I'm Queen B when hop out the bеd
Queen B, when I walk up to the fridge
Rose petals when I walk out the crib
Red carpet when I walk out the whip
Fuck a new-new, bitch I've been blew, I was already hit
Tbt me in 2015, I was already Legit
I was already ahead, already breaking the net
Marie Claire on the bitch, my ass already been big
I ain't no regular bitch, don't ever forget
I been on this shit I did it without a regret
I went for the cheques, when all of you went for the dick
Noodles in the kitchen, back when I was broke as shit
Now they call me Miss Mnisi, 'cause a sister is getting rich
I've been popping on the charts, now I'm popping this Moet
Can't you hear this Gucci, screaming out "Voetsek skang ntloayela masepa"

Oh, yini, mntana ndini, k'theni usenz' ntwe ongeyiyo
(K'theni uzam' ukusenza fresh)

A visionary season 2020
Look how we killin', never missing
Shit is very scary
Nothing but net, we over scaling as we dribble many
What you expect for what you think?
I'm tryna build a family
With more connects is still ahead but the sounds of it, is in my head
I put a crown on it
You see my bread, I put accounts on it
You see my bed, I put a round on it
King shit kleva
Hot head, I'm a fever
A lot dead, ngiyaba qima k'phela
Singama gimba khehla
Taking our orders, taking their place
We taking their daughters, we making 'em pay
We record it, taking a break
We go for boarders, from rap she rich
Look at the style, top of the line
Fuck all the shade, ain't blocking my line
Giving 'em vibes, rocking the times
Still I'm a great, you living a lie
You, you fuck with me I fuck with you times two

Oh, yini, mntana ndini, k'theni usenz' ntwe ongeyiyo
(K'theni uzam' ukusenza fresh)
You ain't really got a deal
Oh, yini, mntana ndini, k'theni usenz' ntwe ongeyiyo
