Lyrics When I Started - Mwai

(Mwai Te, Mwai Te)
(What's up my guy, you know what I'm so proud of the man you've become)
(I've seen this vision from, from grade-, from ahah, from primary school, from kindergarten until now)
(I'm so proud of the man that you've become Mwai, and I'm really proud of the way you're pushing for your music)
(I'd just like you to keep continuing going forward and doing what you love, I see you love your music
Keep focused, don't get derailed by things that are happening today with the youth, of drinking and drugs and all of that)
(I just want you to concentrate and push and keep your music going forward)
(I'm so proud of you and I just wish nothing but the best)
(Can't wait to be standing behind the stadium filled with Mwai's shows)
(Keep pushing my boy, keep pushing)
(I love your music, we listen to it all the time and we'll keep supporting the movement)

Yeah
They ain't show me love when I started
They ain't show me love when I started
Now I made it up this far, now they wanna ask me how
Remember I was on my own, tell me why they love me now

They ain't show me love when I started
They ain't show me love when I started
So I did this on my own, 'cause they left me all alone
Now they see I'm going up, they wan' act like they're my bro

They were doing this without me
I remember all them days they used to doubt me
Now they just wanna fuck with me for the clout B
But when I was by myself, they ain't wanna give me help

So I had to dig real deep in my heart
So I had to dig real deep in my soul
From the start I knew that I would take the throne
Had my people by my side, but I did this on my own

They ain't show me love when I started
They ain't show me love when I started
Now I made it up this far, now they wanna ask me how
Remember I was on my own, tell me why they love me now

They ain't show me love when I started
They ain't show me love when I started
So I did this on my own, 'cause they left me all alone
Now they see I'm going up, they wan' act like they're my bro
