Gave me the creeps

You know, pull a magic trick or some shit

Niggas done counted me out, I know the pain yok'bal' imali
This shit is like a sport, I let my chain ishay' Thuso Phala
Nobody believed in me ngeskhathi ngilwel' iphupho lam'
Put 24/7 in the lab, angizange ngaphumula
Came a long way, niggas had doubted, we can't chill with them
Angizi khathazi ngabo, I only stress 'bout making M's
I'm still with the same squad, I ain't worried 'bout making no friends
Know you'll get stepped on if you ever think 'bout taking a chance (Mabulala)

[Verse 3: Sjava]
I'm not a runaway slave, the label did recoup
So ungang'dleli mona when you see me in a coupe
Paid the cost to be the boss
Cannot just be a boss
For me to hop on a Porsche, had to hop off the porch
Vroom-vroom, that's the power of the horse
Used to slime ubsuku bonke 'til my voice hoarse
Ukuthi ubhlungu wonke loko came with a cost
Sacishe sadliwa ingwenya, uh, no Lacoste
Hit the stu' to save lives, we don't do this for ama-groupies
This is brotherhood, I don't know what a group is
Language yok'khutaza ikasi but we speak it fluent
We don't stutter, mawungay' start-a, ngeke uyimele
They talk about amaphutha ethu like yada-yada
I was naked and cold, now we covered in gold
Don't you push your love on me
Uthando ongaka that's beyond me, yada, huh
[Chorus: Emtee]
It's been a long time coming, yeah
I was on my own, stomach grumblin', yeah
Ain't no mercy in the jungle, yeah
You wanna eat, gotta hustle, yeah
I'm getting bougie, fuck being humble, yeah
Say we beefin', you the one runnin', yeah
And you can get it if you want it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
It was the wrong time, oh yeah (Oh, yeah)
It was the wrong time, ooh-ooh
