Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it, uh
– Ride to it, ride to it, uh
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it (Uh)
– Hamba uye kuyo (Uh)
Young Jermaine walked the straight and narrow
– Ujermaine osemusha wahamba eqondile futhi emincane
Minimum-wage jobs for dinero, but still, my mind was on the zeros
– Imisebenzi Minimum-umholo for dinero, kodwa namanje, ingqondo yami kwaba phezu zero
I fiend for the perks that was seen flippin’ birds, so
– Ngidelela izinzuzo ezabonwa zishaya izinyoni, ngakho
We was skippin’ church, but my eyes was on the sparrows
– Sasishiya isonto, kodwa amehlo ami ayemi phezu kwezintshe
Niggas flippin’ pies, spendin’ thousands on apparel
– Ama-niggas aphonsa amapayi, achitha izinkulungwane ezingutsheni
Shit, I wanna shine too, I want dimes too
– Shit, nami ngifuna ukukhanya, nami ngifuna ama-dime
Jealous niggas wanna know just how my rhymes blew
– Amanigga anomona afuna ukwazi ukuthi amaculo ami ashaya kanjani
Mano y mano, I’m Bono, I’m you times two
– Mano y mano, ngingubono, nginguwe izikhathi ezimbili
Now I’m bougie, I done outgrew the fountain blue
– Manje sengingubougie, sengikhulile umthombo oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
But never forgot the spot where I developed my plot
– Kodwa angikaze ngiyikhohlwe indawo engangiyihlakulele kuyo indaba yami
To dwell at the top, the Ville, where all my skeletons locked
– Ukuze ngihlale phezulu, I-Ville, lapho wonke amathambo ami ayevalelwe khona
If I could do it all over, then I never would swap
– Uma ngangingakwenza konke, khona-ke ngangingeke ngishintshane
I’ve seen good, I’ve seen bad, had my melanin mocked
– Ngiye ngabona okuhle, ngibone okubi, ngahleka usulu i-melanin yami
I’ve seen lifelong friends turn to devilish opps
– Ngiye ngabona abangane bami bephendukela ekubeni abaphikisi abanonya
I was Mike in red leather, tryna tell him to stop
– Ngingumike ogqoke isikhumba esibomvu, utryna mtshele ukuba ayeke
You better beat it ‘fore you see the heavy-metal get popped
– Kungcono uyishaye ‘ngaphambi kokuba ubone i-heavy-metal iqhuma
He was a mean-ass wing with a hell of a shot
– Wayengumuntu omubi kakhulu futhi enekhono lokudubula
But if no team draft King, he gon’ bet on the block
– Kodwa uma kungekho Nkosi yokuqokwa kweqembu, wayezobheja ngebhulokhi
He wanna ball ’til he fall or ’til the federals knock
– Ufuna ibhola ‘kuze kube yilapho ewa noma’ kuze kube yilapho amafederal eshaya
And sit his ass on a bench for movin’ careless with rock
– Futhi ahlale phansi ebhentshini ukuze ahambe ngokunganaki ngetshe
You can’t relate, ‘less your father was not around
– Awukwazi ukuxoxa ,’ ubaba wakho wayengekho
And your mother went out and found someone else and then brought them ’round
– Futhi umama wakho waphuma wathola omunye umuntu wabe esebaletha ‘ nxazonke
And they salaries then combine, when they married, it brought you out
– Futhi amaholo abo abe esehlangana, lapho beshada, akukhiphe
Of that poverty, then you moved to a soft little part of town
– Ngalobo bumpofu, wabe usuthuthela engxenyeni encane ethambile yedolobha
So that when you back in the hood, you feel awkward about it now (Damn)
– Ngakho-ke uma ubuyela ku-hood, uzizwa unamahloni ngakho manje (Damn)
And your confidence start to drown
– Futhi ukuzethemba kwakho kuqala ukucwila
But the rappin’ gave you some positive thoughts, so you jot ’em down
– Kodwa i-rappin ‘ yakunika imicabango emihle, ngakho-ke uyazibulala
You jot ’em down
– Wena jot ‘ em phansi
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it
– Gibela kuwo, gibela kuwo
Ride to it, ride to it, uh
– Ride to it, ride to it, uh
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Yeah, uh
– Yebo, uh
Benjamin Button, Cole flows reverse time
– Ubenjamin Button, Ucole ugeleza isikhathi esiguqukayo
To find deliveries good as mine, you gotta search primes
– Ukuze uthole ukulethwa okuhle njengokwami, kumelwe ufune izinombolo eziyinhloko
I’m scaling heights higher than birds can perch
– Ngikhuphuka ukuphakama okuphakeme kunezinyoni ezingahlala kuzo
Tryin’ to be something, hopin’ that peace comes to my cursed mind
– Ukuzama ukuba yinto ethile, ngethemba lokuthi ukuthula kuza engqondweni yami eqalekisiwe
One thing’s for sure, that I’ve matured from my first rhyme
– Kunento eyodwa eqinisekile, ukuthi ngiye ngavuthwa kusukela engomeni yami yokuqala
I learned long ago, you can’t please ’em all, and it hurts tryin’
– Ngafunda kudala, awukwazi ukubathokozisa bonke, futhi kubuhlungu ukuzama
In this game, where all you’ve got is your name
– Kulesi mdlalo, lapho konke onakho igama lakho
Like Durk, I’m smirkin’ at niggas tryna besmirch mine
– Njengodurk, ngiyamomotheka emayini yaseniggas tryna besmirch
Absurd times, where the fake get toted as wise
– Izikhathi eziwubuwula, lapho inkohliso ihlakanipha khona
I can see hate in both of your eyes but the third’s blind
– Ngibona inzondo emehlweni akho womabili kodwa eyesithathu iyimpumputhe
So you search lines
– Ngakho wena ukucinga imigqa
But you struggle, which explains the puzzled look on the dull face as the word finds
– Kodwa ulwa, okuchaza ukubukeka okudidekile ebusweni obungenamusa njengoba izwi lithola
I hate what rap’s become, but like do-not-disturb signs
– Ngiyakuzonda lokho i-rap eba yikho, kodwa njengezimpawu zokungaphazamisi
Can’t knock it if I see it’s ’bout the dough
– Angikwazi ukuyishaya uma ngibona ukuthi ‘ kumayelana nenhlama
They instigate the fuckery because it’s profitable
– Ziqhakambisa ubuqili ngoba buzuzisa
But singin’ “stop the violence” tunes when dudes in hospitals
– Kodwa ukuhlabelela “yekani ubudlova” izingoma lapho abafana ezibhedlela
I pulled the plug because I’ve seen where that was ’bout to go
– Ngikhiphe ipulagi ngoba ngiye ngabona ukuthi lokho kwakuzoya kuphi
They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow
– Babefuna igazi, babefuna ukuchofoza ukuze benze amaphakethe akhule
They see this fire in my pen and think I’m dodgin’ smoke
– Babona lo mlilo epeni lami futhi bacabanga ukuthi ngiyakugwema ukubhema
I wouldn’t have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro
– Ngangingeke ngilahlekelwe impi ,awg, ngangizolahlekelwa umfowethu
I woulda gained a foe, and all for what? Just to attain some mo’
– Ngangizothola isitha, futhi konke ngenxa yalokho? Ukuze nje uthole i-mo’
Props from strangers that don’t got a clue what I been aimin’ for?
– Izesekeli ezivela kubantu engingabazi abangenalo nhlobo ulwazi lokuthi ngangihlose ini?
Since the age of fourteen, Jermaine is no king
– Kusukela eneminyaka eyishumi nane, Ujermaine akayena inkosi
If that means I gotta dig up dirt and pay the whole team
– Uma lokho kusho ukuthi kumelwe ngimbe ukungcola bese ngikhokhela lonke iqembu
Of algorithm-bot niggas just to sway the whole thing
– Ama-algorithm-bot niggas ukuze nje athonye yonke into
On social media, competin’ for your favorable memes
– On media social, ukuncintisana ‘ for memes yakho evumayo
To be considered best or live and rest? The weight of both things
– Ukuba kubhekwe njengokuhle kakhulu noma ukuphila nokuphumula? Isisindo sazo zombili lezi zinto
I understand the thirst of being first that made ’em both swing
– Ngiyaqonda ukuthi ukoma kokuba ngowokuqala okwabenza bobabili bashaya
Protecting legacies, so lines got crossed, perhaps regrettably
– Ukuvikela amafa, ngakho kwawela imigqa, mhlawumbe ngokudabukisayo
My friends went to war, I walked away with all they blood on me
– Abangane bami baya empini, ngahamba nabo bonke ababegcwele igazi kimi
Now some will discredit me, try wipe away my pedigree
– Manje abanye bayongidumaza, bazame ukusula uhlu lozalo lwami
But please, find a nigga out that’s rappin’ this incredibly, uh
– Kodwa ngicela, thola umuntu omnyama odlala i-rap ngendlela emangalisayo, uh
My dawg texted me, I’ll share the words he said to me
– I -awg yami yangithumelela imiyalezo, ngizokwabelana ngamazwi awasho kimi
“If you refuse to shoot the gun, don’t mean the gun ain’t deadly,” uh
– “Uma wenqaba ukudubula isibhamu, ungasho ukuthi isibhamu asibulali,” uh
I guess in that metaphor, hypothetically, the gun is me
– Ngicabanga ukuthi kulesosifaniso, ngokombono, isibhamu singimi
I text him back like, “Guess a gun ain’t what I’m tryna be, my nigga”
– Ngimthumelela umyalezo othi, ” Qagela ukuthi isibhamu asiyona into engiyiyo tryna, nigga yami”
They strip me of my spot, and now I’m finally free, my nigga
– Bangikhumula indawo yami, futhi manje sengikhululekile, nigga wami
They say I’m pickin’ sides, ayy, don’t you lie on me, my nigga
– Bathi ngikhetha uhlangothi, ayy, awungiqambeli amanga, nigga wami
Then start another war, ayy, Drake, you’ll always be my nigga
– Khona-ke start enye impi, ayy, Drake, uyohlale uyiniga yami
I ain’t ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my nigga
– Anginamahloni okusho ukuthi ungenzele okuningi, nigga wami
Fuck all the narratives
– Fuck zonke izindaba
Tappin’ back into your magic pen is what’s imperative
– Ukubuyela emuva epeni lakho lomlingo yilokho okubalulekile
Remindin’ these folks why we do it, it’s not for beefin’
– Khumbuza laba bantu ukuthi kungani sikwenza, akukhona okwenyama yenkomo
It’s for speakin’ our thoughts, pushin’ ourselves, reachin’ the charts
– Kungenxa yokukhuluma imicabango yethu, ukuzikhuthaza, ukufinyelela amashadi
Reaching your minds, deep in your heart, screamin’ to find
– Ukufinyelela ezingqondweni zakho, ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yakho, ukumemeza ukuze uthole
Emotions to touch, somethin’ inside to open you up
– Imizwelo yokuthinta, okuthile ngaphakathi ukukuvula
Help you cope with the rough times and shit
– Ukukusiza ubhekane nezikhathi ezinzima nezinto ezimbi
I’m sendin’ love ’cause we ain’t promised shit
– Ngithumela ‘uthando’ ngoba asithenjisiwe
My nigga
– Umnyama wami
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me (Damn)
– Nina nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli (Damn)
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me (Y’all niggas)
– Y ‘all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me (Y ‘all niggas)
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me
– Nonke nina bantu abamnyama ningangivimbeli
Y’all niggas ain’t stoppin’ me

Y’all niggas ain’t
