Bella Shmurda Lyrics

Shmurda yee
Introduction to the song by Bella Shmurda

You know success is a tradition
Success is something they have always done and will continue to do

(Is a tradition)
Reinforcing the idea that success is a tradition

Making money is a tradition
Another tradition of theirs is making money

Balling everyday, No position
They are living a good life without any constraints or limits to what they can do

(No position)
Reinforcing the idea that they don't have any limitations

Without Campaign we win election
They don't need to do anything to achieve success because it naturally comes to them

Rararara won le Towa
Repeating a phrase that has no real meaning but serves an aesthetic purpose

Won le bawa
Continuation of the phrase with no real meaning

She bon fo fun wa
A phrase that has no real meaning, but adds to the overall vibe of the song

Rararara won le Towa
Repeating the same phrase again

Won le bawa
Continuing the previous phrase

Rararara won fo fun wa
Continuing the meaningless phrase usage

Won every match no formation
They are able to win every contest without a plan or strategy
