Ke jele, Ke jele a se phoso
Maradona, Nkao batha 10 nought
Ka mo Alex, Ke skeemile maRoto
Ke tshwere cheese, Banyana ke mahotlho
Ha o ka lathla, Ko thulisa di top
Tshwere slahla, Ke thubile top
Ngwan'o oe qetela dibiri le menyonyo
Gijima, Gijima otlo flopa
O tle madice, He be rata bao popa

O itse barman, Ha itse boroko

The lyrics of Focalistic's "Limousine" tell the story of a man who is living his best life and wants to enjoy the finer things it has to offer. He is from the township (kasi) but has made it to the top and can afford to enjoy the luxurious lifestyle. He is confident and unapologetic about his success as he celebrates with his friends who are always ready to party. He mentions his love for expensive alcohol brands like Dom Perignon and how he enjoys drinking them with men and women who appreciate the finer things in life.
He talks about his desire to have something unique (someting sela) that he cannot find in the township and he looks to Sandton, an upscale area in Johannesburg, to fulfill this wish. The chorus mentions his desire to ride in a limousine as a symbol of his success and affluence. He repeats the chorus several times indicating his unyielding desire for the luxurious lifestyle.
The lyrics of the song are a representation of the dreams and aspirations of many young people living in the townships who hope to one day live a life of luxury and affluence. It also celebrates success and hard work and encourages people to pursue their dreams and never give up.
