[Verse 1: Kwesta]
Bathi isina muva liyabukwa
Ongafuni uksuka siyamgudla
Uyazi vele siyabududul' ende futh les'gubhu sikhuthuza amaGupta Mhm! Kukhala ban, kukhala ban, ukhala ngani
Ungijwayela blind uhlala namanan' aphansi
Uphalafala, ujakalasi, inkalakatha
Nginja yekasi, uVan Damme yintwana yami
Nxa! hhayi bowuthini
Kanti awazi ziwa le lokshini
Sthing-thing sase Sandton-i
Inja ipheth' uWale egontshini
[Pre-Chorus: Kwesta]
Uzongithol' ekasi lam ke ke ke ke
Ngi-chilile ngiphethe ezinye zam ke ke ke ke
Zirhinile socova kwasan ke ke ke ke
Socova kwasan, socova kwasan
S'jimile awu phela nezam s'bekezele
S'bekezele, s'bekezele
[Chorus: Kwesta]
Awu mpintshi Spirit
Ungaphel' umoya saan, ntwana yam
Spirit
Aw ngisho wena, aw ngisho wena, ntwana yam
Spirit
Ay wena, aibo, ngisho wena
Spirit

[Verse 2: Wale]
All I get is money talking hundred, hundred, hundred
My city say I run it 'cause I never ever fumble
Every time I sing it make the pretty women love me
I can be a poet, be your homie, be your plumber
Sunset summer, all black pullin'
I got more gas than a H3 hummer
I'm baked up really, gorilla or a grizzly
Landing Lasgidi, on the way to Surulere
Let's get it, let's get it
This shit 'bout repetition
My outfit would hit for a Conor McGregor ticket
Wale Folarin really the hardest to rep the city
100 Yoruba demons you dreaming of messing with me
Let's
[Pre-Chorus: Kwesta]
Uzongithol' ekasi lam ke ke ke ke
Ngi-chilile ngiphethe ezinye zam ke ke ke ke
Zirhinile socova kwasan ke ke ke ke
Socova kwasan, socova kwasan
S'jimile awu phela nezam s'bekezele
S'bekezele, s'bekezele
[Chorus: Kwesta]
Awu mpintshi Spirit
Ungaphel' umoya saan, ntwana yam
Spirit
Aw ngisho wena, aw ngisho wena, ntwana yam
Spirit
Ay wena, aibo, ngisho wena
Spirit
Spirit
Spirit
[Outro: Kwesta]
