S to the R to the 3
(Welcome to the planet)
Yeah
Sure

[Verse]
Ng’shay’ islolo for real for all the things that they denied us
S’yegroundin eksen syojimel’ ama-final
My ambitions as a rider
Ngiginq’ inyamazane ng’byel’ endlin’ with the title
Now we’re sitting in the diner nale-scheme that I will die for
Yimina la u-Messiah and it’s just me and my disciples
Fed’ Izinja ‘zo-decide-a how we finna split the piе up
Ikati be’lel’ ezik’ and I providеd, uh
It’s feeling like the scriptures in the Bible
Judas asimding’ uzos’ divide-a, uzos’ divide-a
Ngifundil’ I’m a survivor
EMjibha la mubhayiza impintshi zeyimbayi are quick to get beside ya
Vel’ iy’bra eyiningi mawune styl-a
Snininin’ ubon’ alusaphendulw’ ucingo when you dial up, damn, mmh
S'bashiyil’ istimela aba baie
Iqhekekil’ imiz ’ emining’ ngenxa yale virus and these women abas’bhay’ la
Just think before you wife her
Your queen isazoslaiza e-bank account’ini yakh’ maz’khipha boma-minus, oh no
Ngikhule kunzima nasekhaya but I was really just inspired
By the loyalty ka magriza to i-tyma
I been a womanizer, ngigijim’san’ ney’nsaiza
Really living by the code but a family and some kids is what I strive for
Ey’ning ziyang’ idolize’a
Nina nizam’ uku maiza that I’m GOATed
Truth is i’m a king and I’m an idol
Self esteem is even high, awungenzi niks maw’ng’criticize’a
The flow will give you the chills, usangay’feel-a naku spinal
Ntwana it’s the big planet
Elokishin is where you find us
‘Thi ng’bafak’ ne discipline sesqal’ uk’jwayelan’
To give 'em a reminder ngiy’lomjit’ oshange Midas touch
Ugibel’ i-beat-i nami obhuqwin’ is where you wind up, aw’bhek’
You told yourself you looking slick in some designer
Ub’hlama nom’ upheth’ u-cash akusiy’ int’ ongay’ disguise-a
Vicious as I write another lyric to inspire
And everytime I lay some bars i’m steady buildin' an empire

The weight of the planet is all on my shoulders
And the name of The Planet is all on my shoulders
Ngisay ensimini ngiyophanda le-cabbage
Imali phambili there’s nothing above it
Usuka ku-zero and jump to a hunnid
Subliminal dissin', you 'bout to get punished

WeTshol’ ubatshele eSony andizi unless they gon run up the budget (Woo)
Skhanda Patrizi, ntwana bagithi
Ngithol' ingane ngay'nikeza isbongo sakithi, isbongo sakithi, uh
Shawty from PE, 'cause I been in these streets
Ngilibe ngidlal' umandlwane ney'didi
That shit is beneath me, bazoma kancane
Nokuy'buza, nokuy'buza if they really really love me
Thwele kanzim Inhliziyo yami
Doesn't even feel the same
A lot to lose, a lot to gain
The price we payin' for the fame
Mangisekho lana just remember the name
