Mshamba Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1: MADE]

Was about six o'clock in the evening
Matatu kafika stage
Tired from a seven hour long ride
Mimi ni mshamba jijini
Walked up to this pretty young vixen
Hoping that she'd give me directions
Nisilojua ni kuwa
Maisha yangu keshageuka

[Hook]

Woooooo mi ni mshamba
Mimi hapa mshamba
Mi ni Mshamba jijini
Woooooo mi ni mshamba
Mimi hapa mshamba
Mi ni Mshamba jijini

[Verse 2: MADE]

Woke up next morning
Twenty years have passed ain't never seen no sun
Guess I'm no Daddy (Daddy)
Maxed out - that's your credit card
For me though, I get that doh
And my whole team winning (CMG)
Flow still the same
Still on top of the game
Ain't here for the fame
But I don't mind it if I gain
All that money pile up more stacks
Afford that Diamond ring
Kumbusha yeye (Shawty)
She can get it any way she want it
Nilikuja kama Mshamba
Bado mi ni mshamba
All that time, still don't know everything
Them haters talk too much and make zero sense
I rap, make millions and entertain
Thank God for this gift im'a stay creative
[Hook]

[Verse 3: CMG BEatz]

Got a matatu to go to town
Didn't know what lay ahead
In the city where the goons are found
And my man, they never play around

I'm like wadup homez
Huelewi hii?
Basi unataka zipi, za kwenda B?
Hebu chunga hiyo bag isiume V
Don't worry ma nigga, just follow me
Lemme show you my clique
This is CMG
Yeah we hu$tle hard
We trippin' in the streets
Na hii kipaji you know we going to eat
BEatz Baby, I'm in the Beat

[Hook]

[Outro]
