Too many go toktoktok say I’m late Wanna steal keys go run and keep gate Talk about love but only bring the hate [who’s Alexander?] this here too great! Had to put my foot down, dem folks don’t believe me Suffered the cold cold and made it through the season Life in the grey tones, I’m destined for the gold Time in the four four just to let em breathe it So far dem are leaning Next I go take it home and get it real dreamy Put it in zone zone, my brada you go see me You just wanna say something Always wanna toktoktok These days ke bogale, o kare o tshwerwe ke mala Got the stress in ya belly, got the feeling it’s karma Ka bua le Modimo, a nthaya a re, “heela, kwala” Said “look at your skin, my boi, that’s armour Ha ke gola ba nclowna, ba sa rate Batswana Now they want the flava, that’s drama Nna ke tlile ka nako, ke tlile ka nako [that’s the one] Too many go toktoktok say I’m late Wanna steal keys go run and keep gate Talk about love but only bring the hate [who’s Alexander?] this here too great!
