Wafalme – My Story Lyrics

Poem (Lucy)
Slum ndio shule ya kutrain, make it rain, brain disable
Watu hawa think straight juu ni late waiting for power
Hata God amenawa, akatusahau ka watu wa mau mau
Ukiomba peace, weather ni bullet
(We are educated by the slums, at the same time disabled by the slum.
There is a lot of violence, but if you ask for peace,
Only bullets come your way)

Verse 1 (Franco)
Wananchi wanaishi bila dishi kwa mitaa
Utumishi inafaa kwa jirani ana njaa
Mi’ sijali ata ka utakubali utakataa
(People are starving in the ghetto. We should come together and help one another)

Chorus (Jose’h)
This is my story (tunahustle)
Together we can make it
This is my story (tuna struggle)
Together we can make it

Verse 2 (Forde)
I’m an example of a hustler,strength of a struggler
I was born in the ghetto mahali hakuna dishi
Tunatafuta ndio tuishi wenye kuhustle ndiyo sisi
Tunakaa na njaa tunakaa mafisii
Tunatembea tunakaa machizii
(They call me a hyena, they say I act like a mad man but it doesn’t matter because I am struggling to feed myself)

Verse 3 (Oscar)
jungle ina noma mi’,bado mi’ na somaa
umati ndiyo ngoma ,ukapi bado inachoma
magonjwa za kutopona,mtu wangu wasee wanakusorora
mtu wangu omba mola,ingianga town ukose dollar
(In the ghetto there are many bad influences, crime, prostitution and unemployment, but I am still determined to get my education)

Verse 4 (Okusi)
kenye nafanyaa kwa flow na blow,
kenye natenda kwa show na blow
Slum force,rap force escape,detect nikitake step na blow
Reject me hate me nikibreak every wall
(I’m skilled, talented and through hip-hop I will make it)

Verse 5 (Anto)
life,ghetto ni kustruggle kuhusttle
mimi ni kufanya msako angalao nipate mmango
roundi hii msoto,watoi kuokota takataka
wasee wanasafaa
(People are eating from the garbage; I must work hard to save myself from this)

Verse 6 (Anne)
hii ni life ya ghetto mathare,kibera,huruma,Soweto
wazazi kujikaza,kuchoka kujilaza,sauti pia kupazaa
kustruggle kila mlango
(In the slums of Mathare, Kibera, Huruma and Soweto parents are really struggling but poverty still knocks on every door)

Verse 7 (Oyugi)
emilika na mitaa,badilika ukipaa
na andika na umekaa ,ni wafalme ndani ya aah
nina kuja kama star,mimi ndiyo minister
(The slum has taught me not to be idle and that I must work hard for my success)

Bridge (Jose’h)
Mama,baba kutafuta ni jasho
Tunaomba mola mola atusaidie wowowo……….yeeeeeee
Wafalme hiphop kazi yetu tunaipenda
Tunastruggle na tunahusttle
(Mum, dad, I know you struggle to put food on our table.I pray to God that He might help us but if I succeed in my Music………………)

Chorus
This is my story (tunahustle)
Together we can make it
This is my story (tuna struggle)
Together we can make it

Outro (Jose)
Ni wafalme…..
Maji hapo ndani ya nyumba……………
Kazi yetu twaipenda kweli………………..
