The song sees K.O. in a darker state of mind, getting a lot of things off his chest, from people that have turned on him after he “gave them a name”, some unnamed someone who “is not even a real Dj” who thinks Cara-Cara (K.O.s number one hit) was a fluke, this song as the title says is a fair warnin...
[Intro]
A little warning, a little warning, ?????, ??????
[Verse 1]
All they wanna do is take, take, take, take, take, take
Man I think I've been humble for too long, it's better to bury the past and just move on
Matter of fact k'dala ng'gudla since way, way, way, way, way forgiveness is out of the window, I'm too scorned, know you see me doing better with you gone
There's no use investing your time and energy on someone you think will be loyal, the devil has a way to get to the people you close to, you just got to tell it how it is, ain't no need to be diplomatic, ain't no need to be noble, as soon as you give them a name, as soon as soon as you give them some change, these people will show you, all of their true colours
What the fuck I was thinking extending my hand to some people I wasn't even supposed to, my ambitions of being a mogul, my ambitions of being a mogul, now every platform they get on they seek to destroy, chatty petty shit, you dragging my name through the mud when these folks in the media probe you, you feeling emotional whoa!
[Chorus]
Make sure you you keep it clean when you mention my name, don't cross the line, you'll pay the price for it, you'll pay the price for it, I'm willing to die for it
Make sure you you keep it clean when you mention my name, don't cross the line, you'll pay the price for it, you'll pay the price for it, I'm willing to die for it
[Verse 2]
CRTL, ALT, DELETE the game needs a restart we gotta reboot, outie yam it's a war going on outside, don't fall for the lies they tryna feed you, let em know I'm a one man army, no more putting my faith in other people
Skhanda God they don't make em like me no more, lana izinj' eyfana nami ziy-few, they can never walk a mile in these shoes
You totally out of your mind, cabang' ukuthi iCara-Cara ibiy-fluke?
You ain't even a real Dj, but my dick is on your lips these days, boy why you gotta be this way?
Heard you got a lot of shit to say, ubusy ngeyindaba zabantu ngathi ihashe lakukhahlela isfuba
Ngeke uz' uymele mangqala ngiysusa, mangqala ngiysusa, I'm a legend already ngoba lento kudala ngiy tshuna, aw kudala ngiytshuna
Yek' ipolitiki joe unama issues ekse, mina mawungzela ngoshidi ngzokubamba ngesdudla, ekse?
I'm plotting and I'm scheming on a whole lot of names I wanna remove, ningomafikizolo kulegame, you made a bit of money kodwa manje sesishayelwa iythupha, bon ngoba ngiyintwan' e-peaceful? The audacity of some of these fools, they tryna get rid of me, but I see through all that, this is a warning
[Chorus]
Make sure you you keep it clean when you mention my name, don't cross the line, you'll pay the price for it, you'll pay the price for it, I'm willing to die for it
Make sure you you keep it clean when you mention my name, don't cross the line, you'll pay the price for it, you'll pay the price for it, I'm willing to die for it
[Refrain]
Ukufika kwami lana wasn't easy by the way, by the way yeah, yeah
Nothing is promised, sometimes you winning, and sometimes you losing whenever I'm taking an L doesn't mean that I'm defeated by the way
I know it hurts your heart to see me shining like this, like this, believe me every second every minute, I'm gonna make you feel it. (my heart is bleeding for you)
[Outro: Nelson Mandela]
I hated oppression, and when I think about the past, the type things they did, I feel angry, you have a limited time to stay on earth, you must try and use that period for the purpose of transforming your country in to what you desire it to be
