verse

Huyo ni fala mgani anaweka ma mng'ari
Who is this clueless person including hoops
Kwa list juu ya ferrari yeah
For the list on ferrari yeah
Ana degree au ni journalist tu juu ana list(whoop)
Does he have a degree or he's a journalist 'cause he's got a list (whoop)
Naskia wakiuliza ule boy wetu alienda wapi
I hear them asking, where did our boy go?
Amepotea ka zile mbegu watu walipanda na kanyari ye ye yeah
He's disappeared like those seeds people planted with kanyari ye ye yeah

verse

Na naskia inasemekana
And I hear it is said
Ati rap zangu hukam na mkazo na ile utamu ya reggae mama
That my raps come tight with that reggae sweetness mama
Ma ordinary wanankubali na hata watiaji hawaezi kana
Those ordinary guys have accepted it and haters can't refuse it
Kuna wale hupenda sauti yangu na iko wale husengenyana
There're those who love my voice and there are those who gossip
Mama mama
Mother mother
Kijana wako amepotea
Your son is lost
Ni maskio tu ye anatoboa huku ndugu zake wakiendelea
He's just piercing his ears while his brothers are progressing
Mwenyezi pekee anaeza muokoa kimaisha amelegea
It's only God who can help him in life he has lagged behind
Ingawa hatuoni akitoboa bado twazidi kumuombea amina
Even though we don't see him succeeding we still continue praying for him amen

verse

Yeah sionangi haja ya ufisi
I don't see the need for being a "hyena"
Sina njaa najua mpishi
I'm not hungry i know the cook
Sijai fanya kazi ya ofisi
I've never worked in an office
Sijai lala ka sijadishi
I've never slept hungry
Sijarap kitu ka kutoka '06 ivi
I haven't rapped since '06
Trust me siezi rust mimi
Trust me i can't rust

verse

Ata niache mziki miaka hamsini
Even if I leave music for like 50 years
Nikirudi bado nawacrush nyinyi
When i come back I'll still crush y'all
Niko first mi ndani ya party
I'm always first in a party
Na nguo rasmi imepigwa pasi
With official clothing that's been ironed
Hapo katikati napiga mic check
There in the middle i do a mic check
Juu niko party na niko night shift
Coz i'm in a party i'm doing night shift
Nilikuwa busy sikuwa najificha
I was busy i wasn't hiding

verse

Clearly you rappers missed your teacher
Clearly you rappers missed your teacher
Vitu mnaandika zinachoma picha
Things that you write are shameful
Nikiwish singewacha kuwafundisha
Wishing i didn't stop teaching y'all
Sauti naskia ni
The voices i hear are
Don't waste your time wishing you're too proud my baby
Don't waste your time wishing you're too proud my baby
Too proud to wish they had an easy way out
Too proud to wish they had an easy way out
Let times get tough so they remember you're a blessing
Let times get tough so they remember you're a blessing
When life is good they will forget to say
When life is good they will forget to say

verse

Naulizwa mbona niliacha mziki
I'm asked why i stopped making music
Ati nilikuwa mkali juu ya mic na namissiwa na mashabiki
That i was hot on the mic and i'm missed by fans
Niliacha game mapema hata kabla refa hajapiga firimbi
I stopped the game early even before the referee blew his whistle
Bila kwaheri ati walishtukia tu ati kuna klepto mmoja haimbi
Without a bye that people just found out one klepto ain't singing
Samahani nimepotea
I'm sorry i've been lost

verse

Shukrani kwa wale wamenifikiria
Thanks to all that thought of me
Hizo miaka zote nimekuwa missing lakini iko kitu hamjaniambia
All those years i've been missing but there's one thing you haven't told me
Kaa ningebaki bado ungekuwa na taki ya kuskia nikiwaimbia
If i had remained would you still have the need to hear me sing for you
Ama by saa hii mngekuwa mnanifanya vile mnafanya ma pioneer
Or by now you would have being treating me the same way you're treating pioneers
Story kwa media ati nimechapa niko juu ya madawa nahangaika
Stories in the media that have beat and on drugs struggling
Show ni ule jamaa aliimba 'Ada Ada' ebu come ucurtain raisie mnaija
In shows it just that guy that sang 'Ada Ada' come curtain raise for a nigerian
It's not that serious rap ni hobby
It's not that serious rap is a hobby

verse

Bila mziki bado namanga
Without music i still eat
Ingekuwa career si ningekuwa nalia kuskia ati Naija Night Nairobi
If it were a career you would have heard me lament that there're naija night in nairobi
Ambia new comer asijifeel sana we ni mgeni siku ya kwanza tunakupenda
Tell new comers not to feel themselves much you're just a visitor we will love you the first day
Ukikaa kaa tutachoka na wewe ivo ndio kuuenda
If you stay long we'll get tired of you and that's how you leave
Mi ni ule mgeni alikaa siku mbili tu
I'm that visitor that stayed for two days only
Skukaa siku mingi nikuachie nafasi ya kuchoka na mimi
I didn't stay too long to give a chance to get tired of me

outro

So now you know
So now you know

So now you know
So now you know
Beat ya Keggah
Keggah beat
So now you know
So now you know
