Background:
Kovu as a lion cub
Kovu is the deuteragonist of the 1998 movie The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride. He is the adopted son of Zira who is a follower of Scar. Kovu was apparently born at some point during Scar’s reign, as Scar hand-picked him to be his successor. As a result, he was referre...
[Intro]
Kovu
Hehehe, heh
[Verse 1]
Vile mi hufanya juu ya handas matire
Ma-newcomer wapewe pampers wapime
Ambia Nyash tumemwaminia basi
Lakini tukishampoteza hakuna comeback ingine
Na ukome na hizi, kwanza catch up na zile, mm
Ndio uroge ka mimi, labda mkamba akuazime
Kifua ujipige, we ni master wa kuchocha
Tunakujua, we ni mwere, we si gangster ya kutosha
Na ikibidi tunakuleta juu
Leo ka jana ndio i-feelingi ni ka ni deja vu
Geuka mbang'a, mbona unaniuliza maswali?
Unatekwa nyara, unabaki mteja hapatikani
Utapikwa, iwe gas stove ama kuni
Lakini wako njaa, plus choo hawakunyi
So ka unajiona bad bas njoo kwa wahuni
Penye mbaya mbaya, ngori tunazi-solve kwa mangumi
Na ka unangoja chorus, ndio hii
Nimeji-set bila compass kwa street
Look ni fresh, Converse na jeans
Watu-play wasitu-play, hatuko concerned na shit
Juu sifuati habari, mi ni nugu wa news
Ndio ufike hii hali, ndugu, kwanza nunua views
Ay, niliamini kwamba Mungu huwa juu
Juu nilisonga ijapokuwa nilifungwa miguu, check (Mm)
Be careful who you beef with
I was only nine when I was caught shoplifting
I had to check all my neighbors to stop snitching
Now I'm giving back to the neighbors and that's real shit
Mama told me I'm a pain in the neck
But that changed when I started paying the rent
My dad changed, he started playing my tracks
But I never changed 'cause you see, the plan was to rap
Now we kicking it with the finest
So wakibonga mi sihusiki, mi nakaa nje
Na ma-celebrity Kenya huwa msiba
Wameshindwa kupea Vera na Huddah mimba
Maisha ya kuiba
Tryna get to me but busy nikiandika
See, I'm tryna be a leader, got goons for no reason
Me, I never leave them
Ndio maana naezanga kujishasha kila region
Heh, check
So what the fuck's niggas talking about?
Started this shit, now these niggas walking around
Tryna beef me? Naeza weka glock in your mouth
Kwanza free me, 'cause the media's locking me out
Kwa sasa wanani-misuse
Na nikikufa kesho najua nita-increase views
Kwa ma-post watadai, "He was a nice dude
RIP Sagini and I swear bro, we miss you"
[Bridge]
Ay, but it's all fine
I had to sing so these motherfuckers talk about that too
I got my glock nine
Mama crying, "Aki, mtoto wangu, be careful"
Run a man down in my Adidas shoes
Halafu click-clack, ta-di-da, boom
"Scar did this, that," What did I do?
You can never distract me and my goons
[Verse 2]
Uh, na niko pale in the front line
I know that she loves me 'cause the flow fine
Look at what we done did with no cosign
Na hakuna kitu wanaeza fanya when it's your time
From today, wasoro wakubali
Natoa pain na makoro niku-burn
Haijalishi what they claim, for my bro, I'm still riding
And it's true what they say, I follow my crew blindly
[Outro]
'Cause mama said, "Baby boy, you're a blessing"
Mama said I was born with a message
Mama prayed I would never get arrested
Mama, mama said but I never listened
Mama said, "Baby boy, you're a blessing"
Mama said I was born with a message
Mama prayed I would never get arrested
Mama, mama said but I never listened
Mama said everything's gonna be fine
I know everything's gonna be fine
Mama said everything's gonna be fine
I know everything's gonna be fine
I should never worry, I know mama praying for me
I know everything will be fine
I should never worry now, mama praying for me now
Everything will be fine, yeah
Uko fiti?
