[Intro]
Huh
Yeah
[Chorus]
Keep hatin' on me, love the way that I freak it
Keep hatin' on me
[Verse 1]
Ja
It's a rite of passage in a different language
We speak organic, I can't speak Hispanic
From the deep Atlantic where the scene's dramatic, don't eat my salad
Naaier leave the bank, with no bandwidth and no internet
Gham alphabet, autocorrect, saw a silhouette of Juliette but Romeo went vrek by the bayonet
And that's the gham behavior, become a failure
A rough teenager, it's the coloured nature
The words I speak will disturb the peace
I don't chill with sheep (why) cause I'm a wildebeest (Ha!)
And you a prom date in the wrong place
But in the far Cape you must translate (Ja)
Cause you a wannabee and that's what I can't take (haha)
You very sterk gevriet but not strong faced (Jy naaier!)
Cock, bang, you get a taai klap
Gham Chinese writing, it's a mindfuck
Despite the hype you got dried up
And soon white guys will speak like us
I couldn't be happier, breaking the barriers
Pay respect back when using our vernacular
Vulture, you scavenger taking our character
My grammar's actually natural
[Bridge]
Yeah, I speak Gham
Look at the style that I brung
Look what the game has become
Yeah, we speak Gham
A voice that we gave to the young
Don't matter if we ain't number one
Still speak Gham
The rise of the Cape has begun
Com' on now slavery's done
Still speak Gham
To the stars and the moon and the sun
My tongue is a powerful gun
And it speak Gham
[Chorus]
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it
Yeah, I speak Gham
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it (huh)
Yeah, I speak Gham
[Verse 2]
I'm just striking while the iron's hot (Bah!)
Talk is cheap that's why you lie a lot
Get off the corner after 5 o'clock
Because you might just hear our ghetto dialogue (Hoes!)
And I speak the lingo, I am not a gringo
I was watching weed grow from my kitchen window
And I have the stories if you want that info
Cause I knew the skollies who were stealing pin codes
The streets is ruined but we equal to it
Our slang is useful and I speak it fluent
With the g'est unit, got the smoothest pubics
Got the juice and fluid and my dreams are lucid
But the birthdays was the worst days
Now we celebrating my wordplay (Hoppa!)
Moenie praat as ek n verse skryf
I'm a rattlesnake I make the earth quake
Gie jou purse hie, I don't persuade
Emandien was my surname
But my initials say R.R cause I was more drawn to my grandpa
But my ou left a legacy of success and prosperity
Now I'm following in those footsteps
Except I got a rude bek and that's....
[Bridge]
Yeah, I speak Gham
Look at the style that I brung
Look what the game has become
Yeah, we speak Gham
A voice that we gave to the young
Don't matter if we ain't number one
Still speak Gham
The rise of the Cape has begun
Com' on now slavery's done
Still speak Gham
To the stars and the moon and the sun
My tongue is a powerful gun
And it speak Gham
[Chorus]
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it
Yeah, I speak Gham
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it
Yeah, I speak Gham
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it
Yeah, I speak Gham
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it
Yeah, I speak Gham
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it
Yeah, I speak Gham
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I freak it
You keep hatin' on me, but you luv the way that I speak it
Yeah, I speak Gham
