[English]

Rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

A mothafuckin' rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I do my own thing when the phone rings

Maybe I'll answer, maybe I'm busy (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I want some next shit

I got connections

Only speak to people I wanna speak to

Sophisticated, fokken larney

Nutella on my sarmie

Fokken dik gesmeer, bra

I shop at Woolworths

With my own paper, eh, flava

When I recite a poem

On the fuckin' microphone (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo Yolandi)

I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

A mothafuckin' rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo Yolandi)

I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

A mothafuckin' rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Wasn't always a rich bitch

Used to be a poor girl

Ag, shame, die arme meisie

Ek wassie wysie (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I was a victim of a kak situation

Stuck in the system

With no fokken assistance

I know it sounds strange

But I used to count change

On the counter at pick 'n pay

Or Shoprite-Checkers

No butter on my broodjie

Geen koeldrank nie, net my strootjie

But then I got my game on

Yo flame on (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Now I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

A mothafuckin' rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

A mothafuckin' rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

To all my mense

In a tight situation

Getting closer to god

Do you hear that?

I flow from the heart

Fuck the upperclass

Versigtig, ek's nog steeds fokken giftig

Yo, fuck a rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

A mothafuckin' rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

Rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

I'm a rich bitch (yo yo yo yo)

A mothafuckin' rich bitch (yo yo yo Yo-Landi)

Eh

Sk sk

Kyk hie'

DJ Hi-Tek

Fokkit

Wha, wha

Wha, wha, wha, wha
