AKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I raised the bar
Amazing grace
I praise the Lord
Versace store
The world is yours
Monate so
Monate so
The shwashwi in the cut with a camera phone
Everytime we in the club it's a family show
Take the trophy home, we the champions
Champions
Champions
Champions
Champions
Always knew you'd be on top again
Supa Mega he on top again
Couple dalis in the cut for the ambience
But you wildin', 'bout to call you a maxi home
It's a classic night, Friday action night
Paid the price for everything that we sacrificed
For the bragging rights
I deserve this life
It's a perfect time to keep my circle tight
Fuck the flashing lights, fuck the plastic life
What's the verdict when I pull up at the traffic light?
Who got the juice
Who got the juice
Somebody make me an offer I can't refuse
This summer we on some other let's act a fool
Do numbers like Khuli Chana with Absolut
What it look like
Everytime we pull up it's a good time
All in good time like good wine
Record labels acting like Suge Knight
Keep it North side
Don't ever treat me like a popeye
I got my niggas on standby
You gon' say hello to the bad guys
You played it safe
I raised the bar
Amazing grace
I praise the Lord
Versace store
The world is yours

Tryna take shots at Mega
Tell me what you know about pressure
You too busy worried 'bout blessers
Smoking that Shoprite Checkers
My impact is something you can't measure
Who went plat without a vernac record
Let's talk facts and give me some damn credit
I got a few things in the cabinet
Five gold rings like a champion
And I ain't gon change I'm a savage
Sipping rosé with the family
What it look like
Everytime we pull up it's a good time
Killing my vibe that's suicide
If I get that shoe size, kiss it goodbye
No need to worry 'bout the news guy
Cause every story got two sides
We pop culture, paid the full price
For chilling poolside under blue skies
You played it safe
I raised the bar
Amazing grace
I praise the Lord

Closer to my dreams, Goapele in my genes
My nigga please, the flow a 100 degrees
You see the beams? I'm like a money machine
My legal team can't stomach my Twitter feed
Aye, and ever since Victory Lap
It never felt this good to be bad
The powers that be are so mad
You ain't sick of me yet
But lowkey they be giving me dap, that's how the game goes
Purple rain, all I see is rainbows
I remember days when I was fucking with lame hoes
I never changed, my budget up, my chain gold
Let's celebrate, I'm pulling up with the same bros
How the saying goes? Huh?
I paid the cost to be the boss, the main oke
I'm in the Source, you in the dark, it's painful
Nobody got it like I got it where I came from
Cuban cigars up in your videos
Thatha ama chance, thatha ama millions
Who got the buzz Who got the spillion
Dala what you must

You played it safe
I raised the bar

And I ain't gon change I'm a savage
I am tough and unyielding, and will not compromise my values
Sipping rosé with the family
I am spending quality time with my loved ones
Killing my vibe that's suicide
If you try to bring me down or upset me, it will only harm yourself
If I get that shoe size, kiss it goodbye
If I achieve my goals, they will be out of reach for others to attain
No need to worry 'bout the news guy
I am not afraid of the media or their coverage of me
Cause every story got two sides
There are different perspectives and interpretations of every situation
We pop culture, paid the full price
We are part of popular culture, and have worked hard to get here
For chilling poolside under blue skies
We can relax and enjoy the good life by the pool on a sunny day

When this song came out my son who was 2 would sing the “oooh ooooh” part. We saw him last year January 2022 sitting in a restaurant in Parkhurst and I shouted his name whilst in the car. He came to us spoke to my my son and gave him first pound. My niece 20yr old was there too. She almost died. Aka was magnetic such a beautiful soul. He received us with such warmth - a crazy mother, fan struck niece and a 6year old shy boy.
