AKA ☆ Congratulate

[Sample:]

On the couch. On the floor. On the bed, on the door, I want more, here we go…now congratulate me!! [x2]



[Verse 1:]

Starts out with a pipe dream

White Tee and an ice cream

All day on MySpace

MJ trying to buy face

I had to pay dues, had to make moves on faith

Even got booed off stage

Trying to put food on plate, dropped a couple jewels on tape

Now we got views on Base

So much love, Trust funds and Gazlam

Bad chick in my address, she showing up with that plus one

Through depths and peaks, won’t stress the SHEETS [?]

Better protect the key, while I pen this acceptance speech



Do you see what it took? Is it clearer?

Who you see when you look in the mirror?

All the dreams and fantasies that come together

How we shining like the diamond that’s forever



[Hook:]

Now congratulate me [x8]



[Verse 2:]

Now this is the moment I’ve been waiting for my whole life

Didn’t believe it til I seen it with my own eyes

Imma need a black tux and a bow tie

Double cup white chucks and a strobe light

Niggas had bad luck when they roll dice

The number add up and they don’t lie

Showtime, my bread butter on both sides

Take it to the champagne from the Morvite

Now everybody come on! [Bob Mabena impersonation]

Aw bula Boot (Aw’ bula boot!)

JC le Roux (aw bona!)

That’s all I think about, sitting up in my room (sitting up in my room)

Aw kuze kuse! (Aw kuze kuse)

Aw gin and juice (Aw gin and juice)

It’s all coming back to me, like dejavu!



[Sample/Hook:]

Now congratulate me [x8]



[Verse 3:]

Think back to my old days

All I wanted was a gold chain

So stuck in my old ways, now we all household names

What you know what sacrifice, flashing flights, rites of passage to bragging rights?

Bad romances, packs of pampers, and this ain’t time to be camera shy

My one homie got a gun in the cupboard

My other homie got a bun in the oven

Baby mama getting big in the stomach

Pop champagne on the four cousins

I think it’s time to be a man now

I feel like moving to my gran’s house

Everybody lined up for a handout

Really I just wanna make my old man proud



Do you see what it took? Is it clearer?

Who you see when you look in the mirror?

All the dreams and fantasies that come together

How we shining like the diamond that’s forever



[Sample/Hook:]

Now congratulate me!! [x8]
