Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Het jy my tv?
My codename is Mikhail Breznikov, but you can call me Bongi
Nice name, where'd you get it?
The Waterfront?
Don't you think I've been mocked enough, because my father, Sipho, did not put a click in my name?
Versin
I was taken by the Russians as a slave, but I maintain my Sowetan heritage with this afro
Stop English only I do not understand your language.
Mm? why am I here?
Ja waars ons kinders?
I said English
Can you handle it?
Hmm?
Because you are cute and I like to lick the chocolate starfish
If you are wondering why my voice is not in sync with my lips
It is because when I was a little boy my best friend Jacob Zuma taught me how to talk shit
And just like him I have mastered it, and I now talk through my ass as well

I wish I knew you, way back when before you were a part of my plans,
If only I had met you earlier, before anything else came into mind.
I think that we would have been friends.
I am sure we would have had a great friendship.
There's only time,to live our lives,
Our lives are limited by time to live to the fullest.
You'll be the one that's by my side.
You will always be the one by my side.
And I can promise you, then you'll always be my best friend.
I promise you, that you'll always be my most cherished companion.
Till the end when we part, I will give you my heart,
Until we are separated, I will always give you my love.
And will promise to love you with all that it is,
I declare that I will love you with all my heart.
And I will promise to be there whenever you need me,
I vow to always be there for you when you need me the most.
Because you'll always be my best friend.
Forever and always, you will remain my most trusted friend.

@Mistyjan It's Afrikaanse, it's like the Ebonics of Dutch. It's cool as hell.

@Mistyjan It's Afrikaanse, it's like the Ebonics of Dutch. It's cool as hell. My best friend Jacoob Zooma taught me how to talk shit.
@Willyocky
@psychanaut it's not really like ebonics, as that's a dialect of English spoken by blacks. Afrikaans is the language spoken by most whites in SA. I agree that it sounds cool though! Seems suited to grime/hip hop mcing
@Calif0rnIan
It's Afrikaans, not Afrikaanse. Ek praat Afrikaans. Maar ek verstaan 'n bietje.
@SuperCiganina
