Run Jozi (Godly) Songtext
von AKA

Started from bottom was rolling around in that Toyota bakkie
The summer is ours, I′m hungry for power, Gaddafi, Gaddafi
You turn on the tube but all that you see is Versace, Versace
You go to my school
They can't tell you shit ′bout Chris Hani, Chris Hani
This is ain't the land of the free, no propaganda machine
Handle my flag on the screen, then light a candle for 'Dibs
Then light a candle for ′Dibs

Okay, smoking the jets, smoke, smoking the jets
Smoking them like cigarettes
Takin′ it straight to the head??
Drinking Select
This is the sweetest revenge

Nkosi sikelela, thina, thina namagenge
Godly, Godly, Run Jozi, Run Jozi
(I'm holding the crown, my soldiers surround so throw in the towel)
(We come through the kitchen with owner′s permission, no photo's allowed)


My flow is so harzadous
Mfanakithi, can′t nobody handle this
I annihilated all my competition so there's no further challenges
Look, going against the authority ntwana is totally blasphemous
In a city where having no morality is totally fabulous

What′s going on with these amateurs
Over the internet posting some messages?
Next thing you know your career is over
Ntwana, over some characters
It's the juxtaposition of choosing stupidity over intelligence
Ntombazana ushishiliza ngendunu
Phansi and you're hoping for happiness

Emhlabeni k′mel′uz'bheke it′s crucial
Ubothemb'itshe than uthembe umuntu
They laugh in your face while they planning to shoot you
Bafuna nj′uk'culel′amagugu
Ng'zobamba ngo-left ngik'bambe ngo-right
Mina kleva I′ll hurt you


We outchea living that Eskom life
Yeah, we in that power circle
See all I ever wanted was a peace of mind
To speak my mind the streets are mine, yeah
I ain′t even reached my prime
Ng'sazokwenza dizzy blind
Ngisazokwenza busy blind
Aw mina ngiy′ntsimb'edl′ezinye, redefined
Just read between the lines
And when the sparks fly hope you can see the grind
See the grind, yeah

Nkosi sikelela, thina, thina namagenge
Godly, Godly, Run Jozi
Nkosi sikelela, thina, thina namagenge
Godly, Godly, Run Jozi

K'dala sibatshela ukuthi k′phethe thina la
Kodwa kungena ngapha kuphuma ngapha
Kungena ngapha kuphuma ngapha, kwenzenjani?
K'dala sibatshela ukuthi k'phethe thina la
Kodwa kungena ngapha kuphuma ngapha
Kungena ngapha kuphuma ngapha, kwenzenjani?

I′m something like Haile Selassie
Beautiful women and Jah Seed
God-speed to my competition
Fuck whatever your palm reads
I′m on the mission like foreign militia, they politicians in hot seats

Fuck with the gods
Top of the charts name a level I can't reach
Better check credentials
Petr Cech protect your temple
Do you want progress or do you want Rolex?
Better make mine presidential, influential

More gold bottles
No role-models
This whole model is fucked up and we all follow
No Gupta gate, no magistrate
Just mamis shaped like coke bottles
Bank notes falling, no foreign, no problem
Madiba faces in briefcases like Zim dollars
Say "Our father"

Nkosi sikelela, thina, thina namagenge
Godly, Godly, Run Jozi
Nkosi sikelela, thina, thina namagenge
Godly, Godly, Run Jozi
Run Jozi

K′dala sibatshela ukuthi k'phethe thina la
Run Jozi
K′dala sibatshela ukuthi k'phethe thina la
(I′m holding the crown, my soldiers surround so throw in the towel)
