Intro

(Dagi on the beat)

DVK

Yo

Chorus

2020, man was on the grind

Opportunity wasn't coming my way

Feeling like I'm getting left behind

While them others running on the highway

Now I'm in a better state of mind

And I'm feeling more refined day by day

2021 was a big one

2021 was a big one

Verse 1

Sitting inside with my handset

Checking out the vibes on the Internet

Came across this nigga looking fresh

He was telling jokes, got a nigga interested

Kinda impressed by what I see

Had to invest, step on the scene

Girlfriend is stressed by her routine

Tryna give her some rest from her fatigue

While I'm progressing on the stage

Liking this comedy ting, can't complain

Killing with the jokes, the mic is a 12-gauge

Comics on a roll, then the lockdown came

In a dark place like a phantom

Fucking with my headspace, kwani wagwan?

Mum said the numbers shouldn't lead to fixation

Told me, "Stop leaning on your expectations"

Chorus

2020, man was on the grind

Opportunity wasn't coming my way

Feeling like I'm getting left behind

While them others running on the highway

Now I'm in a better state of mind

And I'm feeling more refined day by day

2021 was a big one

2021 was a big one

Verse 2

Going back to the home of my ancestors

Still don't have an ID 'cause I'm a foreigner

New passport on the agenda

Link up with my people, then back to Kenya

They call me an alien, put me through a maze

Even though I'm Kenyan, fam, born and raised

But I'm cool, fam, always unfazed

Finna do my first fifteen on the stage

On the code, tryna turn a new page

Feeling no regrets about the career change

Slacking on the course, but I'm okay with my pace

'Cause the clients coming in, and I'm finna get paid

Running sets with the gang everyday (Everyday)

Banking cheques with my nigga from Spain (Ehen)

On my own way, feeling like Lars

Grateful to be further than where I was

Chorus

2020, man was on the grind

Opportunity wasn't coming my way

Feeling like I'm getting left behind

While them others running on the highway

Now I'm in a better state of mind

And I'm feeling more refined day by day

2021 was a big one

2021 was a big one

2020, man was on the grind

Opportunity wasn't coming my way

Feeling like I'm getting left behind

While them others running on the highway

Now I'm in a better state of mind

And I'm feeling more refined day by day

2021 was a big one

2021 was a big one

Outro

Hello, baby! How are you doing?

I've missed you, and, uh

I wanna let you know that I'm happy to have spent this year with you

And to have had you, like, in my life throughout this year

I'm happy that you came through for me massively, um, this year

Um, I don't know how I could've done it without you

Would've been pretty rough

Uh, so I'm glad to have had you there

I'm just, I'm just grateful right now

My heart is just full knowing that I have such an amazing, amazing partner

Okay, bye. Love you. Love you so much (kisses)
