Tricky
Yanga Chief feat. AKA & Gemini Major Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shit is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very tricky
Do the honours if the shoe fits
Secure the bag, eh, eh
We never run out of cash
You speaking fana kalo
I'm with bafana ba North
Everytime we in the building feel like there's a million niggas tryna greet me
We did it all on our own
Put me in charge of the cannabis
My shit is louder than anybody's
Choke on the power leave y'all niggas sour
Kwangen' uNtshakaza kwaphel' ipati
Pati, pati, pati, pati
Feel like it's Abu dhabi, dhabi, dhabi
Buz' abangani bami, if uz'tshela ngami then ibhadi, bhadi, bhadi
I see the Golf 4 from the roof
Lucky my Jordan 4 is shatterproof
Bitches on all floors on the fourth floor getting more souls than a future
That's what they fall for, that's the truth
Hlalisa four-four in a coupe
Even the north pole of a tjo-tjo I got more dough in the boot
Bitches be shinning and getting by
Shine like a diamond in Africa
Killing north side I'm an animal
Live like a rider fuck everybody
Power shower like every hour sending out a shout out to the streets
Yanga, Yanga, Yanga Chief
Getting gouda in a beat
I'm 'bout to roll up some sticky
Shit is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very tricky
Do the honours if the shoe fits
Secure the bag, eh, eh
We never run out of cash
You speaking fana kalo
I'm with bafana ba north
Everytime we in the building feel like there's a million niggas tryna greet me
Balling with all of my bros
We did it all on our own
Shit so easy need a challenger
Your days are numbered like a calender
Wag 'n bietjie never halla back
Top of the game like a running back
I'm the freshest out the cool kids
Shout out niggas from the pool pit
Balaclava and a two key*
I'll be dropping like a poopy
Oh, ah fresh out the bed
[?] for your fears
Smoking jay in the benz
Dodging traffic to walk in
Ya, godfather soldier
Dreadlock rasta
Fresh out of Africa
They know my shit in Jamaica
Smoking with haitians
Rasta man wayase now
I am a baker
Holla nigga get your cake up
And I been dope since my water broke
And I'mma do it till I'm 44
Graduated working 9 to 5 'bout to make a million nigga work it out
I'm 'bout to roll up some sticky
Shit is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very tricky
Do the honours if the shoe fits
Secure the bag, eh, eh
We never run out of cash
You speaking fana kalo
I'm with bafana ba north
Everytime we in the building feel like there's a million niggas tryna greet me
Balling with all of my bros
We did it all on our own
The song "Tricky" by Yanga Chief, featuring AKA and Gemini Major, is about the easy life and rolling up some sticky weed. The first verse speaks about the difficulty of making money in this generation, and how one should always be hustling to secure the bag. The lyrics "you speaking fana kalo" mean that the listener is probably talking about something that is not worth hearing or talking about. The verse features a boastful tone emphasizing that they have made it through hard work with their crew from the North. They feel like a million people are trying to greet them every time they go out, signifying that they are thriving in their circle.
The second verse is a rap by AKA, who proclaims himself as the leader in the cannabis industry, and he is better than anyone else in the game. He is referred to as "UNtshakaza," meaning the boss. He boasts of his wealth and how he can afford to live a luxurious life in a place like Abu Dhabi. He further advises that if anyone has something to say about him or his wealth, they should say it directly to him. AKA is also referencing his previous hits with more lyrics like "lucky my Jordan 4 shatterproof" which fans should recognize. Gemini Major raps the last verse, expressing that the game is very easy and he needs a challenge. He talks about his unique style and mentions Jamaica and Haiti, Africa and how famous he is in those regions for his music.
