[Verse 1: AKA]
Said the boy came up too quick
Remind me to shine my trophies
Say the kid don't run this shit?
You better put down that nyaope
I had the time of my life
I'm riding round with your bitch
My dick is top of her mind
Therefore I fuck what you think
Pardon me, did I go too far?
Hot sixteen, did I go too hard?
Pop champagne get a sip too strong
Did I feel myself just a little too much?
I paved the way for these dudes
You can't take my self-esteem
If I was you I'd hate me too (Aah jealousy)
[Hook]
Big things going on le di kenelang?
It's a brand new day
Awwww shit, why you mad at us?
See them brand new J's
From the city where the crime do pay
Money on my mind all day
If you live put your hands in the sky
And wave 'em side to side
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Jealousy
[Verse 2:AKA]
Aha you talking that filthy
Needa talk more racks on racks
Rappers need to break down my history
Before you want clash on wax
Go ahead make my day
I'ma run my lane like Usain
Kool & the Gang, lames couldn't hang
If their name is Sadaam Hussein
Bang!
Show love for the Honchos of the beat
My Throne get it pronto, by the week
Club ho's on the leash, ho's on their feet
Take it outside now we all on the beach
Please, pray for my enemies
I hope they Rest In Peace
Success I guess it brings
[Hook]
Big things going on le di kenelang?
It's a brand new day
Awwww shit, why you mad at us?
See them brand new J's
From the city where the crime do pay
Money on my mind all day
If you live put your hands in the sky
And wave 'em side to side
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Jealousy
[Verse 3:AKA]
AKA came back with the fresh cut
Need to put your new shit on hold
Far as I see niggas playing catch-up
Accessories is all gold
Ahhh I rest my case
I'mma go hard every breath I take
Hoppin' out cars, looking like they from Mars
That gushesh from space
Look at my heart, spit it on 16 bars
Put it all on display
How you gon' judge?
How you gon' show no love?
We one and the same
Everything that you hate
But you love everything that I make
Say my name, say my name
You love the taste
You only raising my game, go
[Hook]
Big things going on le di kenelang?
It's a brand new day
Awwww shit, why you mad at us?
See them brand new J's
From the city where the crime do pay
Money on my mind all day
If you live put your hands in the sky
And wave 'em side to side
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Jealousy
