Let Me Be

[Intro: Sample]
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry, each time
(Wait a minute I know this… what? You did this?)
Walk on by… walk on by … let me be
(Oh ho … you know what this song is saying Joe?)
(You know what this song is saying about?)
(Let me give you a sample, come on, come on, man)

[Verse 1: HHP]
Now this track is gon’ be shifted a little bit
Gon’ be talking about this makanyanes I keep dealing with
Some you might not know, some you might know them
Ha o sa relate, mate, still it’s no problem (Ok, that's cool)
See all along the aim of the song was to write an invitation for my diras and call them
Sit them down and show them
Gore Jabba o tsweletse, skill paid dues and don’t owe them anything
That’s just one of the many things
I work hard 'cause God promised me everything (For real?)
So I’ma do the merry thing
I’ma eat drink be happy let you hate on this heavy thing
'Cause you don’t wanna see a good guy prosper
Fake mobsters le a fosta, net cost us
Thinking I’m a newcomer like Coke Popstars
Have you forgotten gore I’m a top star
Come on nigga

[Chorus]
If you see me walking down the street
(Cool calm puffing a cigarette)
If you see me walking down
(Wet-e ke tsamaya ka lekeke)
Walk on by…
(Don’t think ke o tlwaela ma-ada ha o mpona ke o dwadlela m’gaga)
Walk on by…
(Kore fela ne, o ntlwaela makaka nigga)
Let me be…

[Verse 2: HHP]
Now, I dedicate this to promoters
Who mess up gigs when people came to support us (You know them, wa ba itsi)
I’m talking about those who owe us
Always ass-kissing like they know us
Truth of the matter ke gore those few owe us
Ask for dough they sing the very same old chorus
(Eish ba phulile out sponsara, now I’m paying on my own for this concerta?)
Ey, look boss, I drove from Jozi
I got two tickets and nearly ran over a donkey
I got no dough, petrol dontie
And do you know how long I’ve been smoking this stompie!?
Basically I’m saying gore re batho
We need extra money o buy'ele ngwan'a dibathu
But nah… you act like ke gashu
Thinking gore Jabba o lebetse I got you…

[Chorus]
If you see me walking down the street
(Cool calm puffing a cigarette)
If you see me walking down
(Wete, ke tsamaya ka lekeke)
Walk on by…
(Don’t think ke o tlwaela ma-ada ha o mpona ke o dwadlela m’gaga)
Walk on by…
(Kore fela o ntlwaela makaka nigga)
Let me be…

[Verse 3: Molemi]
Kere, botshelo ke sera
Don’t be too friendly ha o phela
O sa mpatla matlhale o ntse o itse gakena
Ke ngwana bokoweng ke ithuta ditsela
Ke ba bone (Bo mang, boss?)
Ba batla go nyatsa (Ba kae, nigga?)
Bantse ba otsela ba itebatsa
Keya ba jinda, la bone latla
Maru a pula, eya fafatsa, like butter
Spread it all over your bread of manna
I’m smooth bringing hits that will hit you harder
I’m a general lead an army from the gutter
From a fool’s work from a son to a father
Ke mokgwa, wa dithipa tse di botswa
Ha ba batle ho tsoma, maar ba batla go ja
Then they wonder why ke ba bitsa dikgofa
Let me eat in peace not in pieces; lefufa
Suta!

[Interlude: HHP]
Nigga, Yeses man, that was Mr. Mo Molemi bona look out
Lekoko, bogo thuba ditlhogo ngwana
Boboko, easy...

[Chorus]
If you see me walking down the street
(Cool calm puffing a cigarette)
If you see me walking down
(Wete ke tsamaya ka lekeke)
Walk on by…
(Don’t think ke o tlwaela ma-ada ha o mpona ke o dwadlela m’gaga)
Walk on by…
(Kore fela o ntlwaela makaka nigga)
Let me be…

If you see me walking down the street
(Cool calm puffing a cigarette)
If you see me walking down
(Wete ke tsamaya ka lenkeke)
Walk on by…
(Don’t think ke o tlwaela ma-ada ha o mpona ke o dwadlela m’gaga)
Walk on by…
(Kore fela o ntlwaela makaka nigga)
Let me be…

[Outro: Amo]
Eish Jabba, wa di itsi dintja tse
Ey man, they be quick to pretend, you know
And I think, you know what?
Hare kopana the best thing you can do is just to walk on by, you know
O shape okare gao nkitsi, but uh, you know
It's just one of them things man, you know...
