Lyrics

Pressed a few buttons, cracked the code
 Now I'm out here
 Dropped outta school could'a been an accountant
 Or stock broker, picture me in the Gautrain
 Commuting nine to five I doubt that I'd survive
 Had to stay true to my bravado
 Set the mode and lock the vibe
 Now I'm the main even on your pay-per-view, undeniable
 Had them all waiting on the news about the title
 Thank the king, I don't make the rules nor the titles
 I just wear it, you see how I outmaneuvered all my rivals
 My arrival has a lot to do with the current state of the game
 Same way the state of the game might have to do with my arrival
 I'm cash Time, yithi aboMachushu balendawo
 Dropping jewels I might go viral
 I swear this typa shit should drop on vinyl
 I pray to God I'll live to see tomorrow
 I know my time on Earth is borrowed
 Taking shots I'm drinking out the bottle
 Came up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... yeah)
 Say What (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... yeah)
 Never knew I'd get this close
 Now I'm way too focused, can't deny me now
 Set up shop, let em know we back in business
 In vernac or English
 This is everything your favourite rapper isn't
 This is trespassing this is never had permission
 This is that grass this the reason you been itchin
 This is fresh gas bet you smell the fuel emissions
 Started as a test drive 'til I went and blew the engine
 These are religious thoughts dressed in euphemism
 If I had to tell it like it is
 Chances are you'd miss it
 Mama told me I'm a star since a young age
 I grew up somewhere on a farm e-?
 Ngical' isghela ngina-four but I was far from one of them
 Which probably explains why the boy only lasted one day
 Bathi lo kungcono abuyel' ecreche
 And this was back when I didn't know what to do with a chess
 But God had other plans which is why
 Few years later when I met K.O
 He went and gave me another chance
 I know, in matric I was top of my class
 Someone told me in order to grow you have to let go of the past
 I've seen em all tryna follow my path
 But they couldn't copy my style let alone borrow my craft
 I learnt the hard way ngisazam' ukba ukleva
 I was reaching for the stars they was way outta my grasp
 I was chasing my dreams thinking slow down or I'll crash
 Bathi kimi lomhlaba uyahlaba and lendlela inameva
 Lendlela inameva
 Bathi kimi lomhlaba uyahlaba and lendlela inameva
 Kodwa sophumelela
 Sophumelela
 Mpintsh'yam sophumelela
 Came up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... yeah)
 Say What (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... yeah
