Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Ska gata man, busa daai ding
Well, it started out with a pipe dream
To be a money making mochini
Ne ba sa mpone, ba itse nkas' kgone
Ba mpone nou the same guy behind the story
You're not a business man 'cause o repa gape
The business plan's in my mind
Utlwa bare, bare music is a risky business
Tshepo said that to me so I bare to witness, gake bari, J
Kgale ke didimetse, but nou ke kelemitse
Ene kgale ke thlalifile, but nou ke galefile
Ene kgale ke maizitse, ke butse mathlo
Nou check coast, bari di baizitse
And I said never and never again
Will I need new enemies, I would need new friends
Cause Im bringing Motswako back bigger than ever
And I'm gon' be more in your face than dikipa tea Jabba so...
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
Ska gata man, busa daai ding
Second verse e tletse ka ma-k-k
'Cause bare who's J, Tabure Thabo Bogopa
Mixed straight with some cool aid, jo
So dismal cause nnete ya baba
And I chose to be the Hip Hop mogul like Tony Montan
Sure, nagana, qabanga, thing twice about it
Kgale ke ditsenela jo and i never doubt it
The fact ya gore ke masepa
The fact ya gore ko ba setla
Ba bang kgale ba ditsenela mara nou ka ba feta
I told Mpho to do his calculations
If you dare sign me, you have no idea what you facing
You'll spend more time in court than a judges occupation
Thanks for that but thanks a lot for the patience
And just in case I don't make it
We'll use my pay check
Thanks for having me back dawg
You're appreciated
Manyora aka batla
Even Towdee Mac wa Morafe knows
When he sees me are
Gata le nna jo, gata le nna
We tswak it up my baby so tswaka le nna
Get down if you wanna saka le nna
Ha o gana ka wena ka gana le nna
Kao bona wa mpatla so ka o batla le nna
Ha ole spidi kao fathla le nna
Hao e latlha sa nagana ke tlo e latlha le nna, huh-uh
Ska gata man busa, busa daai ding!

You know dintshang hao sa tsebe kena styleng
