And I know life don’t make no sense
You only gat one shot, one chance
Gotta get the bag, and I blow it on the Benz
I only gat God, family and my friends

Now my wrist look weighty, too timeless
And my Monalisa, the finest
‘Cause where I’m heading, the highest

I wanna be a baller
Charge a hundred dough for a photo
Call on me downfall—-
Made it this far—-
The pressure is getting worser and worse (The pressure is getting worser)
Tchokolo na ngaze le ba le ma maza loka
A sothe’a, nofa na ke las, nofa na lke
Better make 2-step don’t come near me
My energy, far from cheap
I’m a G
I’m a King
