[Intro: Naledi Aphiwe]

Ooh, ooh

Oh, oh, oh-oh

Moyeni wam’


[Verse 1: Naledi Aphiwe]

Emoyeni wami ngikhululekile

Nhliziyo yami inethezekile

Konke okuhle nomusa kuyangilandela

Ngiyabonga ithuba ongiphe lona

Vul’indlela zam’


[Chorus: K.O]

First you get the money (Money), then you get the power (Power)

Then izinto zakho vaya ngo line (Eish)

Ekhaya ngizoba bona ngoDecember (Ooh yeah)

Nine to five eGoli kuse Mai Mai (Ayy)

Thokoza, top thokozile

As’bonge uMvelinqangi for the triumph (Thokoza)

Thokoza, top thokozile (Yeah-yeah)

Yeah you gotta laugh to keep from cryin’


[Verse 2: K.O]

Battle with the dеvil

Battle with the devil all my lifе, uphuk' uphondo ngimushayile

Every time I wrestle with the giants

It's somethin' like uDavid and Goliath

Big tunes, sishaya nge-spillion

Big views, ama-billion

Big mood, tsiki tski yo

Wouldn't walk a mile in my shoes if you feel the mood

Hey, why you mad at me?

Why the jealousy ulovha may'dlele mpilo

Flyest ever seen, nice pair of jeans

I get the cheese and my eye with Celine

Ngifun'uk' thokoza ngiphil' i-life

Come back swinging when you think it's chai

But no good deed goes unpenalized

You get idolized then you get villainized

Why amajimboz', ama-vayi

Wanna see me fall off, abo swine

Ngiyaba mayiz'

Gravity I defy, Matador

Bamb'inkunzi for the finance


[Chorus: K.O]

First you get the money, then you get the power

Then izinto zakho vaya ngo line (Eish)

Ekhaya ngizoba bona ngoDecember (Ooh yeah)

Nine to five eGoli kuse Mai Mai (Ayy)

Thokoza, top thokozile

As’bonge uMvelinqangi for the triumph

Thokoza, top thokozile (Yeah-yeah)

Yeah you gotta laugh to keep from cryin’


[Verse 3: Emtee]

Yeah

Walking amongst all of the hate (Hate)

But I know God is great (Great)

Yeah we all in a maze

But I’m just tryna ball with some greats (Ayy, ayy)

How I came up (Where)

Did a lot of favours, they would never pay up

I never gave up (Ayy)

Now I’m back on my way up, I got the flavour (Ayy)

Since the beginning, I been in it to win it

I believed in myself, from the start to the finish (Yeah)

I been around for a minute

And if you know me, I hold it down for the city (Yeah)

Ngiyathokoza, for everything I’ve been blessed with (Yeah, yeah)

Ngiyathokoza, I talk to Jah, he send me back a message (Yeah, yeah)


[Verse 4: 25K]

Had to get the money, hush and lay low

Who woulda thought that I would do a song with K.O

All the way from CapCity, I'm in J.O

El Chapo wako Pheli with the pesos, damn

Bafana ba bantlhoa

Remember back when I was trappin' ne ke nagana hore bang loyile

Fact, I was praying on my knees

I was praying for my niece

Dawgy, waiting for release, now he's back

Tshwara zaka o bonahala

Ke fokoditse tlala, face cloth yaGabana, voetsek

In my Gucci side bag, ke vepela lebetla ke yona death in designer, cash


[Chorus: K.O]

First you get the money, then you get the power

Then izinto zakho vaya ngo line (Eish)

Ekhaya ngizoba bona ngoDecember (Ooh yeah)

Nine to five eGoli kuse Mai Mai (Ayy)

Thokoza, top thokozile

As’bonge uMvelinqangi for the triumph

Thokoza, top thokozile (Yeah-yeah)

Yeah you gotta laugh to keep from cryin’
