Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Awe ma se kind awe

Make the circle bigger
Make the circle bigger
JR is my nigga
JR is my nigga
Make the circle bigger
Make the circle bigger
JR is my nigga
JR is my nigga
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem

When I go Eersterust to see my honde
Ba i thatela style sa ka they like how I break it down
Ba ntshwarela plaka (Get drunk get high)
Ba nlahlela zaka they like how I get around round round like 2Pac
If you ain’t been to Eldo’s then you suck
Heidedal is where I make them maal
And then I go to Kimberly waar ek moet betaal
Before I go to the stad
Hook up with my braase van’ie kaap stad
Do what you wanna do but jy kom swaak
He die poppe, en die poppe, en die poppe sal dans
Cause I never taught myself what I know from a boeka
Still ke chesa sghubu like Mahoota
I’m a house head nigga
Find me on twitter
All my coloured boys know when they see me they go

Make the circle bigger
Make the circle bigger
JR is my nigga
JR is my nigga
Make the circle bigger
Make the circle bigger
JR is my nigga
JR is my nigga
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem

The DJ’s killing and dropping

Ya go ntsha le Gobbs tseleng my nigga
Pina e fihle go magcineng o sa blunder
Hao dlala ko Danville noord Kaapa bana ba daar ba rata schilli
Ko uMthata o bone ba go faga sdidi
Bo mzala ba bone ba go tlala skilli (Ek wys julle)
That motswako is die best hulle (Bring julle)
Lekker di pina le di verse (Don’t dink julle)
Hardly get down to this track
Tell the DJ boss bring the beat back
Seat back relax and keep that
Radio playing loud till o thola bo feedback (Wies daai)
Ke Jabba man le mantja
Ha I se le batla o puncture let me hear you say

Make the circle bigger
Make the circle bigger
JR is my nigga
JR is my nigga
Make the circle bigger
Make the circle bigger
JR is my nigga
JR is my nigga
Awe show sem, show dem, show sem, parti show dem
