Watching these hard times just blink by
But Blinky told me 'Mungu halali'
Been battling feelings of 'Mungu hajali'
Blowing (Oh oh O's)
Sipping KC mnazi
Wondering- ni mgani Mungu halali?
And would you please stand up?
Feel like life lately haifikii standards
Searching for light, haven't seen sun up
Influence we be under, cause nothing adds up
Sijui kaa iko kazi but iko lazé
So weh bana
Acha i-burn ntachoma
Walk a mile in my shoes kuhepa trauma
kuna venye inasumbua kijana,
Uki-light up ntachoma
Walk a mile in my shoes kuhepa trauma
Inasumbua ki-
And Flylu* is tryna put me onto Ableton
Chopping samples,
watch cartoons with the sound off
I'm able to
Small circle- still a piece of shit
Looking for someone that could plead the fifth,
Like I didn't screw up with the able few
I roll up to escape the room, to clear the smoke
Cause in so soon,
I might be fully broken juu to be honest
I'm so difficult
Keep insulting my own conscience every time I go against it
Feel like karma's out to get me
Juu ni kama walipanga njama, get me for my tamaa,
So don't ask what I'm thinking nikishika tama
Me natamani pockets full of money,
conscience full of peace,
nights full of sleep,
genuine laughs cause you're funny
Cause God must find it funny
My life msimulizi,
never know what's right na bado simuulizi
Mulika mwizi in the valley of the shadow of death
N'mevuta mbili you can probably smell it all on my breath
I've let some love go over piece of flesh,
Lost appetite, losing weight- smoking pounds of that sess
Losing wait, running out of patience
Subdued by fate nowadays don't say shit
[Outro]
Ntachoma
Walk a mile in my shoes kuhepa
Inasumbua uh
(Nishamaliza)
Walk a mile in my shoes kuhepa trauma inasumbu ki-

[Intro]
That shashamani come for everything natamani uh
[verse 1]
Keep some weed in my drawers
Tryna chorea ma police
Fate and will are at odds
"Whoever's fastest nigga, pull up and draw"
"It's on sight"
You'd rather talk shit and scroll
It's on-site
But me I'd rather break the weed up and roll
And take flight through the lows
Nimenyanya but trust me, got clear sight
My eye on the bag, can't get to the zip
Tired but tire iko tayari, leo sidai kusip uh
Lights off, my sights on getting through the night
Smoking bomb, mask off, siezi ficha white
I smoke some loud up on the hush, that should do me right
Nachapa hio half ya jana
Nisha K.O hadi mchana juu-
[chorus]
Hii gwez ikinichapa
Ni mashada for mashida zangu
Kwa nyasi kaa Nebuchadnezzar, si kuchonga- kuchoma gwzl
Ni mashada for mashida zangu uh
Hii gwez ikinichapa
Ni mashada for mashida zangu
Kwa nyasi kaa Nebuchadnezzar, si kuchonga- kuchoma gwzl
Ni mashada for- yo
[verse 2]
I feel like
There's too much on my plate
But nimewasha mbili so, munchies my fate
Ran out of faces to put on, na
Mzae amepass the baton already
Things fall apart kaa confetti
My niggas told me
"Chin inua, gin nunua"
Niko maji, falling face first kwa greens-
"Pumua"
Jicho nyanya ducking men in blue
Jicho nyanya get me past the blues
The floor is lava, nigga- I'm grounded
Shackles on my feet, but mary mary got me out of it
So nachapa nyongi, nihepe shida na laani
That shashamani come for everything natamani juu
[Chorus]
Hii gwez ikinichapa
Ni mashada for mashida zangu
Kwa nyasi kaa Nebuchadnezzar
Si kuchonga kuchoma gwzl
Ni mashada for ma-shida zangu
Nawasha Nawaza, hii gwez ikinichapa
Ni mashada for mashida zangu
Kwa nyasi kaa Nebuchadnezzar
Si kuchonga kuchoma gwzl
Ni mashada for ma-
Ni mashada for mashida zangu

[Intro]
Check check check
Nawa-check, check, check
Mki- blek, blek, blek
Off that henn, henn, henn,
(ati weh msee umesema?)
Na nyi ni ma kuku porno
Yo
[Chorus]
If you smell the loud basi funga maskio
Nataka kupanda ngazi na sishuki mbio
Pole afande just lighting a few, nikule crisps nikiwatch cartoon
[Verse 1]
Choma mpaka uchome picha
Baadaye na hizo makesi, weh joint chunisha
Ma KC pia zinaeza chachisha
Ukisleki buda seti itaisha
Sai kaa haijawaka labda lighter inakosa
Chilli usio ila, nikiwasha ni makosa?
Seems everything just going South, Ramaphosa
Ukweli ni kaa si hizi joint ni ka quarter
Cause I'm tryna get high shosho ruka
Usiulize swali mingi kaa shash inarusha
Juu kaa Miguna staboeka, kwa mfuko ni trees nimebeba Arboretum
(kama rastaman, me hu burn up the shasha, man)
[chorus]
If you smell the loud basi funga maskio
Nataka kupanda ngazi na sishuki mbio (uh)
Pole Afande just lighting a few, nikule crips nikiwatch cartoon
Yo, If you smell the loud basi funga maskio
Nataka kupanda ngazi na sishuki mbio (uh)
Pole Afande just lighting a few, nikule crips nikiwatch cartoon
[Verse 2]
Burn up the flora, gin na ukora
Turn up ujinga, pigwa bakora
Na zimeshika, you can tell from my aura
Staki vita nikivuta vitu, please stay in order
Nmewasha ka joint kangu ka supuu
Zimeshika ni kaa nimerogwa na ma voodoo
Juu inafanya nifloat tu kama maji
Hadi ghasia flani alete mautiaji
Told them, "I'm tryna get high shosho ruka
Usiulize swali mingi hio ni shash inarusha"
Safisha rada nikiwasha udi
Nyi ni talking toka rasa, smoking grade Daudi
(Kama rastaman, me hu burn up the shasha, man
Kama Shappaman, bud fresh haijakauka sana)
[chorus]
If you smell the loud basi funga maskio
Nataka kupanda ngazi na sishuki mbio, uh
Pole afande just lighting a few, nikule crips nikiwatch cartoon
If you smell the loud basi funga maskio
Nataka kupanda ngazi na sishuki mbio uh
Si pole nani, just lighting a few, nikule crips nikiwatch cartoon

I can't maintain
Zimeshika sana, can't maintain
I can't maintain
Zimeshika sana, can't maintain
Fried like a plantain
Zimeshika sana, can't maintain
I can't maintain
Zimeshika sana, can't
Room look like a sauna again

[Intro]
Form polite mtaani na squad ya wakora flaani ata gwez kaive
Ata gwez kaive, ata gwez kaive, ata gwez ka-
[Lukorito]
Si leo I can't take your bullshit
Ata uwike kutoka pulpit
Chasing the bread na ata mursik
Anxious about the future
Slow down, pengine roll spliff
No Aberdare you lack the range, so kaa kando dear
Watch you niggas from the stars jo, ki Brother Bear
Zimeshika nimehang juu kaa chandelier
And you know it's loud, fungua bag inashangilia
Rada pia?
[Mr. Lu*]
See the blue and white, know that shit is tight
Sometimes they come disguised like a ninja in the night
But my eyes stay peeled, like I pulled an all nighter
Luko with the stash, I just pull with the lighter
B.O with the plan hustle now, ball later
Flight to Japan with my other half
She was always stuck with me through the tough times
Sand by the ocean, she's my beach
[Lukorito:]
And now I'm so out of reach
I show up, I roll up, I blow up
Pass it to the left kila mtu tryna go up
I wear all black, from a place where the sun pours
Kukata kiu wengine, but me hu smoke poa, uh
Off the gwzl feeling 'dudu makamasi'
Talking reckless no back on forth tu makasi
Weh bro iwashe toroka wasi wasi
They turn on you eventually
And stab you mgongo-
Wah? Zii!
Ni kugeukana bro? Wazi
Chumia juani niggas throwing shade
Kaa ni joint..
Kaa ni shortage joint ya chwani, either way I'm getting blazed

Wallahi sikuangi mrui
Me 'ukuanga tu munchies, labda nikiwatch vida za Kaluhi
Bag yangu ishaisha manze, nimebaki tu na ka loosie
Na huu plug wa shashamani, lately hukua na upuzi
Yo
Fungia makartel, free vybz
Fuck tribes, fuck 5- oh pole
Kidole ya katikati, 'toa chai, weh ni mluhyia kwanza' ati,
Niko lap nishashikwa shati
Man I told them like jimw@t
Juu enyewe life ni stress hio sikatai
Ndio maana manze me husema
bora uhai
Me husema-
Bora uhai
Bora uhai
Bora uhai
Juu enyewe life ni stress hio sikatai
Ndio maana manze me husema, 'sema
Bora uhai! Bora uhai! Bora you high!
Juu cheki life ni stress hio sikatai
Ndio maana manze me husema
Bora uhai
And its still duck the papaya, ficha white uki light fire
Na hucheki macho ni nyanya ,all black ndio attire
Ni kulia ama kupass kushoto
Mashada fo mashida, kaa dalili ya moto
Nko mamoshi, fuck all that old shit
Na lately sidai kukata ma ocean
So, me hu burn bush instead
Nipate nikispark the gwez
Hit moja inakubamba kaa sheck wes
Na 'akuna mpesa, I only pay cash for blaze
Only paper trail ni smoking grey
I'm in over my head, no longer afraid
Life ni stress still, sikatai
Hucheki ndio me husema bora-
Bora uhai
(bora uhai, yeah, me husema bora u-)
Bora uhai
Bora uhai
Juu enyewe life ni stress hio sikatai, ndio maana manze me husema
Bora uhai
(sema bora uhai, yeah, me husema bora u-)
Bora uhai
(sema bora uhai, yeah, me husema)
Bora you high
Enyewe life ni stress hio sikata
Manze ndio me husema
Bora uhai
