Lyrics
“Look, I was gonna go easy on you not to hurt your feelings”
– “Bheka, ngangizohamba kalula kuwe ukuze ngingalimazi imizwa yakho”
“But I’m only going to get this one chance” (Six minutes—, six minutes—)
– “Kodwa ngizothola leli thuba elilodwa kuphela” (imizuzu Eyisithupha, imizuzu eyisithupha)
“Something’s wrong, I can feel it” (Six minutes, Slim Shady, you’re on!)
– “Kukhona okungahambi kahle, ngiyakwazi ukukuzwa” (imizuzu Eyisithupha, Mthunzi Omncane, uvuliwe!)
“Just a feeling I’ve got, like something’s about to happen, but I don’t know what.
– “Nginomuzwa nje, njengokuthile okuzokwenzeka, kodwa angazi ukuthi yini.
If that means what I think it means, we’re in trouble, big trouble;
– Uma lokho kusho lokho engicabanga ukuthi kusho, sisenkingeni, inkinga enkulu;
And if he is as bananas as you say, I’m not taking any chances”
– Futhi uma enjengobhanana njengoba usho, angithathi amathuba”
“You are just what the doc ordered”
– “Wena nje lokho doc wayala”
I’m beginnin’ to feel like a Rap God, Rap God
– Ngiqala ukuzizwa Njengonkulunkulu We-Rap, Unkulunkulu We-Rap
All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod
– Bonke abantu bami kusukela phambili kuya emuva nod, emuva nod
Now, who thinks their arms are long enough to slap box, slap box?
– Manje, ubani ocabanga ukuthi izingalo zabo zinde ngokwanele ukuba zishaye ibhokisi, ishaye ibhokisi?
They said I rap like a robot, so call me Rap-bot
– Bathi ngidlala i-rap njengerobhothi, ngakho ngibize ngokuthi i-rap-bot
But for me to rap like a computer it must be in my genes
– Kodwa ukuze ngidlale i rap njengekhompyutha kumelwe ukuba isezakhiweni zami zofuzo
I got a laptop in my back pocket
– Ngithole i laptop ephaketheni lami elingemuva
My pen’ll go off when I half-cock it
– Ipeni lami lizoqhuma lapho ngiqala ukuqhuma
Got a fat knot from that rap profit
– Wathola ifindo elikhuluphele kuleyo nzuzo ye rap
Made a livin’ and a killin’ off it
– Waziphilisa futhi wabulala
Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office
– Kusukela Ngaleso Sikhathi Ubill Clinton wayesesehhovisi
With Monica Lewinsky feelin’ on his nutsack
– Nginomonica lewinsky ozizwa enqunu yakhe
I’m an MC still as honest
– Ngingu-MC namanje ngithembekile
But as rude and as indecent as all hell

This flippity dippity-hippity hip-hop
– Lokhu kuguquguquka kwe-dippity-hippity hip-hop

With this rappity brat, packin’ a MAC in the back of the Ac’
– Ngalesi brat rappity, ukupakisha ‘A MAC ngemuva Ac’
Backpack rap crap, yap-yap, yackety-yack
– I-backpack rap crap, i-yap-yap, i-yackety-yack
And at the exact same time, I attempt these lyrical acrobat stunts while I’m practicin’ that
– Futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngizama lezi zenzo zokudlala ama-acrobat ngenkathi ngiprakthiza lokho
I’ll still be able to break a motherfuckin’ table
– Ngisazokwazi ukuqhekeza itafula likamama
Over the back of a couple of faggots and crack it in half
– Ngemuva kwamafaggot ambalwa bese uyiqhekeza phakathi
Only realized it was ironic, I was signed to Aftermath after the fact
– Ngaqaphela ukuthi kwakuyinto ecasulayo, ngabhalisela i-Aftermath ngemva kweqiniso
How could I not blow? All I do is drop F-bombs
– Ngangingeke ngishaye kanjani? Konke engikwenzayo ukulahla Amabhomu E-F
Feel my wrath of attack
– Zizwe ulaka lwami lokuhlasela
Rappers are havin’ a rough time period, here’s a maxi pad

It’s actually disastrously bad for the wack
