Текст и перевод песни Juvenile & Baby "The Birdman" - Bounce Back

Bounce Back

Hili game mi nalijua kabla hata sijaanza licheza
Ka demu bado hajakua au mwali ambaye bado hajachezwa
Niite protege wa HBC au unit ya kwanza
Ka ni usanii it's been years tangu siku nilioanza
Enzi za mziki ni hobby kabla hauja-turn biashara
Kabla ya Rhyme Light, enzi ya FM na Galaxy Kimara
Kabla ya hizi FM rhyme kachitenda mi nachora
Kabla kina Mam albamu hawajaanza kugonga nakala
Tangu game changa promota Mali Kipanga
Game mlangoni unalipa, ndani si hatari unapanda
Ka sio Bills, Vegas kabla Diamond hajaanza jaza
Flow Jamii hajaanza leo, wala hatuanza lipwa fedha
(Tangu) enzi game chafu watu daily bunda kwenda studio
Na hakuna cha computer ngoma inaundwa kwenye keyboard
Enzi hizo Bongo mziki ulioshika ni Taarabu na Bolingo
Si ndo chanzo cha mpaka ikafa Taarabu na Bolingo
Hili game!

Nimetoka kwenye msoto oh
Hapa nilipo mabadiliko nusujua nani
Na bado nipo ooh
Mi nasaka mshiko niwape vitu flani
Hili game, hili game
Hili game game game game tough
Hili game, hili game
Hili game game game game tough

Sio tena tough kama enzi Nature alivyoimba
Ila siku hizi kutafuna ndafu ili kuwa nyota kawaida
Media zote shaavu, studio artist anaenda na ndinga
Video moja nguvu, shoo bila milioni tatu hajagonga
Ndo game ya kisasa haiendi bila AJ na Nisher
Naekeza pesa bila hivyo there's no way italipa
Fans asifii mistari tena, nowadays kichupa
Hamna vina hamna MCs tena, nowadays ni rappers
Zamani hamna manager, Babu Talle alikuwa mshikaji tu
Siku hizi brother Sela sio manager ana kipaji tu
Duuh! Ndo jinsi game ilivyo-change
Zamani it was for the love of the game, now it's for change
Kila mtu amekuwa msanii, wachache ndo wenye vipaji
Na ukute uvisikii 'cause ili watoke wanahitaji mtaji
Wengi wababaishaji ndo maana huvutii watazamaji
Game gani ya kuiga wapogo na wasauzi, mbona wenyewe hawatuigi?!

Nimetoka kwenye msoto oh
Hapa nilipo mabadiliko nusujua nani
Na bado nipo ooh
Mi nasaka mshiko niwape vitu flani
Hili game, hili game
Hili game game game game tough
Hili game, hili game
Hili game game game game tough

Ah!
Wengi imewashinda kwa ukosefu wa nidhamu
Wengine wamedunda shauri ya beef na redio ya FM
Hata ka ngumu jifunze usimletee pozi shabiki
Isije ikaku-cost ukaanguka fani ikawa ndo basi
Wengine wakali ka wa kina mimi ila ndo hatuna zari
Lakini waliokuwa na zari, masikini leo mateja hatari
Bora sikuwa na zari kuliko nisingekuwa na mistari
Inayofanya hadi leo niwe na heshima ya u-legendary
Kwenye game, wengi wamekuja wametamba na wameniacha
Ngoma hazijachuja bado tu zinabamba na zina miaka
Na kama ni stanza bado tu zinatungwa za uhakika
Kabla hizi kampuni hazijaanza mwaga mpunga tunaoshika
Leo hadi kampeni tumo tunawapamba wanasiasa
Hamna lolote tumo ili tule mpunga wa wanasiasa
(What a shame) wengi hawajajenga wamekimbilia kuendesha
Ukiona ndinga unaweza hisi wanaishi majumba ya ghorofa

Nimetoka kwenye msoto oh
Hapa nilipo mabadiliko nusujua nani
Na bado nipo ooh
Mi nasaka mshiko niwape vitu flani
Hili game, hili game
Hili game game game game tough
Hili game, hili game
Hili game game game game tough

Bounce Back

I knew this game before I even started playing it,
Like a girl who hasn't grown up or a woman who hasn't been played yet.
Call me the protege of HBC or the first unit,
If it's art, it's been years since I started.
Back when music was a hobby before it turned into business,
Before Rhyme Light, in the era of FM and Galaxy Kimara.
Before these FM rhymes, I was already composing and drawing,
Before Mam's albums started hitting the shelves.
Since the game was young, promoted by Mali Kipanga,
The game is at the door, you pay, inside it's not dangerous, you climb.
If it's not Bills, Vegas before Diamond started filling up,
Flow Jamii didn't start today, nor did we start getting paid.
(Since) the era of the dirty game, people bundled up daily to go to the studio,
And there's no computer, the beat is created on the keyboard.
In those days, the music that dominated Bongo was Taarab and Bolingo,
Isn't that the reason why Taarab and Bolingo died?
This game!

I came from hardship, oh,
Here where I am, the changes, who knows?
And I'm still here, oh,
I'm looking for a way to give you some things.
This game, this game,
This game game game game tough,
This game, this game,
This game game game game tough.

It's not as tough as it was when Nature sang,
But these days chewing coconut to become a star is common.
All media is abuzz, the artist goes to the studio in a car,
One powerful video, a show without three million hasn't hit.
It's the modern game, it doesn't go without AJ and Nisher,
Invest money, otherwise there's no way it will pay off.
Fans don't praise lines anymore, nowadays it's the bottle,
There are no MCs anymore, nowadays it's rappers.
In the past, there were no managers, Babu Talle was just a friend,
These days, brother Sela is not a manager, he's just talented.
Damn! That's how the game has changed,
In the past it was for the love of the game, now it's for change.
Everyone has become an artist, few have talent,
And you might not hear them because they need capital to come out.
Many are fakers, that's why they don't attract viewers,
What kind of game is it to imitate Americans and Europeans, why don't they imitate us?!

I came from hardship, oh,
Here where I am, the changes, who knows?
And I'm still here, oh,
I'm looking for a way to give you some things.
This game, this game,
This game game game game tough,
This game, this game,
This game game game game tough.

Ah!
Many have failed due to lack of discipline,
Others have fallen because of beef with FM radio.
Even if it's hard, learn not to pose for the fans,
It might cost you and you'll fall, the profession will be over.
Others are as good as me, but we don't have the money,
But those who had money, the poor today are dangerous addicts.
I'd rather not have money than not have lines,
That's why I still have the respect of a legend today.
In the game, many have come, made a name for themselves and left me,
The songs haven't faded, they're still hits and they're years old.
And if it's verses, they're still being written with certainty,
Before these companies started pouring out money, we were the ones holding it down.
Today, even in campaigns, we're decorating politicians,
We're there for nothing but to eat the politicians' money.
(What a shame) many haven't built, they've rushed to drive,
If you see the car, you might think they live in high-rise buildings.

I came from hardship, oh,
Here where I am, the changes, who knows?
And I'm still here, oh,
I'm looking for a way to give you some things.
This game, this game,
This game game game game tough,
This game, this game,
This game game game game tough.
