Verse 1

Sina pressure ka ni manzi najua

Ka ni date unadish ata yego pasua (ala)

Sina pressure ka ni form inakua

Nmejipini na waroro wanapenda chafua (ala)

Attitude ka ya Martha Karua

Ka ni meeting itabidi umetuma barua (ala)

Dustbin ni mapacko za sure

Na unashangaa mbona hupati tu madem wa ki-sure (ala)

Ka ni ngori najificha Karura

Nina shimo mingi manze ata kuliko sungura (sungura)

Change ya mbao inaeza shika ‘metura’

Chorea ‘sambu’ imetengezwa na nyama ya chura (aaii)

Ka hujui utajua

Verse 2

Niaje empress naitwa Alejandro

Nimetoka pale chini manze Dago

Juzi juzi nilikuwa ndani kanjo

Kesi yangu ati me ni boy virgo

Imekuwa siku mingi tu msako

Me hupatanga malapdance na vako

Na madem wangu wote ni wa ng’ambo

Me ni one time killer kama Rambo

Kanambo na madiaba za manjaro

Manjaro na madiaba za Kanambo

‘Mahunders’ tukikulanga mavado

Pita mtaani nikuonyeshe mambo

Hook

Ah ah… (Aiyaya)Na iwake… Na iwake… (Aiyaya)… Eeh eeh Na iwake

Chorus

Me me ka ni beat naua

Me me ka ni shash najua

Me me ka ni beat naua

Me me ka ni shash najua

Me me ka ni virgo nyandua

Ka ni sape nafua

Ka hujui utajua

BEING THE GUY WHO SAYS 'NA IWAKE'

Confession…

Wes’… I feel like you brought me to the light. If it wasn’t your status, I wouldn’t even know these guys early enough to keep enjoying their music.

Ok… so, the song. Can we first light it up? If you know, you know. I feel like song is personalized. And in some sense, it actually is because it’s a story. I’m personalizing it to me as the subject.  To best enjoy it, I think you should too.

Getting to it

So here I am, as I said in the review, there’s nothing I can’t do. The chorus is so clear you just have to go through the lyrics. So light it up, and if you don’t know what I mean, just tag along, you’ll get it. The beats are killing it at this point. And the first subject; Nellythegoon tells the story as somebody who feels no pressure as long as certain things are clear to him.

He flaunts his game by telling people not to wonder why the wrong things happen to them yet they make the wrong moves in the first place.

After the chorus

Benzema also has a story to tell. Haha… some of us are too quiet and sometimes, we need to prove a point. I’m the good guy. But they don’t know I do things low key. You need to be willing to try things with me. Let’s light it up guys….

Can I say I am that guy?

Ok guys… I told you, to best enjoy the song… personalize it as though you were the subject. Put yourself in the music. Feel it, enjoy it, listen to it, learn it… then I don’t think the copyright artists would mind if you sing along. Let’s do this…. Na Iwake!

YOU'RE AFRAID. AREN'T YOU?

Nimewaka!

Hey, there’s absolutely nothing I can’t do. Like, I can’t stress how much I like this song (Na Iwake) . And just like the things I can, this jam makes me want to create my bucket list. I am seriously lighting up in every way I know how. 

I’m dancing, I can’t stop singing along. I’m enjoying the video… can definitely steal a move or two for the club. And the beat… Oh my… somebody get me something cold, I’m moto '-d' up with excitement.

Honestly, these young talents are killing it. The video… Freaking awesome, the lyrics… so inviting. The storyline… let me not say this but how else can you understand and relate with what happens in the field?

This is a time when you realize; you can't be afraid. You can't be afraid of the things you know you can do. Deep down, when you look into yourself, there's something that needs to be done. I mean, you know you can do it. why not show that you can. And that you love it. And for all we should know, is that it is you. It is what you do.

Is this what the youth is about?

Umm… Well, what I really know is, the youth are about getting it done. I kinda feel like that’s our motto. We get to do things that we want for ourselves. And this song Na Iwake; not only communicates what happens on the ground, but also represents motivators.

Just like every youth that’s following their dream? So are these artists. And that, that is sexy.

WHAT TO DO IN 2019; FT KRIMINO BY NELLYTHEGOON X DMORE

What we are doing for 2019;

The minute I fully listened to this song and understood what exactly it’s about, I knew one thing for sure… knowing what is krimino and avoiding it was something I am going to do in 2019.

Avoiding Kriminos (Ukora No. 1)

Honestly though, How can you be a ‘Figure’ and do criminal things? How? Hiyo ni krimino. Haha!! What is krimino? There are a number of criminal things that are not necessarily written down making them krimino. Listen along; also, the lyrics are so clear.

What?

At this point, itabidi umebebwa. Haha! I’m sorry I got overwhelmed. Anyway, you notice the parts he says (aii) after particular lines, that’s the most ‘criminous’ I doubt there’s such a word but I’m just trying to drive the point of how much more of a crime it is.

What they mean…

Who are they? The artists; nellythegoon x Ochungulo family. What they mean is… How can you like someone who keeps calling you idiot? How do you not stay close to a liquor store? Aii… Hiyo ni krimino. There are just lists of so many things that do not go together and can be considered krimino.

Of course there are so many cool things to be done that are certainly not criminal. Unfortunately, you just have to be cool. I wish I had a tutorial on how to be cool… Haha… let’ learn from this first. Do you already know what krimino is? Perfect. …

The superior krimino

We have to come with the terms that when you stand as a public figure, there are simply things that you cannot do. And if you do them, there’s no telling how much you’ll be shamed for it.

Can you think of any more ukoras that add to the krimino list? Add it to the conversation.

What?

You still don’t know what krimino is? Oh dear, please visit the lyrics here.

Me nacheki blue we unacheki indigo

Nakupenda ata ukiniita indiot (Aii)

Hiyo ni krimino

Ukirombosa ile part more critical

Ukidai can we get more physical

Ukiwasha gode past base cynical,

Hiyo ni krimino

Ita soldier kuna vile tumevamiwa

Na maboster wote leo wamefagiwa

Manzi wangu wanadai kumkatia

Na yeye ni chizi manze, anawapatia

Utamu wa pesa ni kujibebea

Ndio macriminal wasicheki nikipepea

Na magoga wakizusha najitetea

Huwezi nipata pale tao nikilegea

Manze mtaani zimeshika tukidegea

Red devils bet slip nimeekelea

Ikaogelea, tutaendelea ku-LA

Hiyo ni krimino

Don iyeng na ma weng‘ el matter doh

Nina mali toka kenya hadi Mexico

Ka ni mchezo me napenda el-classical

Ka ni pongy naiendesha kama bicycle

Ka ni simu me nabonga kwa materminal

Na kwa meza nawameza kama animal

Wakilia nawatibu kama panadol

Na ikizidi nawaongeza paracetamol

Kama umesota na umedunga we‘ ni criminal

Kama huna sponyo unaishi Githu’ we’ ni criminal

Una haga na huna sura, we’ ni criminal… (Aii)

Chorus

Hiyo ni krimino…

Hiyo ni krimino, Hiyo ni krimino (Abebwe)
