Le Pitori ya nkitsi
Oh Lord

Young man, Oh Lord

I know you hating cause you weak
You heard about me fetsa ware I ain't got what you mean
I will forever bring the heat
They always put me on repeat sa etsa nkare ha o itsi, sa etsa ekare ha o itsi
I just made my mother famous
Ha le ko spaneng they be asking for a picture
Cause her friends told everybody that her son is A-Reece
Oh my Gawd, I can't believe
I compare myself to my Idols
I am like a lion in all the Cristiano's
Shit is real I got em worried about tomorrow
Got em' feeling like they just missed a price to Ferragamo oh no
The time is now I gotta make it work
I wanna do it right they wanna do it first
Steady moving the product, there's another beat in the hearse wa nkitsi

But I can make your mouth open wide though eyes closed
I know I'm so snax, ke a spita
Make it high for the boy and make it pop
Make it everything snae for the boy make it sweep
Getting clear though we are not an item

Overall Meaning

The chorus of A-Reece's song "Boom" repeats the phrase "I run the game ha o le so" which translates from Setswana to English as "I run the game, if you're not [me], then leave." The lyrics throughout the song showcase A-Reece's confidence and pride in his abilities as an artist, as well as his determination to succeed. He references his mother and her friends recognizing his success and fame, and his willingness to work hard and compete, even comparing himself to his idols. He also highlights his partying lifestyle and his desire for relationships without drama or scandal.


The phrase "Le Pitori ya nkitsi" in the first line of the song refers to Pretoria, the capital city of South Africa where A-Reece grew up. "Nkitsi" is a derogatory term for someone who is deemed insignificant or weak. Throughout the song, A-Reece rejects this label and asserts his dominance in the rap industry. The repetition of "Oh Lord" and "young man" creates a sense of urgency and power in his delivery.
