Verse 1 - Jua Cali
Kwani nimewekewa madawa, siwezi kukuacha
Kila mahali unaenda mi nakufuata
Siogopi kukuambia, mi nakupenda
Watu wa wivu nao zao ni kusemasema
Huyo manzi alinipigia simu mi hata simjui
Mi nimekuwa studio, ati tulikuwa naye wapi juzi
Hizo ni uwongo na unajua
Mlango yangu iko wazi, we ukitaka kurudi nimeifungwa
Unasema hapana, hapana
Huku ukilia mi navumilia
Mi nakazana, nakazana
After hii yote, siamini bado unawezaniambia…

Chorus 2x – Sanaa
Nakuaga mi kwaheri
Nami ninakutakia la heri
Kukupenda mi siwezi
