[Verse 1]

They say, "You better look before you leap!"

But life often

Don't give a hole for you to peep

We're all hoping

We're not a victim of defeat

Caught up in the life cycle

At the bottom of a chain

Gotta exercise power

Conquest is the order of the day

Ni tamanga

Everybody wanna get paid

Ona bana

And another one is on the way

But I'm a hustler for us

I have been hunting all-day

[Pre-Chorus]

But I wonder

Would we still beat destiny?

If the word of the world got the bеst of me?

Would you look at your ring with disappointment?

Or would you pick up my arms and come and join in?

Likе a soldier

When the days are colder

Would I know my tears got a home on your shoulder?

Would you keep my heart exposed to the vultures

When the enemy is approaching?

[Chorus]

When the world is too much

And I feel out of touch

Can I run to you for refuge, baby?

Naine nimalema

This rock that you see

Can not always be

Will you be strong for me, yeah?

[Verse 2]

Behind every successful man is a stronger woman

As I am approaching success

I am assuming you'll be patient

Embracing me at the low times

See potential in me, even when I got no dimes

If the worlds tempt you

Saying, "You can do better."

With the emotions all aside - you gonna know better

That the man of your dreams;

Actually a dream killer

"Love is all good but your stomach needs filling

"And you cannot have love for your dinner

"Sankha wa kang'ono - see a certified spinner

"What's love if it can't keep you warm in the winter?"

Would you boldly reply with your chin up

Saying in my defense

"You ain't making sense don't lecture me

"History says: WE GONNA LEARN FROM HISTORY

"I choose to be different: I LEARN FROM MY MISERY

"Together through the pain, and together through the victory."

That's a good thing

Cause you can't remember respecting a house that you never laid a brick in

Not a cool thing

I got faith in the man

So I ain't going nowhere chasing a new thing

[Chorus]

When the world is too much

And I feel out of touch

Can I run to you for refuge, baby?

Naine nimalema

This rock that you see

Can not always be

Will you be strong for me, yeah?

(Speaking words, that will move me;

I (Can depend on you)

So tender and soothing;

I (Can depend on you)

You make me feel better

You purify - my love - for you;

Is a burning fire) x 2
