Go away
Mos β€˜dala sibele sisho mos
Daai ding siy'chunel' ikasi
Abaye ba busy bayas' claimela
Sithi go away go away go away

Ya bona le yinja eykhotha amanxeba inja yethafa
In this concrete jungle silw' inkinga yendlala
I will keep hustling ngifuna iytina nedladla
Sobesiringa lendaba lomtwana ungilinga ngempahla
Eish lomtwana ung'zela ngenkinga
Eishh uyakwazi uk'dlala nge-figure
Mara loko siyok'bona late
Angithi tjope ngibone ukuzolwa ngo 8
Sohlanganisa ngoba the hustle will never wait
I'm never late for heaven's sake
Lempata zisemuva kwami nje ngo 7 no 8
And ngeke zifike to my level of weight
Masek'khala ama-fluit uwazi kushubile bade
S'jamp' ama-gate mabak'tholile harde
Kuhanjw' ama-case mabak'bophile harde
Ngiphethe i-lawyer e-straight β€˜hlala ngitolile bade

Sek'onakele sani, ungaz'peshi mungena mali go away
We do this for the money s'yathesha lana asidlali go away
No favours to all the haters 'mangabe unekwali go away
Sithi go away go away go away

Been trying to get paid all my life so angek' ungitshele niks sani
Tsek sani money talks angihlek' sani
Clever we get money they say I act funny
Maw'nemali ungenzani labantu aba-verstaani
Coz we ride β€˜til the wheels fall off like crash dummies
Mina no-cash wami sweety singastresani
You can have sex nami mara ngeke uthole niks from me
Ungabuzi int' ey'ningi ngo-K O
Mina ngingena emcimbini with eight ho's
Mangabe wen' uyamdinga say so
This is one of the things you pay for
I'm young willing and able
Ekhaya bangitshela one thing make dough
Teargas is the team I play for
Kule game siy'nkinga they know

Sek'onakele sani, ungaz'peshi mungena mali go away
We do this for the money, s'yathesha lana asidlali go away
No favours to all the haters 'mangabe unekwali go away
Sithi go away go away go away

Sotho section Klipspruit where I was born
And my Zulu accent is kept straight when I'm on
The microphone my fans rubbing my vest on
When I'm on stage performing setting my chest off
I blast off like I'm ready for war boss
Put my mask on and haters get ready for more loss
Chiawelo Mapetla and Phiri sisonke magenge
Not forgetting e-Mpumalanga niyazi sonke siphelele
Coz ngiphatheka kabi when I look at some of my people
Who wanna do evil when some of us wanna be legal
And I hope sonke sofika la kumele sifike khona
And I hope never sigivaphe ngamane sijike khona
Njenge taxi driver mina I'll tell you where to get off
Tell you when to back off quicker than you can jerk off
Ulibe urhalela labo-cherrie sibaphethe
Bona barhalela thina labo-cherry bas'phethe

Sek'onakele sani, ungaz'peshi mungena mali go away
We do this for the money s'yathesha lana asidlali go away
No favours to all the haters 'mangabe unekwali go away
Sithi go away go away go away

Go away
Sithi go away go away go away
Go away
