[Intro: Barua by Les Wanyika sample]
Barua yako nimekwisha ipata she—
Pizzo de 8town Welcome to the future baby Nani mngori, nani mngori, nani mgori sana?
[Verse 1]
Rap rhumba na chakacha We mtumwa vua chains kwanza Mi mtume wa hii culture Ka ulikwama we mtumba ulishachapa
Ala salala who hustler? Sala ndo kwanza kabla swala Dalil ama stanzas, keti chini kwanza Huwezani na hizi standards
Kimya nikibanja, sauti nikipaza Ni Ohanga toka Nyanza Tushafika Mwanza Nyerere nataja
Arusha sita saba Rada chafu bana Sina shamba London Mkoloni atahama
Pweza nikizama Pull up, pull up in the spot pot All the bunnies hop hop Namba nane top notch
Ay, dropping rivals on arrival Ay, ka umeokoka beba Bible Ay, mi hushoot bila tripod Rap G-O-D mi sijali ni disciples
[Chorus]
Rap rhumba na chakacha We mtumwa vua chains kwanza Mi mtume wa hii culture Ka ulikwama we mtumba ulishachapa
Rap rhumba na chakacha We mtumwa vua chains kwanza Mi mtume wa hii culture Ka ulikwama we mtumba ulishachapa
[Verse 2]
Gravity Don, hauwezi resist Mbona napenda walami ju mi si racist Napenda ladies though, basi twende disco Alafu nichipo, rada na the beast
Lucifer I’m lit, papi on the sheet Ntakujia hii, mama on my sleeves Papa on the street, I’m a big deal Am I Fit BIG? You know what I mean
Motherland unabonga na Aboriginal Really though, I’m knit like a Philly flow Really Pope J.P injili mode Really dope they craze me I’m really god
Mcee when I R-O-C With my J’s on Empire state I’m really HOV I create men like the gods do Look at my son, peace love but I’m strapped too
I got a gun!!
[Chorus]
Rap rhumba na chakacha We mtumwa vua chains kwanza Mi mtume wa hii culture Ka ulikwama we mtumba ulishachapa
Rap rhumba na chakacha We mtumwa vua chains kwanza Mi mtume wa hii culture Ka ulikwama we mtumba ulishachapa
[Outro]
8town Ye bana joh Uko thirsty nina maji joh Napenda manzi ana maringo Mary Jane tulimarry Ngong Shout out to the First Lady wa Papi Don The messenger Rada na the messenger The messenger Buda, rada na the messenger Mi mtume
