AKAs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

You don't wanna wanna see me flex no
I'm gon' drown my sorrows with the demi sec, Jazzy Jeff
Drinking out of the bottle like we Romeo and Juliet
If I lose it all tomorrow will you still be here

Why you blowing up my i-Phone
Why ung'buza ukuthi ngibuya nini
Wena mind yours

Tell how you want your Milo
You used to be my silent night chilling in the wife zone

Tell me would you still be there
If I was a weed head with Unathi dreads Yeah
Tell me would you still be there if I never pulled up in white BM'?
Reebok and a icy wrist make a nigga say 'tsek to a Nike cheque
Blaq Smith on the private jet he gon' take a snap shot of the BBS
If I was a throw back like drop top?
Would you put me in a box like Papsak
If I ain't had it lock like rastas
If I shapa chiskop like Busta
Nkalakatha, MDZ
Everywhere like MTN
Wafa-Wafa er' weekend
She gon' pull up in a maxi cab

You don't wanna wanna see me flex no
I'm gon' drown my sorrows with the demi sec, Jazzy Jeff
Drinking out of the bottle like we Romeo and Juliet
If I lose it all tomorrow will you still be here?

Why you blowing up my i-Phone
Why ung'buza ukuthi ngibuya nini
Wena mind yours
Tell how you want your Milo
You used to be my silent night chilling in the wife zone

Tell me would you still be here if a rich nigga sent you a spicy text
Tell me would you still be here
If I never pulled up with a icy neck and shot of Courvoisier
If I had dicey cred' would you slice me bread
Or would I be slightly dead if a billionaire was in your DMs
Look at what egoli did
Go ahead girl talk your shit
Overseas with hommies that gon' treat your rich like yogi sip
I'm tryna give you my everything
Is you in the trap or you in the house or you wanna flex like Tellaman
Tell me what you want let's get it then

You don't wanna wanna see me flex no
I'm gon' drown my sorrows with the demi sec, Jazzy Jeff
Drinking out of the bottle like we Romeo and Juliet
If I lose it all tomorrow will you still be here

Why you blowing up my i-Phone
Why ung'buza ukuthi ngibuya nini
Wena mind yours
Tell me how you want your Milo
You used to be my silent night chilling in the wife zone

You remember when we shaying combos
You remember chilling in the jondol
You be playing games like Nintendo
Kodwa mtwan' omuntu ngiyak'thanda
Nowadays you do it for the likes
Iciniso liyababa, where the ice
I'm about my money, ngiyasebenza
All over my business in a handle
I could put you up in a mansion
Sidle i-lifestyle, sidle i-Sandton
Yaz' abanye abantu banomona
K'dala sihlanganisa now we're on
Told you I could take you to the top
You would never ever smell a four star
Put you on the spovas not a All Star
I'mma take you out, sidle i-Lobster
Cava that combo his and hers
Spura samaluda she the best
Cava car keys, cav' the purse
She love the palm trees and the sand
We go 50/50 on the Benz
We go 140 on the dash
We been tryna get it living fast
Amalobolo is in the plans

You don't wanna wanna see me flex no
I'm gon' drown my sorrows with the demi sec, Jazzy Jeff
Drinking out of the bottle like we Romeo and Juliet
If I lose it all tomorrow will you still be here

Why you blowing up my i-Phone
Why ung'buza ukuthi ngibuya nini
Wena mind yours

Tell how you want your Milo
You used to be my silent night chilling in the wife zone

In the opening verse, the singer questions whether his partner will stand by him through difficult times, expressing a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty about the future. The reference to drowning sorrows with "demi sec" (a type of sparkling wine) and mentioning Jazzy Jeff sets a luxurious and indulgent tone. The comparison to Romeo and Juliet, iconic figures in literature who faced tragic consequences, alludes to the dramatic nature of the singer's life and relationships.

The chorus continues to explore the idea of loyalty and commitment in the face of changing circumstances.
