Shipwreck A.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We went so hard even had stones in our food
I live my life you watch if you feel you should
I do the things they claim would never come through
My life a movie what am speaking they don't understand
So they got subtitles but the smoke cover they eyes
So they shoot shots
Cause my vision is stuck on a life like paradise
They come around faking love
And they transparent like her dress
She know am next my name on her body
Am the best not to mention hey
This the game that we play
Am the player one nothing like the one
Call me Mr. Awany
Call it what you want
I did it with no gun
Just playing Tetris
That's how you build an empire son
I teach them how to lead
So they call me king without a crown
Nothing like a tree that I cannot climb
Basically nze omu kubali ku zi top charts
Please forgive me we mba nsobeza
Am human too
You might think am always on the right track
But yo this the perfect right track
Got a lot of people on my side ndi kabejja
Mu majje nze mbera major
No cap when I enter in da place am the centre
Everyone around me so we getting squared
Let me show you how to turn a sad life to a sad life
I ain't giving tips less you act nice
I try to teach them what to do balowoza ndi kamya
These are facts I don't sell hate I buy love
Your people think my music is top you think its not fine
You still in darkness they seen the light
My rhythm top don't sleep on it not a lullaby
Less you wanna sleep my boys will pass by
We do it cause we want and we can
Stop us if you must
My crew is like gorillas they on edge
Gonna be so high its a flight
There is no rush
Nothing like some food and some Js
For the people that always got my back
The ones you cant touch
Let me show you how to live
Those that doubt us every time when we work
Watching from a far
I got footsteps on the moon
We go so high we got footsteps on the moon
We went so hard even had stones in our food
I live my life you watch if you feel you should
I do the things they claim would never come through
