Lyrics and translation Fid Q - Sumu
Aliyeniumba
alinipa
mdomo
hivo
n'na
haki
kuongea
The
one
who
created
me
gave
me
a
mouth
so
I
have
the
right
to
speak
Hii
bahati
meotea,
safi
kamwe
siachi
kui-share
This
luck
I
came
across,
pure,
I'll
never
stop
sharing
it
Hamtaki
niwe
fair,
trust
me
man
huwa
happy
nki-care
You
don't
want
me
to
be
fair,
trust
me
man,
I'm
always
happy
when
I
care
Naona
watachosema
mshkaji
uko
smart
upstairs
I
see
what
they'll
say,
man,
you're
smart
upstairs
Usiache
kuongea,
usiache
we
ni
incharge
huna
spare
Don't
stop
talking,
don't
stop,
you're
in
charge,
you
have
no
spare
Kipaji
ka'
Ngwair,
mapaji
ka'
bahati
aliowagea
Ngwair's
talent,
the
talents
of
luck,
the
one
who
shared
them
Flag
pepea,
hitaji
zaidi
ya
maji
na
mmea
Raise
the
flag,
a
need
beyond
water
and
plants
Ilikuwaje
wa
muache
hadi
mshkaji
ulaji
wa
drugs
ukamzoea
How
was
it
that
you
let
him
be
until
the
man
got
used
to
drugs?
Tunamoka
ili
kusafiri
kihisia
We
smoke
to
travel
emotionally
Au
kufoka
pia
ikitoka
ukaisikia
huwezi
toka
au
ukitose
kuingia
Or
to
vent
too
if
it
comes
out
and
you
hear
it
you
can't
get
out
or
if
you
throw
to
enter
Kinachochosha
nia,
ni
kosa
ulichojua
utapatia
What's
tiring
my
mind
is
the
mistake
you
knew
you'd
get
Nawachota
kihisia,
nasota,
je
inatosha
fidia
I'm
drawing
them
emotionally,
I'm
struggling,
is
the
compensation
enough?
Shibe
ya
mdau
hainilazi
njaa
sababu
mganga
yupo
juu
The
satisfaction
of
the
stakeholder
doesn't
make
me
hungry
because
the
healer
is
above
Nafurahi
ambavyo
wadau
wakimuona
star
wanalamba
miguu
I'm
happy
the
way
the
stakeholders
see
him
as
a
star,
they
lick
his
feet
Asiye
nihitaji
simuhitaji,
kamwe
simuachi
aje
azinzi
I
don't
need
the
one
who
doesn't
need
me,
I'll
never
let
him
come
and
cheat
Bandidu
kama
tsotsi
sipigi
goti
ka'
PNC
A
bandit
like
a
thief,
I
don't
kneel
like
PNC
Hakuna
ambae
hakosi,
labda
kwa
There's
no
one
who's
not
wrong,
perhaps
for
Yangu
self
esteem
haitoki
ka'
ripoti
za
TMZ
My
self-esteem
doesn't
come
out
like
TMZ
reports
Na
hainizuii
nsile
mkate,
kwa
kuhofia
kiungulia
And
it
doesn't
stop
me
from
eating
bread,
for
fear
of
heartburn
Na
u-Emcee
hauniachi,
huniangalia
ka
And
being
an
Emcee
doesn't
leave
me,
it
looks
at
me
like
Ka'
Bruce
Lee
hizi
karate,
ntakupigia
utaishia
Like
Bruce
Lee
these
karate,
I'll
hit
you,
you'll
end
up
Na
sinto
sita
kusema
ahsante
au
kuwasifia
mkinisaidia
And
I
won't
say
thank
you
or
praise
you
if
you
help
me
Washkaji
baadhi
hawana
haki
ya
kui-pressure
hii
medulla
Some
friends
have
no
right
to
pressure
this
medulla
Wako
radhi
kukupa
pombe
na
siyo
pesa
ya
kula
They're
willing
to
give
you
alcohol
and
not
money
to
eat
Nawaona
vyura
tu
kama
Snura,
hii
sura
ya
mhuni
haina
kwere
I
see
frogs
only
like
Snura,
this
greedy
face
has
no
shame
Anavaa
suti
mtaani,
nyumbani
kunguni
tele
He
wears
a
suit
in
the
streets,
at
home
there
are
many
pots
Kwa
magonjwa
yanayotibika
tunapoteza
maisha,
Huruma
For
treatable
diseases
we're
losing
lives,
Huruma
Tunachanga
kwenye
msiba
ukifa,
hawajali
ukiumwa
We
contribute
to
the
funeral
when
you
die,
they
don't
care
if
you're
sick
Au
wanaweza
wakahisi
umekufa
kwa
kukutwa
umezirai
Or
they
might
think
you're
dead
if
you're
found
unconscious
Usipo
sh'tuka
Afrika
unaweza
kuzikwa
ukiwa
hai
If
you
don't
wake
up
Africa
you
can
be
buried
alive
Sumu,
Sumu
Poison,
Poison
Haumuui
chura
kwa
kumtupa
ndani
ya
maji
You
don't
kill
a
frog
by
throwing
it
in
the
water
Ukinizuga
kwa
ulaji,
nakupa
fact
kwa
lugha
ya
kishkaji
If
you're
cheating
me
on
food,
I'm
giving
you
facts
in
slang
Unataka
vitu
rahisi,
mi'
nawapa
vitu
halisi
You
want
easy
things,
I'm
giving
you
real
things
Utata
unamtaka
ibilisi,
na
siyo
bi
kaka
ka'
Idris
The
complexity
you
want
the
devil,
not
the
brother
like
Idris
Mr.
Nice
jua
la
utosi
na
mtaa
unakiu
ile
mbaya
Mr.
Nice,
the
sun
on
the
head
and
the
street
is
thirsty,
really
bad
Hawamsupport,
isipokuwa
anawapromote
aliowa-inspire
They
don't
support
him,
except
he
promotes
those
he
inspired
Wakati,
___
sio
kama
Mox,
Stosh
hakupaswa
kumgwaya
Time,
___
is
not
like
Mox,
Stosh
shouldn't
have
swayed
him
Lakini,
mzee
bila
noti
ni
zaidi
ya
Nyoshi
akiwa
vibaya
But,
an
old
man
without
money
is
worse
than
Nyoshi
when
he's
in
bad
shape
I
didn't
come
this
far,
just
to
come
this
far
I
didn't
come
this
far,
just
to
come
this
far
Siwezi
sanda
kama
bikra
hata
nikiishi
ki-star
I
can't
be
a
shroud
like
a
virgin
even
if
I
live
like
a
star
Maisha
hayakupi
unachotaka
ila
yanakupa
unachotafuta
Life
doesn't
give
you
what
you
want,
but
it
gives
you
what
you're
looking
for
Pesa
sadaka,
wazushi
wanaivuta
kwa
Money
donation,
gossipers
are
pulling
it
for
Binadamu
wako
wapi
mnanitoa
mie
nsiwemo
Where
are
your
humans,
you're
taking
me
out,
I'm
not
there
Leo
nawapa
ofa
ya
mswaki
afu
kesho
mnaning'oa
meno
Today
I'm
giving
you
a
toothbrush
offer
and
tomorrow
you're
pulling
out
my
teeth
Oyoooo.
time
is
money
nafasi
haijali
kuzuga
Oyoooo.
Time
is
money,
opportunity
doesn't
care
about
cheating
Wema
anataka
saa
ya
almasi
zari
anaujali
muda
Wema
wants
a
diamond
watch,
Zari
cares
about
time
Washa
sana
nyasi,
rasta
ogopa
fast
futa
Light
up
the
grass,
Rasta,
be
afraid
fast
delete
Wanashindwa
kujinafasi
kwa
unafiki
nafsi
zinawasuta
They
fail
to
position
themselves
for
hypocrisy,
souls
are
reprimanding
them
Wabongo
wa
majuu
hamna
upendo,
mnajigawa
Immigrant
Tanzanians,
there's
no
love,
you're
dividing
yourselves
Ubongo
hauna
miguu
lakini
skendo
zina
mabawa
The
brain
has
no
legs
but
scandals
have
wings
Aliyemtia
umasikini
Afrika
leo
analia
kwa
yanayomsibu
The
one
who
impoverished
Africa
is
now
crying
over
what's
happening
to
him
Na
hutangaza
akimpa
msaada
kiasi
cha
kumtia
aibu
And
he's
announcing
that
he's
giving
him
an
embarrassing
amount
of
help
Dunia
siyo
chafu
ni
chafu
uchafu
tukiutazama
The
world
is
not
dirty,
it's
dirty
dirt
when
we
look
at
it
Sumu
ndani
ya
watu,
na
ndiyo
hapohapo
tunapokwama
Poison
inside
people,
and
that's
where
we
get
stuck
Hawaamini
kwenye
kuunda
Diamond
au
Kiba
wawili
They
don't
believe
in
creating
two
Diamonds
or
Kiba
Wanachoamini
ni
kumshusha
mmoja
ili
mmoja
awe
dili
What
they
believe
in
is
bringing
down
one
so
that
one
is
the
deal
Cha
kupewa
hakishibishi
ukipewa
lazima
ukumbushwe
What
is
given
is
not
enough,
if
you
are
given
it
must
be
reminded
Dunia
mwendo
wa
ngisi,
kung'aa
sio
lazima
star
ashushwe
The
world
is
a
squid
walk,
shining
is
not
necessary
for
a
star
to
be
brought
down
Ukiacha
hisia
zikuendeshe,
kwa
ujeuri
utaishia
kufeli
If
you
let
your
emotions
drive
you,
you'll
end
up
failing
with
arrogance
Sababu
neno
la
ukweli
sio
zuri
na
neno
zuri
halina
ukweli
Because
the
word
of
truth
is
not
good
and
the
good
word
has
no
truth
Ntasahau
vyote,
milele
ntamkumbuka
aliyeniumba
I'll
forget
everything,
I'll
always
remember
the
one
who
created
me
Na
daily
ntakaa
mkao
wa
pusha
tu
kama
Umbwa
And
daily
I'll
sit
and
push
like
a
dog
