Uh, it’s lonely at the top, lot of people are watchin’ and want me to flop
– Uh, unesizungu phezulu, abantu abaningi bayabukela futhi bafuna ngihluleke
I’m tellin’ the kids, if I can do it then anyone can, cah I came from nothin’
– Ngitshela izingane, uma ngikwazi ukukwenza khona-ke noma ubani angakwenza, cah angivelanga lutho
One stop and search away from the block
– Ukuma okukodwa bese usesha kude nebhulokhi
In this life, I don’t feel fear, only man that can make me afraid is God, uh
– Kulokhu kuphila, angizizwa ngesaba, umuntu kuphela ongangenza ngesabe Unkulunkulu, uh
Negative press on the shade room, anythin’ good, it don’t make the blogs
– I-Negative press on the shade room, noma yini enhle, ayenzi amabhulogi
They didn’t sit at the table when it was chicken shop
– Abazange bahlale etafuleni lapho kuyisitolo sezinkukhu
Now it’s steak and lobster edamame and Pan-Asian cod
– Manje sekuyi-steak ne-lobster edamame ne-pan-Asian cod
My first bedroom smaller than a jail cell, now the crib’s on a ten-acre plot
– Igumbi lami lokulala lokuqala lincane kunesisele sejele, manje isidleke sisendaweni engamahektare ayishumi
First time I committed a crime was petty, I couldn’t afford what the trainers cost
– Okokuqala ngenza ubugebengu obuncane, ngangingakwazi ukukhokhela izindleko zabaqeqeshi
First time I sold crack, I was just sixteen, witnessin’ that at that age was wrong
– Lapho ngithengisa i-crack okokuqala, ngangineminyaka eyishumi nesithupha kuphela, ngibona ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi nganginephutha
Detached myself from every emotion, hopin’ I’ll get my paper long
– Ngazihlukanisa nayo yonke imizwelo, nginethemba lokuthi ngizothola iphepha lami isikhathi eside
One brick phone, one iPhone, no SIM, listenin’ to the same old song
– Ifoni eyodwa yezitini, i-iPhone eyodwa, ayikho I-sim, ukulalela ingoma efanayo endala
I’m jumpin’ the barriers, if the inspector get on the train, I’m gone
– Ngigxuma izithiyo, uma umhloli engena esitimeleni, sengihambile
Now the whip that I’m in’s an impatient one, put my foot on the gas when the light goes amber
– Manje isiswebhu engikuso singesineke, sibeke unyawo lwami phezu kwegesi lapho ukukhanya kuba amber
Try touch me and guns will shoot, we don’t do kung fu and fight like Panda
– Zama ukungithinta futhi izibhamu zizodubula, asenzi i-kung fu futhi silwe njenge-panda
My guy’s a convicted criminal, so he gotta hide from cameras
– Umfana wami uyisigebengu esilahlwe yicala, ngakho kumelwe acashe kumakhamera
All of my bitches pretty as hell, I can start up a beauty pageant
– Zonke izifebe zami zinhle njengesihogo, ngingaqala umncintiswano wobuhle
How’d I end up all the way in Clapham, I started my day in NW2
– Ngingagcina kanjani ngiseclapham, ngaqala usuku lwami ENW2
Deliverin’ food direct to your door, you can leave a review like Deliveroo
– Deliverin ‘ ukudla ngqo emnyango wakho, ungashiya isibuyekezo like Deliveroo
Sticks outside for a special occasion, nank on hip that’s everyday shit
– Unamathela ngaphandle ngesenzakalo esikhethekile, unank esesithendeni lokho kuyihlazo lansuku zonke
Gotta thank God that I never did, dark and light, did sell it in twos
– Kumelwe ngibonge Unkulunkulu ngokuthi angikaze ngikwenze, ubumnyama nokukhanya, ngakuthengisa kabili
Before I got the invite to Mike Rubin’s all-white party, 4th of July
– Ngaphambi kokuba ngithole isimemo sokuya emcimbini kamike rubin wabantu abamhlophe kuphela, ngojulayi 4
I was sat in the trap with a pack all night, cocaine fragrance, weren’t dressed in white
– Ngangihlezi ogibeni ngigqoke iphakethe ubusuku bonke, iphunga le-cocaine, ngangingagqokile okumhlophe
Fifteen minutes away from the shot, but I said that I’d get there in less than five
– Emizuzwini eyishumi nanhlanu ngaphambi kokudubula, kodwa ngathi ngizofika lapho ngemizuzu engaphansi kwemihlanu
It gives me the ick when girls come around and try too hard to impress the guys
– Kunginika i ick lapho amantombazane eza futhi ezama kanzima ukuhlaba umxhwele abafana
I sat and I told the Sony exec’, “If you give me a ten for a tape, I’ll sign” (Uh)
– Ngahlala futhi ngatshela umphathi Wesony’, ” Uma unginika ishumi ngetheyiphu, ngizosayina “(Uh)
Everything’s gonna come to an end, when I counted an M, I was on cloud nine
– Konke kuzophela, lapho ngibala U-m, ngangisefwini lesishiyagalolunye
If it weren’t rap, I would’ve been a pimp, I look at a bitch and I see pound signs
– Ukube bekungeyona i-rap, ngabe ngingumshushumbisi, ngibheka indlovukazi futhi ngibona izimpawu zikapound
Plus one thousand aura, even if I don’t talk, they’ll feel our vibe
– Ngaphezu kwe-aura eyinkulungwane, ngisho noma ngingakhulumi, bayozizwa sinomoya wethu
Label execs don’t care if we’re murderers long as your catalogue’s bringin’ in revenue
– Abaphathi bamalebula abanandaba nokuthi singababulali uma nje ikhathalogi yakho iletha imali
They’ll sign you and when you go broke and end up in jail, they’re quick to forget you
– Bazokusayina futhi lapho uphelelwa yimali futhi ugcina usejele, bayashesha ukukukhohlwa
I can’t worry ’bout album sales, I got serious shit that I’m tryin’ to get through
– Angikwazi ukukhathazeka ‘ngokuthengiswa kwama-albhamu, ngithole izinto ezingathi sína engizama ukuzidlula
How can they talk down on my name for tryna get paid, I’m playin’ a chess move
– Bangakhuluma kanjani ngegama lami ngotryna khokhelwa, ngidlala isinyathelo se-chess
GTA, I’m usin’ cheat codes, cheat at school in exams, I’m fucked
– GTA, i ‘m usin’ ukukopela amakhodi, ukukopela esikoleni izivivinyo, I ‘ m fucked
I cheat on my wife, but how can you blame me? I cheated life
– Ngikhohlisa umkami, kodwa ungangisola kanjani? Ngakhohlisa ukuphila
I weren’t supposed to make it this far, I got no grades, I ain’t even wise
– Ngangingafanele ngifinyelele kude kangaka, ngangingenamamaki, ngangingahlakaniphile
Walk down Uxbridge Road, I reckon that one in three of these people high
– Hamba Ngomgwaqo I-Uxbridge, ngicabanga ukuthi umuntu oyedwa kwabathathu kulaba bantu uphakeme
Supply and demand, that’s how I get by, she tellin’ me how a trap boy’s her type
– Ukunikezwa nokufunwa, yilokho engikutholayo, ungitshela ukuthi umfana oyisicupho uyisihlobo sakhe
I’m tryna not get too used to the life, I’m stayin’ inside, avoidin’ the hype
– Ngingutryna ongajwayele kakhulu ukuphila, ngihlala ngaphakathi, ngigwema ukudideka
So many gyal that are wantin’ to fuck, I’m turnin’ them down, they’re wonderin’ why
– Ugyal omningi kangaka ofuna ukuhlekisa, ngiyabenqaba, bayazibuza ukuthi kungani
I’m nonchalant, not shy, my entourage top five, I’m probably one of the—
– Anginandaba, anginamahloni, abalandeli bami abahlanu abaphambili, cishe ngingomunye wabalandeli bami abaphambili—
I’ve gotta be one of the greats
– Kumelwe ngibe omunye wabakhulu
I’ll get number one album, easy, it’s not like the bar’s set high these days
– Ngizothola i-albhamu yokuqala, kulula, akufani nesethi yebha ephakeme kulezi zinsuku
I came in the scene at an all-time low, I don’t know, but I think I revived the game
– Ngafika endaweni yesehlakalo ngisezingeni eliphansi kakhulu, angazi, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi ngivuselele umdlalo
I’ve been prayin’ that times will change
– Bengilokhu ngithandaza ukuthi izikhathi zizoshintsha
Premeditatin’ a graceful exit, in the meantime, I’ll try maintain
– Ukuhlela kusengaphambili ukuphuma okunomusa, okwamanje, ngizozama ukugcina
Alright
– Kulungile
