muki rai – defend my insecurities lyrics
intro:
one of the toughest things i’ve learnt is that in life, you can never really be everyone’s friend. and i know, i know i’m too small for the world but, i’m only here to make a mark. they say that death is certain, and survival is its ally, and uhm, that’s why..
verse 1:
for the money i’m a slave, therefore for my mine i’m savage
i need me some financial safety with no shortage
i’m talking that high regard that many others can’t leverage. [pinnacle things]
that means i’m tryna have my ratings above average
coz i came a long way from the constituency bursaries, [true story]
sold myself to some corporates for a monthly salary, [i had to]
but i only attracted contempt from the complimentaries
i guess it’s proper to say my prosperity’s compulsory
it’s mind over matter homie, that’s my philosophy
i’m working on painting pictures as clear as photography, [best believe]
a masterpiece is in the making whenever i’m in cooking, [d-mn]
my stakes keep increasing forget whoever’s overlooking
this artistic sk!ll. i just apply myself
i can’t justify my failure by attributing it to the m-sses
no, that ain’t like me. that would be very unrealistic since it ain’t like
they contributed towards me being p-ssionate
hook:
understand i’m sick and tired of just living on my knees
i now wanna stand on my own two feet
i don’t wanna need a handout like a lifesaving kit
and i swear sometimes i really get pessimistic
i mean,sometimes i can hardly see the beauty in my struggles
it gets ugly in the jungle when the animals is hungry
and i really relish the pride i have when i depend on me
i’m asking god for the strength to defend my insecurities
verse 2:
napenda usingizi ila asubuhi me huilenga ju hela huwa haiingizi
sihitaji usaidizi nikivuna nilichopanda kwa ivo msela jikeep busy
watiaji mtajipanga. eh mjamaa
unasema we ni mwanaume ilhali wewe bado unategemea mama
haha, apana we si mwerevu bro
we ni mwere amemea ndevu jo
na iyo ni kwa maboy wa mtaani, [eeh wewe!]
wale kila saa
tukipatana nyi huniuliza form ni gani? [rada?]
matawi mamoshi makali, [niachie mbao]
matawi mamoshi makali, [niachie kinde]
kisha mnakasirika nikiwasho ati sina any
kam na idea ya bizna kabla uniambie me ni mbleina nanii
utanifanya nihang up kama unataka tuhang out
ati ndo tu tupate hang’ie na kwanza ile time
nilikuhitaji zaidi manze uliniacha mataani
zi, nlishakujua mse we ni bad company!
hook:
so understand i’m sick and tired of just living on my knees
i now wanna stand on my own two feet
i don’t wanna need a handout like a lifesaving kit
and i swear sometimes i really get pessimistic
i mean,sometimes i can hardly see the beauty in my struggles
it gets ugly in the jungle when the animals is hungry
and i really relish the pride i have when i depend on me
i’m asking god for the strength to defend my insecurities
verse 3:
see there’s much more to me than that which meets your eye
so just in case you ever wondered why, i’m usually reclusive
i’m always trying to figure out why cracking the code to the jackpot is overly elusive, [always]
and please don’t say to me that money can’t buy love
instead take that back and mind your own business
because laughing to the bank is my type of happiness
it so happens, that we can be in touch but we just don’t connect, [too bad]
and with that i’m content, let’s agree to disagree
but i can’t quit scratching the surface, i’m, caught in between extremes
where ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power
now that’s a joke on me
i’m a self employed dreamer that’s a hell of a job homie, [you don’t wanna know]
so i’m looking out for everything i put my effort in for
i ain’t hearing out to anything that’s uncalled for
hook:
so understand i’m sick and tired of just living on my knees
i now wanna stand on my own two feet
i don’t wanna need a handout like a lifesaving kit
and i swear sometimes i really get pessimistic
i mean,sometimes i can hardly see the beauty in my struggles
it gets ugly in the jungle when the animals is hungry
and i really relish the pride i have when i depend on me
i’m asking god for the strength to defend my insecurities
