Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All praise to the most high
I feena get booked now
Clouds when I look down
Putting on my time
Everybody know my hood now
01 to the 2 now
Can I just take you to it
Do it all through the music

Show you my true influence
And why I got new exclusives
And why I don't fuck with fame
And why I don't fuck with fame
Every thing has its time
Nigga this time is mine
Let a young Nigga shine
It's probably go take a while
I hope you stick around

Ba khuluma ngami help crazy these days
Think I see my gali I'm on TV these days
Bete iskeme Sami light up one azishe
Natamje skhokho Sami on my knees I still pray
That is why

I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning

Making out was a mission
Pray to the God that I did it
Made it this far cause I listened
I am doing me for a living
Used to be counting me out
Used to be cutting me out
Now they put me on the list
Like I don't know I'm the shit
I'm looking at all of these CO signs
Like where have the been for the whole time
They wanna feature the boy uhhh
They heard I'm making noise now
Ko Kasi they fuck with the kid
It don't get better than this
Look at the way that I live
That's probably one of your wishes

Ba khuluma Ngami Hela crazy these days I think I see my gali I'm on TV these days
Bethe iskeme Sami light up on azishe
Namanje skhokho Sami on my knees I still pray

That is why

I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning

Ba khuluma ngami Hela crazy these days
I think I see my gali I'm on TV these days
Bethe iskeme Sami light up one azishe
Namanje skhokho Sami on my knees I still pray

That is why

I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning
I am winning

I am winning
I am winning
