that hurt people hurt people, but that don’t last,
If I want better, gotta be better gotta move fast
Break the cycle with my own hands make it last.

Yeah tired of sorry tired of the fight,
Tired of losing sleep in the middle of the night
If it’s love, let it heal, if not, let it die right,
But either way I’ma be aight ima be aight
