[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta be evil
I laugh all way to the bank
No time to relax
I’ve got to take care of my people
We gon' live forever, my Rolex don’t got timing
Tell me history, I’m a lion, I’m a king
This a vibe, Westdene
Ride or dies on my team
[Verse 1]
Jerry Sikhosana, amapiano, M’aBuccaBucca
Dingaan Thobela, Rose of Soweto
This is the culture
Benny McCarthy, Burkina Faso
We miss you Manelow
X-ray through your energy
I don't waste time on my enemies, baby
Jеalousy come with the territory
Watеrmelon in my system
S'gidla waar, my suister?
Bring it back, madibuseng
I'm the best, what do you say?
[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta be evil
I laugh all the way to the bank
No time to relax (Yeah)
I've got to take care of my people
We gon' live forever
My Rolex don't tell time, it tell me history (Yeah)

This a vibe, this a theme, yeah
Ride or dies on my team, yeah
[Verse 2]
Left, right and center, that's how we enter
Vuka sebenza, fuck with my caddy
You can fuck with my Cambridge
Lewis Hamilton, I'm a champion
I got big dreams, noise in my head, I'ma need Disprin
Toy in the crib is a big machine
Guillotine, I'ma cut off your head
All your team players in my atmosphere
Royalties, lawyer fees, loyalty's rare
No new friends, no, no, this ain't creche, bitch
[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta be evil
I laugh all the way to the bank
No time to relax (Yeah)
I've got to take care of my people
We gon' live forever

I'm a lion, I'm a king, yeah
This a vibe, this a theme, yeah
Ride or dies on my team, yeah
[Verse 3]
Over ten years, I done paid my dues
I don't give a shit who measure
I don't play fair, only bears care about you
Every year, déjà vu
If you don't like me, what that say 'bout you?
If you want beef, I got big Wagyu
I got full cream, that's Mina Moo
Everything I do is a big fuck you
One million cash, that's déjà vu
Never Hushpuppi, tata machance-i
Mr. Bombastic, very fantastic, trust me
[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta be evil
I laugh all the way to the bank
No time to relax (Yeah)
I've got to take care of my people
We gon' live forever
My Rolex don't tell time, it tell me history (Yeah)
I'm a lion, I'm a king, yeah
This a vibe, this a theme, yeah
Ride or dies on my team, yeah
Mufasa was written by Gemini Major & AKA.
Mufasa was produced by Gemini Major.
“I came up with this hook, ‘I’m a lion, I’m a king,’ and I wanted to call the song ‘Lion King’. But I thought, ‘No. If I can call the song ‘Mufasa’ then I can use people’s own thirst for controversy against them.’ So it’s kind of a practical joke with the name of the song but the bounce of the song...
