Lyrics
Okay, okay, yeah
– Kulungile, kulungile, yebo
Lennox where the brown boys at
– Ulennox lapho abafana abansundu bekhona
I can’t go over there
– Angikwazi ukuya lapho
Del Aire where the white boys at
– Del Aire lapho abafana abamhlophe
I don’t live over there
– Angihlali lapho
Dody, where the dope boys at?
– Dody, lapho abafana bezidakamizwa bekhona?
I won’t go over there
– Ngeke ngiye lapho
Unless I’m tryna get pressed up, like hair
– Ngaphandle uma ngingutryna cindezela up, like izinwele
White tees, Nike Air is the daily atear, or attire, not mine
– Ama-tees amhlophe, Umoya We-nike yi-atear yansuku zonke, noma izingubo, hhayi ezami
So they just might stare if I’m there
– Ngakho bangase bagqolozele uma ngikhona
Walk by in the pink ice Airs
– Ukuhamba Ngeqhwa elibomvana
What size? Not mine
– Yisiphi isayizi? Hhayi eyami
Wouldn’t really be a fair fight there, pipe down
– Bekungeke kube ukulwa okulungile lapho, pipe down
Not scared, dark blue, dark red
– Ungesabi, luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Don’t give a fuck there, might die
– Unganikeli i-fuck lapho, ungase ufe
Might dare over what you’d wear or won’t
– Ungase ube nesibindi ngalokho ongakugqoka noma ongeke ukwazi ukukwenza
Where niggas from, can’t breathe, low air
– Lapho ama-nigga evela khona, engakwazi ukuphefumula, umoya ophansi
So, no
– Ngakho, cha
Don’t call me, nigga
– Ungangibizi, nigga
Talkin’ ’bout bailin’ you outta jail
– Ukukhuluma ‘ngebheyili’ wena uphume ejele
Because your stupid ass over there stole a ****
– Ngoba imbongolo yakho eyisiphukuphuku lapho yeba ****
Tryna impress a friend
– Utryna uhlaba umxhwele umngane
And I’m a single parent, I’ve got bills to pay
– Futhi ngingumzali ongayedwa, nginezikweletu okufanele ngizikhokhe
I’m not tryna bail you outta jail, nigga, ’cause you’re stupid as fuck
