V.Mae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the summertime
Drop the top, spill yo' drink
Whatever, Act crazy
Let's Go
Summertime ntwana yase lokishin' (Woo, kumnandi la)
We gon' ride nawe uCherry ufun' uk'thini? (Yewena)
Zonk' izinto ziright, Ungakhohlwa ntwana uk'biza aboNice (hey, hey, at the summertime)
Summertime ntwana yase lokishin' (Yewena)
We gon' ride nawe uCherry ufun' uk'thini? (Uyazi)
Iyoh ke Summer (Aye, Aye, Aye)
Zona zikwenza kanje, ungakhohlwa kuthi kushota amaIce (Uh-huh, let's go)
'Mamam' ung'zaleleni? Zona lezinto
Ezami zino msindo, mas' ngena kunuk' iZol
Silwa namaDemon in the City of Babylon
There's no way I belong, but I would still like to be on it
I got, Mandelas on my mind and my mind on Mandelas
I'm not an average guy, you can tell by my swagger
Chains real gold, check the shine, eyamampela
Ngi uGeorgie Zamdela, nawe uya kena
Jeans are Replay, Wie te neem ken
Thath' is'khath' sakho ungang'bhek ujagile
Just a quick recap, Uzibuze malini le?
Ain't nothing but a G' Thang
Always riding dirty, ngathi ingaxhi siphe
Ntwana I'm a G, Check the Star on my T-shirt
My weed so loud, it might cause a feedback
Zisha ngama-two, pass the mic, ntwana azishe
Summertime ntwana yase lokishin' (Kumnandi la)
We gon' ride nawe uCherry ufun' uk'thini? (Yewena)
Iyoh ke Summer (It's pretty good right now)
Zonk' izinto ziright, Ungakhohlwi ntwana uk'biza aboNice (gqwala, gqwala)
Summertime ntwana yase lokishin' (Yewena)
We gon' ride nawe uCherry ufun' uk'thini? (Uyazi)
Iyoh ke Summer (Aye, Aye, Aye)
Zona zikwenza kanje, ungakhohlwa kuthi kushota amaIce (Yeah)
Summertime, Summertime, Feel the vibe
It's alive, and we killing it for the 100th time
You know why? Us in the streets, it's unified
Do or die, You can't hang with us, it's suicide
So goodbye, unless you brought the women or the weed
I'm cool with either mfana kithi, You can call it G'
As long as ungazi lan' ukhamisile, mfana yini?
If vele awuna nex, hamba uye endlini, sala kini
Ain't no problem with that though
They say you gotta act the same way that your cash flow
That means act your age, it's a level
'Cause iy'febe gon' judge and their eyes are the gavel
And now you fuckin' dead, under gravel
Didn't work through the winter now your summer unravels
Now let me show you how a winner teach heart
Find me with yo' bitch downing in the street park, In the summer
Summertime ntwana yase lokishin' (Kumnandi la)
We gon' ride nawe uCherry ufun' uk'thini? (Yewena)
Iyoh ke Summer (In the summertime)
Zonk' izinto ziright, Ungakhohlwa ntwana uk'biza aboNice
Summertime ntwana yase lokishin' (Yewena)
We gon' ride nawe uCherry ufun' uk'thini? (Uyazi)
Iyoh ke Summer (Aye, Aye, Aye)
Zona zikwenza kanje, ungakhohlwa kuthi kushota amaIce
Hey Summertime (yoh, yoh, yoh)
Hey, Summertime (yoh, yoh, yoh)
Hey, Summertime
Ah ke Summer (kamnandi, kamnandi, kamnandi hey)
Hey Summertime
Hey, Summertime (yoh, yoh, yoh)
Iyoh ke Summer (iyoh ke Summer)
Iyoh ke Summer (iyoh ke Summer)
Iyoh ke Summer (Maggz, Ma Eeze does it)
Summertime ntwana yase lokishin'
We gon' ride nawe uCherry ufun' uk'thini?
Mfana kithi s'blome nabantwana siz'pholele kamnandi

@Seyy0804
What's temporary? Me or you?
You want me here to stay (Stay)
But your situation tells me that it's a waste of time
But never mind all that, mmh
Boy, I'm serious
You know you don't have to play
I'm already on the way
You ain't gotta say shit
So he set the mood on some love shit
Made a couple jokes about fuckin', yeah
Might've kissed few times but never made a move on no cut shit
Just enjoyed the time that we had laid aside to be numb in
All alone, we turned off our phones all the way
Your girl drivin' your ass insane
And you know my nigga don't play shit (Oh)
I say, babe, what we gonna do? (Oh)
And you say, we'll have our cake and eat it too
Too, our cake and eat it too, ah
Ah, yeah, our cake and eat it too, too
Our cake and eat it too, ooh-woah
It's not the right time but
You say the timing is perfect
You want me to ride for you, on you, with you, my babe
You want me to lie
Say, no, I haven't seen this guy
We doin' the most
Takin' pictures you know we can't post
Can't post
No, no, no, no, no (Oh)
All alone, we turned off our phones all the way
Your girl drivin' your ass insane
And you know my nigga don't play shit
