Verse 1
Say what you mean and say it to me
Or is it wrong to want to know where
Where we do be but really what I do mean to you 
Cause your words don’t match what I see

Chorus
And I don’t seem to leave 
Hoping that you’ll need me
And I can’t seem to be all you want and clearly 
I won’t seem to learn 

Verse 2
And so she will leave
It’s no surprise to me to find my mind
Follows after
And it will repeat 
Cause I feel to deep 
It’s hard to move on 
When you’re in love with loving anyone 
As long as the focus isn’t on the one
Whose heart has  never felt the sun

Chorus
I don’t seem to leave 
Hoping that you’ll need me
And I can’t seem to be all you want and clearly 
I won’t seem to learn 

Verse 3
so I tried to set myself free 
Dry your eyes but no need to hide it’s not like they’d see
Or feel me 
I’m clearly meant for solitude 
Just inner peace with me 

Chorus
I don’t seem to leave 
Hoping that you’ll need me
And I can’t seem to be all you want and clearly 
I won’t seem to learn

The Other Days - M. Rumbi & Charlene [Prod. by theNairobiNomad]

Thursdays

Lyrics:
Goodbyes ain’t never been a thing I just put my head up keep it in
And just move on and hope it’s gone
Miss I  really hate to bring this to your attention 
But I know things will change and I’m not okay with this 
So could you stay for a week or two 
And I know you’ve gotta go 
But all I’m saying is taking slow 

Chorus
Take it one step at a time 
And maybe hope than we find, ourselves
Ourselves 

Verse 2
And we all know how I’ve been 
Tend to shrug cause nothing ain’t anything
But they don’t know
How hard I hope
That you
Could stay for a week maybe two
Don’t make me pick cause I might be a bit selfish 
But that’s not my bit just know that I felt it 

Chorus
Take it one step at a time 
And maybe hope than we find, ourselves
Ourselves

And I know you’ve gotta 
But all I’m saying taking slow
Take one step a time
And maybe hope that we can find, ourselves
Ourselves

Lyrics 


Sit smile simmer
Hold s hands
Pray what’s for dinner 
Been a minute since I ate
Pray tell is it fate
meaning of what’s on my plate
Tessellate tessellate
My words in a pleasant place
State your purpose 
Loud, they heard us
all wanna be a part of this fucking circus
But I’m just tryna be the head honcho 
Why wouldn’t I want to?
In  love with 
The Bent and broken 
These jars they opened
Cracked, stacked 
If you can call tossed aside my way
Hey babe
Come play
In the streets they say
You cant meet a great
Brother 
your in luck 
I am the one
Cause I’m a sucker 
So fun, yes fun
Is like no other, other
So need to bother any other than the one in a collar 
Call her 

Hook

My sweet side 
Feels like 
It’s taking over 
Knocking on doors cause you want me over
Jay Hova
A witness to the mess that he makes
That he takes to the chest 
Flex 
Impress just himself
That ting is just a side quest 
 I’ve met one queen of them all
Empress with her self cut in half
Boy gone writing about stars

Tell me what you wanna be
Wanna see if you align with my brand
I’m the type to fly when
It don’t fit 
I dip
could help with it
helping hand or two
Don’t you
Wanna be my tragedy
Lavish me lavishly 
Have sadness sully me and
Bring a calm
Pen in a hand
Let’s pen an
Album or two
Naah an EP dude
This talent is wanning 
Weaning 
I ain’t sip some
Is that the meaning 
Only great with these demons 
Seems unlikely 
Either way I’ll play
On this line all day
Just to say
It ain’t hit like mine 
It ain’t shit like mine what a day
Everday and
Everyday s a
Punch to the gut with heavy dose of suck it all up

Hook

My dark side 
Feels like 
It’s taking over 
Knocking on doors cause you want me over
Jay Hova
A witness to the mess that he makes
That he takes 
Now he’s the best dressed 
Crest
So there ain’t no coming down
Project 
Never grasp the mess
Rough guess that he’s heading down
But his feet can’t touch the ground 




I’m the belly
I’m the beast
I’m the one 
I’m his sheep
I’m the unsold son
With these chains on his feet
White lies claim black lives
Dropping like
black flies
Not it doesn’t 
crabs in abundance this barrel’s
A battlefield
Where friendly fire 
is our desire 
Could we tire
Of the hate
not all just the part I state is
Mad unworthy
Surely
You can see the sun in my eyes
Blind and blurry 
Melting fury 
Pain is pleasure
That’s why I chase these
“I should know better”
But I really wanna have her 
Rest t her head on my chest 
make her heart feel at rest  
Fill her soul feel blessed
And my pen just never rest
address what I know best
Wish I could just
Stay abreast 

I tried
Thrice guys 
So I’ll dip 
Slip 
Naah shit tights 
It’s getting faint 

Fit fit fit 
As I kick kick kick

#Lyrics#
Tell me 
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
How you want it
So I can sing song it
Binge on it
Simpson 
I’m feeling yellow 
Mad mellow
That fellow
Just another chump
Or a champ
Rocky with the frown
Steady in his stance 
But can’t dance 
But can’t dance 
Fall out boy
I let you down 
I mix facts with splah
You like it so I Don it
don’t you worry about it
Cause I will spout it and tout it
This mould is 
Something else
Another day another self
Well get on and go
The word stopped moving slow about six years ago
it’s been six years and yo
Inanipigwa butwa 
Kijana Anashangaa 
not everything will kneel or keel
Don’t relate
and all you say
Why o rasa?
Sasa ni nini unataka? 
Like Jacqueline 
Do you know who
I am 
a simp son 
End of verse one 

Dress up and move on swiftly on set
This is a show you want to invest
Step up to the n***** with no disrespect
We rest when impress on the best
The camera doesn't deserve this finesse 
And I don't let the lenses forget the test
Who is this G that knows none the rest
You find out when we move to the next


Verse 2
Again about this young ting 
Running through my mind
Wasting time 
And she fine
_________ looking like mine
But she’s on a timeline throwing 
Shade 
Hearts dipped deep in jade 
Please take a minute to collect your thoughts
Should a make a move? 
Everyone is everyone's ex
So it ain’t a crime if text
Or make a call next after next 
Back of my mind like hommie take a breath
Or a chill pill 
Like a tic tac and refresh 
Then swipe left
Cause it ain’t for the best
Is she  worth the mess
Remember what happened just before you left
Honestly 
What really bothers me
She’s still in love with he
Only needs to snap to bring 
Her back 
This is a flip of the script 
Didn’t meant to trip
But some beauty I can resist 

Dress up and move on swiftly on set
This is a show you want to invest
Step up to the n***** with no disrespect
We rest when impress on the best
The camera doesn't deserve this finesse 
And I don't let the lenses forget the test
Who is this G that knows none the rest
You find out when we move to the next


Is this becom a habit
These ladies with baggage 
And my trolley a phallus
Help you manage
No need to thank me or
How y’all say it dankie 
I’m just part of the trip
From where you get off
To where you live
Can’t make a home when I’m always gone
Always on another call
I won’t lie and I say you mean the world to me
You’re like a continent b 
cause 
there’s a couple curled next to me
Doesn’t make sense 
See you only need two types of sugar
Brown and the other
Causal lovers casual fuckers
Messy and in pullovers
I got jokes
Hommie said I bring the funny when there’s hunnies
So the Daily,hourly in sum 
Mean I’m always funny
Humour and I mad chummy
Even when I’m feeling funky 
I’ll just self deprecate 
But like I said you can’t relate

Tell me
Tell me tell me
What you want see
If I can be 
Close your eyes and count to three
