[Verse 1: 1key]
Start ni long story so I'll go straight to the now
Si bitu bya hatari, mi strength ninayo
Smart scheming since sitaki umaskini
Discipline, shaolin style ku ma skin
Head over these hills nikupe ku ma skills
Inspi esila te, koko simba
motivasiyo ni roho si inda
Esprit tranquille, je me dis que je fais l'essentiel
When I get the blues, only friends see it
Drip ni sneakers ama boots coz I'm still running this
Najisoigner ginsi naweza, nikipiga swata muranseka cyangwa murantera courage?
[Chorus: Kaya, 1key]
I stay up late trynna put em words together
For family and friends no matter the weather
I'm doing it all, I'm doing the most
Go get it, I don't even care about the cost
Something tells me I'm doing something right
[Verse 2: 1key]
Prisonnier de galères, sitaki dollar $ign tu nataka exit
Vie sans repères, mes brouillons sont déjà exquis
I dare step ku stage, I lay mistakes ku page, my escapades ni cascades
Bitangira baguha amenyo utakomanze
Tu sais comment c'est les regards d'ici si nko hanze
Ils percent, if you ain't got no thick skin you crack
Alors je mets ma carapace, tattou genre NWA style 2pac
It's run or die, ifirimbi iravuza ubuhuha, obey or jail
Minajidai, napita contre sens, effet serwakira, bobanga te
[Verse 3: 1key]
Tu m'étouffes avec ta rhétorique à deux balles
en loop comme un amnésique tate
Cocktail jus de monarque, vin catholique,
deux coups de républiques ratées
Tout ça dans le corps and you expect me to act good
Je pars en couille sur cet accord, rappel d'Arusha 94
Sur Twitter ça ralle, miye je m'en fout simunaniita fou!?
Je veux aller où ça bouge, où les gosses jouent dans la street
I got moves, putting on a show together mais
l'ambiance est constipée à Kigali
Shit is hard but we're masters of fake it till you make it
I guess I gotta make it
Mojya kwa mojya twaenda kazi
Kazi ni kazi mode ni kamikazi
[Chorus: Kaya, 1key]
I stay up late trynna put 'em words together
For family and friends no matter the weather
Moja kwa moja twaenda kazi
I'm doing it all
Kazi ni kazi
I'm doing the most
Mode ni Kamikazi
Got get it, I don't even care about the cost
Something tells me I'm doin it right
[Chorus: Kaya, 1key]
Something tells me I'm doin it right
I'm doin it right, I'm doin it right
Oh there's something that tells me I'm doin it right
I'm doin it right, I'm doin it right
Moja kwa moja twaenda kazi
Kazi ni kazi, mode kamikazi
Si ibyo se?
