DON DID REVOLT LYRICS

Intro

Verse 1:
Some o dem a weak,
Some a just a prentenda,
Some don’t surrender,
Some don’t know what to do.
If we don’t hit the streets, your crew’ll knock on our doors,
How’ll you pad your votes when you’re breaking our laws?
I fear death? Nah Nah Nah, I’m laughing at its face,
Sending us abroad, but Kenyans protest in every place.
We ditched the church 'cause of hypocrites like you,
But don’t trust! Don’t trust, our revolution’s coming—they will not believe.

Chorus:
Uh! Revolution now, Woi! Revolution now,
When we shed our fear, they lose their power.
In unity we rise, this is our finest hour,
Uh! Revolution now, Woi! Revolution now,
The abduction, brutality, it grows colder.
Overtaxation, we can't bear their weight.

Verse 2:
Wanted man, running from police thugs,
When did you see presidents using goons and guns?
Against the people, the very souls they should serve,
We've reached the point, we’ll no longer swerve.

Punda imechoka!
Zakayo utashuka!

Some people look at their family pedigree
You’ll see that a fruit doesn't fall far from the tree

Punda imechoka!
Wengine mumeua!

Chorus:
Uh! Revolution now, Woi! Revolution now,
When we shed our fear, they lose their power.
In unity we rise, this is our finest hour,
Uh! Revolution now, Woi! Revolution now,
The abduction, brutality, it grows colder.
Overtaxation, we can't bear their weight.

Yeah, iye yeah yeah!
Zakayo utashuka!

DON DID SILALI LYRICS
(Intro)

(Verse 1)
Ngo ngo ngo
Ghafla nikaskia nimeguswa na malaika
Na hivyo ndo
Huu moyo wangu ulivyouteka
Nuru ya mapenzi yako, inaangaza giza;
Naweza kuona, hakuna mbadala kwako;
Wewe na mimi, hadi mwisho wa historia;
Cheza na mimi, ishara hili penzi letu limetunogea

(Chorus)
Sila, silali!
(Instrumental fill)
Nakupenda kwa dhati
(Instrumental fill)

(Verse 2)
Sila, silali
Katika penzi letu nimezama
Ila kwa wivu, n’talalama kwa tunda langu ambalo nalipenda
Wewe sio uzuri tu, wewe ni mtazamo mzima
Na pia sio bidii tu, wewe ni zawadi daima

(Chorus)
Sila, silali!
(Instrumental fill)
Nakupenda kwa dhati
(Instrumental fill)

I forget all my troubles when I’m with you any day
This is my bank pin take it and spend it all away
I see my life being better
With you by my side
You’re my girl, my defender
When I’m with you…

I see my life being better
With you by my side
You’re my girl, my defender
When I’m with you…
