Hii Barua - Feat. Karma

Najua imekuwa siku mingi sana yaani nimepotea yaani lakini jo
Ni vile manze
Network ilikuwa blunder mahali nilikuwa jamaa
Sa imebidi nikae chini nikuandikie hii barua
Na-hope utaipata

Asante kwa mafans wangu jo hii Kenya
Wale wanajuanga tu wanani-support tu videadly
Watu hujaribu kuniangusha chini
Lakini wana...
Wananivuta hawaezi
Nimeona wasanii wengi...
Wakipanda, wengi wao waki...
Wakishuka na mwezi
Genge ni cancer ya...
Ya hawa watu
Ni ka wana...
Wanavuta mafegi
Uh-uh kudadadeki
Mistari tamu kama mtoto mshelisheli
Nashukuru tuko pamoja tu mpaka saa hii
Tukitambaa kwa radio, TV kila mahali Nai
Na siezi sahau watu wangu wa UG na Dar
Na kuna wengine Burundi huko Rwanda
Nashukuru hizi miaka zote mmekuwa na mimi
Na hii barua nimewaandikia nyinyi nikai-sign Nonini

(CHORUS)
Kurasa hazitoshi
Kuandikia ninavyo
Kupenda
Aah, aah

Maneno hayawezi
Kukueleza ninavyo
Shukuru
Aah, aah

Hii barua niliona nikuandikie wewe
Ka uliniskiza saa hii na uliniskiza siku za tene
Safari najua jo imekuwa ndefu
Wengine mlinitoka sabu sura imemea ndevu
Nakumbuka jo tukilipwa thao
Ya bus fare ya kupanda mathree jo tukiwa tao
Nikisalimia dame super ananiambia chao
Funny vile fame ilinigeuza kwa macho zao
Uh-uh, kudadadeki
Mistari tamu kuliko tawi za pedi
Nikiwa chini wee ndio mtu wangu wa nguvu
Hii sauti nitakupa unless nigeuke bubu
Morale vile wee hunitetea watu wakibonga mbaya
Vile wee hutokea ma-show jo nikiwa Ulaya
Hizi miaka zote jo mmekuwa na mimi
Na hii barua nimewaandikia nyinyi nikai-sign Nonini

(CHORUS)
Kurasa hazitoshi
Kuandikia ninavyo
Kupenda
Aah, aah

Maneno hayawezi
Kukueleza ninavyo
Shukuru
Aah, aah

Eeh na-hope jo maisha poa
Umemada chuo ingia campo jo ufala toa
Mi niko poa siezi complain afadhali
Mziki siku hizi jo inaeza okolea jahazi
Maisha ikiwa ngumu komaa nayo
Kuwa mstari wa mbele ki-Adebayor
Kuna time hufika na nyama za kiasi
Usidhani nimekuchorea niko tu chini ya maji
Mjanja hufanya mambo yake kimya kimya
Kisha anarudi kuchukua industry na lazima
Mlango moja ukifungwa bisha ya pili
Mi niko ya tano saa hizi na si rahisi
Na ya kumi inakaribia kila nikiwaimbia
Wee jua tuko pamoja tu, na nangoja
Kupata barua yako jo na ntaisoma
Wee andika sign jina yako na fullstop au comma

(CHORUS)
Kurasa hazitoshi
Kuandikia ninavyo
Kupenda
Aah, aah

Maneno hayawezi
Kukueleza ninavyo
Shukuru
Aah, aah

This Letter - Feat. Karma

I know it's been a very long time, I mean I've been lost, but...
It's just that, man
The network was blunder where I was, my friend
So I had to sit down and write you this letter
And I hope you get it

Thank you to my fans in Kenya
Those who know me only support me deadly
People try to bring me down
But they...
They can't pull me down
I've seen many artists...
Ascending, many of them...
Descending by the month
Genge is a cancer of...
Of these people
It's that they...
They're smoking weed
Uh-uh, freaking out
Sweet lines like a sea shell child
I'm grateful we've been together all this time
Crawling on radio, TV everywhere in Nai
And I can't forget my people in UG and Dar
And there are others in Burundi and Rwanda
I'm grateful for all these years you've been with me
And I wrote this letter to you all and signed it Nonini

(CHORUS)
The pages aren't enough
To write how I
Love
Aah, aah

Words can't
Tell you how I feel
Grateful
Aah, aah

This letter I thought I'd write to you
Who listened to me at this hour, and listened to me in the old days
The journey I know has been long
Some of you left me because my beard has grown
I remember when we got paid a thousand
For bus fare to get on a matatu when we were broke
When I greeted a super chick, she told me chao
Funny how fame turned me around in their eyes
Uh-uh, freaking out
Sweet lines sweeter than the leaves of the pedi
When I was down, you were my strongman
I'll give you this voice unless I become mute
Morale-wise, the way you defend me when people talk shit
How you show up at shows when I'm in Europe
All these years you've been with me
And I wrote this letter to you all and signed it Nonini

(CHORUS)
The pages aren't enough
To write how I
Love
Aah, aah

Words can't
Tell you how I feel
Grateful
Aah, aah

Eeh, I hope everything's cool
You graduated college, go to camp and get crazy
I'm fine, I can't complain, thank God
Music these days can save a ship
If life is hard, stick with it
Be a leader like Adebayor
There comes a time with not much meat
Don't think I've painted you, I'm just under water
A smart guy does his thing quietly
Then he comes back to take over the industry and must
If one door closes, open the second
I'm number five now and it's not easy
And number ten is approaching every time I sing to you
You know we're together, and I'll wait
To get your letter and I'll read it
You write, sign your name with a period or comma

(CHORUS)
The pages aren't enough
To write how I
Love
Aah, aah

Words can't
Tell you how I feel
Grateful
Aah, aah
