[Intro]

(Welcome-)

To the

S to the R to the 3

(Welcome to the planet)

Yeah

Sure

[Verse]

Ng’shay’ islolo for real for all the things that they denied us

S’yegroundin eksen syojimel’ ama-final

My ambitions as a rider

Ngiginq’ inyamazane ng’byel’ endlin’ with the title

Now we’re sitting in the diner nale-scheme that I will die for

Yimina la u-Messiah and it’s just me and my disciples

Fed’ Izinja ‘zo-decide-a how we finna split the piе up

Ikati be’lel’ ezik’ and I providеd, uh

It’s feeling like the scriptures in the Bible

Judas asimding’ uzos’ divide-a, uzos’ divide-a

Ngifundil’ I’m a survivor

EMjibha la mubhayiza impintshi zeyimbayi are quick to get beside ya

Vel’ iy’bra eyiningi mawune styl-a

Snininin’ ubon’ alusaphendulw’ ucingo when you dial up, damn, mmh

S'bashiyil’ istimela aba baie

Iqhekekil’ imiz ’ emining’ ngenxa yale virus and these women abas’bhay’ la

Just think before you wife her

Your queen isazoslaiza e-bank account’ini yakh’ maz’khipha boma-minus, oh no

Ngikhule kunzima nasekhaya but I was really just inspired

By the loyalty ka magriza to i-tyma

I been a womanizer, ngigijim’san’ ney’nsaiza

Really living by the code but a family and some kids is what I strive for

Ey’ning ziyang’ idolize’a

Nina nizam’ uku maiza that I’m GOATed

Truth is i’m a king and I’m an idol

Self esteem is even high, awungenzi niks maw’ng’criticize’a

The flow will give you the chills, usangay’feel-a naku spinal

Ntwana it’s the big planet

Elokishin is where you find us

‘Thi ng’bafak’ ne discipline sesqal’ uk’jwayelan’

To give 'em a reminder ngiy’lomjit’ oshange Midas touch

Ugibel’ i-beat-i nami obhuqwin’ is where you wind up, aw’bhek’

You told yourself you looking slick in some designer

Ub’hlama nom’ upheth’ u-cash akusiy’ int’ ongay’ disguise-a

Vicious as I write another lyric to inspire

And everytime I lay some bars i’m steady buildin' an empire

[Interlude]

Boph’ iphond’ abasaz’ laba basizwa ngendaba

Bazoma kancane (Yeah)

Snipers undercover

Magazine, magazine, Skhanda Gawd is on the cover

[Verse]

Been a long time, grindin'

Now the whole squad, shinin'

Buss down, diamonds

Skelem-a, angis’bhay’ min

Summer time, vibin'

Big shows, kuthayidil’

UMama ngek’ aswele lutho as long ulov’ esaphila

Nyawo zami thath’ uzung’bek’ ang’kakafiki la ngiya khona

Nyawo zami thath’ ung’bek’ ang’kakafiki la ngiya khona

Bazoma kancane

The weight of the planet is all on my shoulders

And the name of The Planet is all on my shoulders

Ngisay ensimini ngiyophanda le-cabbage

Imali phambili there’s nothing above it

Usuka ku-zero and jump to a hunnid

Subliminal dissin', you 'bout to get punished

Dlulil’ iminyaka nikhipha namanj’ an’kafiki ku-Skhanda Republic

WeTshol’ ubatshele eSony andizi unless they gon run up the budget (Woo)

Skhanda Patrizi, ntwana bagithi

Ngithol' ingane ngay'nikeza isbongo sakithi, isbongo sakithi, uh

Shawty from PE, 'cause I been in these streets

Ngilibe ngidlal' umandlwane ney'didi

That shit is beneath me, bazoma kancane

Nokuy'buza, nokuy'buza if they really really love me

Thwele kanzim Inhliziyo yami

Doesn't even feel the same

A lot to lose, a lot to gain

The price we payin' for the fame

Mangisekho lana just remember the name
