Lexx Kinyua – Pretender Lyrics

Chorus
dame anakaa mweupe outside
lakini rangi yake ni nyeusi inside
chali anakaa ni kama ana dough
lakini anakanyagia-gia (pretender)

dame anakaa mweupe outside
lakini rangi yake ni nyeusi inside
chali anakaa ni kama ana dough
lakini anakanyagia-gia (pretender)

Verse 1
unajidai ati
mfuko yako imejaa
na huku familia ina… kufa na njaa
kwenye bar
unaagiza… nyama choma
na bibi nyumbani anakula sukuma
pitia unakunywa kumbe pesa ulikopa
rent ya nyumba haujalipa umesota
you’re supposed to be the bread winner
you better sort out yourself, face your real inner

umeshawai
saidia charity
na huku unadai una pesa kwa jiji
umeshawai
spend time na family
watoto wana njaa you better face reality

Chorus
dame anakaa mweupe outside
lakini rangi yake ni nyeusi inside
chali anakaa ni kama ana dough
lakini anakanyagia-gia (pretender)

dame anakaa mweupe outside
lakini rangi yake ni nyeusi inside
chali anakaa ni kama ana dough
lakini anakanyagia-gia (pretender)

Verse 2
dame mzuri sio ule una-judge kwa sura
bali ni inside ndio inapata kura
sio dame
anajidai supuu tu sana
uki-count amelala na wasee wengi sana
tu na Tom, D***k and Harry
na ana-claim eti anangoja tu ku-marry
you’re supposed to be a good woman
you better sort out yourself, face your real inner

Chorus
dame anakaa mweupe outside
lakini rangi yake ni nyeusi inside
chali anakaa ni kama ana dough
lakini anakanyagia-gia (pretender)

dame anakaa mweupe outside
lakini rangi yake ni nyeusi inside
chali anakaa ni kama ana dough
lakini anakanyagia-gia (pretender)

ni wanafiki, wanafiki…
they are pretenders

stop bragging that you have when you don’t have
remember that actions speak louder than words
those who have, have you shared with the have-nots
remember that actions speak louder than words

stop bragging that you have when you don’t have
remember that actions speak louder than words
those who have, have you shared with the have-nots
remember that actions speak louder than words
