When wewe were down they were never there All the sycophants they upendo to make romance When you're all alone wewe really get to learn If wewe get back up they gonna come around To the ugly sound of 'em tellin' wewe what wewe 'cause they all agree you're supposed to have a better life Wanna hear an' wewe pretend But you're feelin' worse An' they build wewe up till wewe fool yourself that you're Something else an' it's like a curse cause An' they tell wewe that you're losin' Marafiki wewe can't live up to what they made of wewe Losin' friends, losin' Marafiki Ya don't lose when wewe lose fake Marafiki Ya got nothin to lose Ya go an tell 'em wewe were king of the kilima Ya see 'em laugh while you're on your knees An' ya can't believe that ya hit the gound an' When ya need a hand - that was yesterday An' it breaks your moyo 'cause ya gave so much Ya notice ya been losin' Marafiki Losin' friends, losin' Marafiki Ya don't lose when wewe lose fake Marafiki Ya got nothin to lose from.
