Intro

You'll start saying, "Okay, it's the man's duty

To pay for these dates, to pay for whatever, sijui, what is in the house"

In the event that that person actually has the capability of doing it

You find that now the man, even him, he becomes- becomes very toxic in that

"Sababu nalipia hizi vitu, nakulipia hii, now I own you (Oh, yeah)

Now you have to start doing-" You know?

Verse

Kenyan in the mind, Rwandese in the flesh

Spliff on my right, bad B to my left

I'm goin' off tonight, swear to God, man, I'm vexed

All these soft guys talking shit on the net

Chaos in the streets, man are causing uproar

Wanted to get in the sheets, 'cause he spent that dough

Rejected the dick, the price was three floors

And the verdict? "Oh, she shouldn't have gone

Nothing is for free, bitch, what did you expect?

She was being naive, should've stayed in her bed

Need to be more careful around these sick men"

How the fuck else do you find love then?

Other way around, still would take an L though

Give it up on first date, you would call her a hoe

Treat your girl right, then they call you a simp

Guess that's how it goes when you tail Amerix

Now I'm not saying I wouldn't tell my daughter to watch her back

But if ever she's assaulted at the hands of some dickhead

I'm putting all the burden on the perpetrator instead of the victim

Groping women 'cause they're looking fine ain't instinctive

Whether short skirt or a booty short, listen

Ukicheki mboch ameng'ara in the kitchen

Washa comp and masturbate like Chris Griffin

It's not all about young chicks, paying rent

Going to the gym, following the three Fs

Wanna cause a fuss if it's the woman getting bread

If she take care of you, that don't make you any less

I don't see the need for all the secrets

All the condescension, all the pretense

All they bring is bitterness and regrets

Probably why your wife is cheating on the weekends

Had a conversation once with this guy

Said the world is always gonna be cold, why try?

'Cause I'd rather leave a better world behind

Than the one that I found when I came to this life

It's 2022, still wanna trip

When two guys get it on in the crib

No one getting harmed, and it's none of your biz

He can make his own decisions, let him suck that dick!

Outro

Kwanza even the guys who, uh, actually end up talking about their feelings

They talk about it after they're sad and they've drunk

And the problem is gone (And the problem has gone!)

It's gone

"Eh, bro, last year nilikuwa pabaya, bwana" ("Manze!")

"Eh, but this year…" ("Huo dame alini-mess!")

"Najua ni kitambo, but, huo dame…"

"Eh, huo dame alini-mess. Haukumbuki hadi ile siku nilikuwa na-sweat macho?"

(laughter)
