Die Antwoord (Afrikaans for "The Answer") is a South African rap-rave group formed in Cape Town in 2008. The group was formed by rappers Ninja and Yolandi Visser (stylized as ¥O-LANDI VI$$ER), and God (formerly referred to as DJ Hi-Tek). Die Antwoord's image is based on a counterculture movement known as zef in South Africa.

F#m I, I, I, I am your butterfly D I need your protection, be my samurai A I, I, I, I am your butterfly, E I need your protection, need your protection
F#m I'm a ninja, yo, my life is like a videogame D I maintain when I'm in the zone, One player one life on the mic I'm in the dark
A Yo, ninja, go
No fuckin around I'm cutting down E Anyone in my path Tryna fuck up my game with razor sharp lyrical throw stars Killin' my foes like
F#m Hos! Ska!
Wild, outta control D Ninja skop befokte rof taal Rough rhymes, tough times A Met fokkol kos, skraal Till I hit triple seven at the ATM E Straight famine or feast, When you're living on the razor edge Stay sharp, sharp F#m Rolling with the $O$ High energy Never seen zef so fresh D Uh, when we mic check A Hi-def flow's flex Yo we aren't the messed up E Not fucking the best We not like the rest F#m My style is UFO Totally unknown D You can't fuck with my new Zef flow I'm hard to miss "You can't do this, you can't do that" A Yo, fuckin' who said so? I do what I like Too hot to handle, too cold to hold E You can't fuck with the chosen one I-I-I want the knife I'm a Ninja
Hook (F#mDAE) x2
Ninja is poes cool But don't fuck with my game Boy or I'll poes you Life is tough When I get stuck When my time is up I push through Till I break-break-break on through to the other side Fantastically poor with patience like a stalker
Ninja is hardcore Been cut so deep, feel no pain It's not sore Don't ask for kak or You'll get what you ask for I'm like a wild animal in the corner Waiting for the break of dawn Trying to get through the night Just a man with the will to survive
My blade swing free Decapitate a hater with amazing ease This is not a game, boy Don't play with me I work my light sabre like a wild fucking savage from the dark side danger
Yin to the yang Totally Hi-Tek Ninjas Motherfucking big in Japan I seen the future, but I never got nothing in my hand Except a microphone, big dreams and a plan Fly-talking, sky-walking Like a ninja
Hook x2
Fuck, this is like The coolest song I ever heard in my whole life Fuck all of you who said I wouldn't make it Who said I was a loser They said I was a no-one They said I was a fuckin' psycho But look at me now: All up on the interweb World-wide, 2009 Futurista Enter the ninja Yolandi Visser DJ Hi-Tek Die fokken Antwoord
