Lost City feat. Bosco Baya

Bosco Baya: Napambana, nang’ang’ana, napigana,
Fungua macho, usikate tamaa

(I'm struggling, I'm in there, I’m fighting,
Open your eyes,
Don't give up)


Kevlexicon: How many have been lost?
Planting people instead of seeds,
On stolen lands,
Machozi flowing thru
A mother’s broken hands
With the heart of lions, we grind on
Even though the night is long,
We are intermittent lights on an inefficient grid,
Tryna smile and make the best of it
Nothing is definite in these uncertain times
So we hold on to each other
for dear life

Napambana, nang’ang’ana, napigana,
Fungua macho, usikate tamaa

Where are we goin to in this world?
Old Man vampires sucking damu
When all I want to do
is suture up war wounds,
build a better future,
not the same shit that we used to.
When will the Klanhattans and KlanVillages become one?
Are we building more slums for someone else?
The light shines on the darkness
From the few of those who created it.
twende kazi,
the thing you are most afraid to do
is what you should be doing
speak your free mind
ka Ngugi, ka Kimathi,
tuna maswali,
but if no1’s talking
the only one is days repeating
like M.0.1
we must take these moments

false prophets teach you to keep the hand out
but who keeps a man down?
capital is just another ideology
but the only thing we respect,
we forget family,
all are parts to be sold
with no soul
exported American Dreams
you buy in Gikomba,
losing cultures,
pouring into a monopole future
where nothing new grows,
we digging holes when we could be building,
talking killing klan madness,
when sanity is a monument to hypocrisy
in this lost city
I spit from the periphery
until they get me

Napambana, nang’ang’ana, napigana,
Fungua macho, usikate tamaa
