Jikijela die nommer

Please don't take me for a poes

The opening line of M.G.R's song IV, "Ja julle naaiers, Jikijela die nommer" is a colloquial term used by M.G.R to address his detractors. The term "naaiers" is a derogatory term that describes someone who is not trustworthy or a backstabber. By using this term, M.G.R is challenging those who have doubted his abilities, asking them to listen to the number (song) and he will prove them wrong. He confidently asserts, "Die wat nie duidelik is nie sal duidelik kom" meaning, those who are not clear about his message will come to understand it soon. The line "G-Boy, maak vol" is a reference to M.G.R's producer and fellow rapper G-Boy, asking him to make the song sound full and complete.
The rest of the song revolves around the theme of not being taken for a fool or a "poes" (another derogatory term used in South African slang). M.G.R is unapologetic and asserts that he doesn't care about the "naaiers" or why they talk about him behind his back. He describes himself as cool and collected, minding his own business, but is then provoked by someone who underestimated him. He warns others not to take him lightly or they will face the consequences. The song's outro features M.G.R calling out someone specifically, calling them a "fokken naaier" and reiterating his message of not being taken for a "poes."
