    Oh yeah! This the time for Boom Shaka
    No need to boo me
    It can do something for you
    ‘Cause yeah, Thè is the place and I’m gonna kick the roster
    I break it, I kick, I hit, hard yeah
    That’s how Boom Shaka does yeah
    Ah! Aha! Check check this out
    I’m a soul
    The radical
    The typical
    The extra-ordinary woman
    Phenomenal
    My weapon is my word
    And I’m pissed like that yoh
    I’m pissed like that yoh
    I’m pissed like that yoh
    Aha! Don’t let people ever tell you to do what, (yeah)
    Ask for something in nothing and nothing goes to you
    You’ve got to cease the needs that disease with ease
    And lets get busy yoh with my gift
    What you think about this Lebo
    (About what Thembi?)
    Bringing young African rap, Lebo
    You know their lies and their big yap cause
    And the rhymes that I get from the caricatures they sketch
    When I step in their area they’re always scared
    So, what’s up Lebo?
    (Oh yeah! The way you tell me is the way it is Thembi
    They way you tell me is the way it is Thè Thè)
    [Chorus - Lebo Mathosa]
    It's about time
    To listen to boom Shaka
    It's about time
    To listen to boom Shaka
    It's about time
