Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dankie prince boi
Shu bac scuf
You only life one life
But ngingu mraper ngiyikati ngina nie life
I hope we clear
EMonti eskomplass
Bebengihleka ngisaphanda ngidla amaskopaas
Baphi laba bebnekade besihleka nam angazi
Namhlanje impilo ibukhazikhazi
Siphila to the fullest
Impilo isweet manje ngathi ngumbhubhudlo one hullets
True that otherwise uzoba yi pupet
Masebeku lighter phandle uhume ngathi yi cricket
Siya phambili no reverse
Egadini nguiyayityhalela
Only beef nam angisamlwini ngiyi vegan
In fact sengihlala no Rasta umorgan
Sibheme zonke izihlahla
Asinamthunzi wokukhosela
Living to the fullest sixova xova cement
Dala sayi chizila lempilo siyayiplastera
