Mmm
Take me to some place unknown
Where you'll leave me on my own
I am living on my shadows
I am far away from knowing what I need
Need to walk this path alone
I believe we can be free
There is only one condition
I can see from my position
Let the rain wash all the sadness out of me
Underwater I will learn to breathe
I will learn to breathe
There is magic in the air
It surrounds us everywhere
Need to walk your brother home
When he's far a way from knowing what he needs
There is only one condition
I can see from my position
Let the rain wash all the sadness out of me
Should I drown in my sorrow, tomorrow
Underwater I will learn to breathe
I will learn to breathe
Oh, yeah
Take me to the promised land
Oh my God, I won't regret it
songesha forward, the lands ahead of me
Take me to the promised land
Oh my God, I won't regret it
songesha forward, the lands ahead of me
Hmmm
Oh
There is only one condition
I can see from my position
Let the rain wash all this sadness out of me
Should I drown in my sorrow, tomorrow
Underwater I will learn to breathe
I will learn to breathe, I will learn to breathe, oh
I will learn to breathe, I will learn to breathe
I will learn to breathe
I will learn, I will learn
I will learn to breathe
I will learn (to breathe)
Will learn to breathe
Will learn to breathe
Will learn to breathe
CARELESS
Ooh
Ooh-mm
Ooh-mm
Mmm-mm
Really is so bad
Really is so bad
Was the best time of my life
With you, I won't think twice
wewe gave it up so quick
wewe gave it up so quick
Never thought it would come to this
Never thought it would come to this
Someone tell me that my moyo is lead
Ooh, bullets made of dread
My moyo is lead
Ooh, shot down, bang, I'm dead
Sand beneath my feet
Did I always miss this heat
I was blinded kwa my youth
And for that I blame you
Mmhm, ships and postal slips
Mmhm, little poker chips
I see through rosey glass
Someone kick me in my ass
Someone tell me that my moyo is lead
Ooh, bullets made of dread
My moyo is lead
Ooh, shot down, bang, I'm dead
I'm dead, I'm dead
Mmm, I'm dead, I'm dead
I got no back bone
I swore myself I'd leave myself alone
Mmhm, yeah
I got no back bone
I swore myself I'd leave myself alone
Ooh, I got no back bone
I swore myself I'd leave myself alone
Careless to the bone
Careless to the bone
Some redemption of my own
Some redemption of my own
AFTERMATH
I let us crash and burn
Religious ones were praying
There's pieces of wewe here
wewe left but you're still staying
I don't know what I'm saying
au how to bring wewe back
And just like my youth
I'll be living with that aftermath
Who I was back then
I barely recognize her
And I acted like her friend
When deep down I despised her
I watched myself disappear
I didn't know what upendo meant
And just like my youth
I'll be living with that aftermath
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Some things we never say, it isn't easy
I know you're looking down
wewe may be right beside me
When I finally see you, I'll take off my mask
And just like my youth
I'll be living with that aftermath
And just like my youth
Just like your youth
Just like my youth
RIGHT NOW
I never knew the situation
Didn't think that it was one of those kinds
From a different generation
wewe can't deny, this is a stranger time
A stranger time, a stranger time
wewe think you're salama behind a passport
wewe were shaking in the airport line
Telling stories wewe were hearing
wewe can't deny someone could lose their mind
Lose their mind, lose their mind
I don't wanna go
Right now, right now
I don't wanna go, hell no
Right now
Tell me why we're fighting for
I don't wanna fight your war
Right now
Suited up for the occasion
A final dance before wewe say goodbye
No reason for a celebration
And they're all crying but wewe don't know why
Don't know why, wewe don't know why
wewe hearing sirens in the distance
Off the shore, wewe see the sun go down
Was this the reason for existence
au just a way to make your father proud
Your father proud, your father proud
I don't wanna go
Right now, right now
I don't wanna go, hell no
Right now
Tell me what we're fighting for
Cause I don't wanna fight your war
I don't wanna go
Right now, right now
I don't wanna go
Oh, no, right now
Tell me what we're fighting for
I don't wanna fight your war
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now
NEVER upendo ME BACK
I was fine on my own
Now I'm leaving all alone and you're gone
This empty nyumbani is huge
My moyo feels so misused for so long
wewe can go and do, do, do
What wewe want, want
I'm just gonna upendo wewe from afar
wewe can go and be, be, be
Who wewe want, want
I'm just gonna upendo wewe from afar
And upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
Ain't it crazy, are we wicked and wild
I can upendo you, I don't need to disguise
Ain't it stupid, useless
It's just the way it's supposed to be
I don't need you, just the memories
Don't have a moyo attack
When I upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
When I upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
This is not me rolling dice
No, we can't go through it twice, we were wrong
There is no need to compromise
When I saw it in your eyes, it was done
wewe can go and do, do, do
What wewe want, want
I'm just gonna upendo wewe from afar
wewe can go and be, be, be
Who wewe want, want
I'm just gonna upendo wewe from afar
And upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
Ain't it crazy, are we wicked and wild
I can upendo you, I don't need to disguise
Ain't it stupid, useless
It's just the way it's supposed to be
I don't need you, just the memories
Don't have a moyo attack
When I upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
When I upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
In a different life, land and sky
Different place and time
There was wewe and I, there was wewe and I
There's a bird inside, it doesn't want to die
wewe gotta let it fly
Ain't it crazy, are we wicked and wild
(Oh, yeah)
Ain't it stupid, useless
It's just the way it's supposed to be
I don't need you, just the memories
Don't have a moyo attack
When I upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
When I upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
Oh, never love, never love
Never love, never upendo me back
upendo wewe like you'll never upendo me back
Ooh
Ooh-mmm
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
There's a full moon on the rise
She'll turn into a mbwa mwitu tonight
You'll spot her kwa her yellow eyes
She must survive
Can't help herself, wewe have to hide
There's a steady heatwave, rollin' in
I'm looking for my new best friend
Can't help herself
The state she's in, weakness within
And to survive, wewe can't give in
Full moon fever
Who doesn't go crazy, who's gonna believe her
Full moon fever
There's only one way out, you're gonna die
wewe better run, run for your life
There's a fine line, wewe must step
One steady light, one cigarette
There's something that wewe wewe never said
I figured out what wewe meant instead
Full moon fever
Who doesn't go crazy, who's gonna believe her
Full moon fever
Ooh, there's only one way out, you're gonna die
wewe better run, baby
Run for your life
Mm, mm
Mm
Run for your life
Run for your life
MAN LIKE YOU
Ooh
Don't take pride to fall in love
Nothing else I need to fulfill my dreams
You're kwa my side, I feel alive
You're kwa my side
I recognize, no matter what
We don't have a lot
But the whole wide world is ours
wewe give enough, wewe give me love
wewe give it heart, wewe wanna please her
Turn a hater into a believer
What would I give to have a man like you
What would I give to have a man like you
Ooh, wait a minute, I do
Don't need to try, don't need to hide
It's so natural
It's the way it feels with wewe and I
You're kwa my side, wewe feel alive
wewe get the Jack, wewe bring the fever
Boy, wewe are higher, it's wewe that I admire
It is true
It don't take much to fall in upendo with you
wewe give it heart, wewe wanna please her
Turn a hater into a believer
What would I give to have a man like you
What would I give to have a man like you
wewe make it right, wewe make it good
And you're doing everything wewe should
What would I give to have a man like you
A man that always seems to follow through
What would I give to have a man like you
Ooh
wewe give it heart, wewe wanna please her
Turn a hater into a believer
What would I give to have a man like you
Mm, wait a minute, I do
I got a man like you
DANGEROUS MIND
wewe gotta lover back at home
Someone else that wewe desire
So can leaving late alone
Burn cities with his fire
The sea was turning in
Down in Coney Island Pier
Threw the evidence away
Wanna make it disappear
To say you're crying, you'd be lying
With a dangerous smile
To say I'm crying, I'd be lying
With a dangerous mind
Building a ukuta of that kind
We're not getting out alive
Ooh, ooh
Wind blowing our hair, blowing like a freight train
And where we came from, we'll never be going
I can't remember when au haven't forgotten why
Why we were designed with a dangerous mind
To say you're crying, you'd be lying
With a dangerous smile
To say I'm crying, I'd be lying
With a dangerous mind
Building a ukuta of that kind
We're not getting out alive
Ooh, wind blowing our hair, like a freight train
And where we came from, we're never going
And I can't remember when, haven't forgotten why
Oh, why we were designed with a dangerous mind
SAY GOODBYE
I know it doesn't make no sense
Couldn't say I haven't been there since
The road was caving in
Couldn't see I haven't been there since
Lights are on (nobody's home)
Nobody's nyumbani (take your keys, leave alone)
Take your keys (lights are off)
(Nobody's home)
Leave alone
(Take your keys, leave alone)
Those days are gone, no need to cry
There's no way out just say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
It turns out we do it to ourselves
We know the truth but do something else
Had to learn from our mistakes
A uchungu, chungu world that we're left to face
It's the truth (can't be denied)
Can't be denied (it chooses you)
(No where to hide)
Chooses wewe (it's the truth)
(Can't the denied)
Nowhere to hide
(No where to hide)
Those days are gone, no need to cry
There's no way out, just say goodbye
Those days are gone, no need to cry
There's no way out, just say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
I know it doesn't make no sense
Couldn't say I haven't been there since
