[Intro]
Tondeka mu nnyumba naawe
Njagala kubeera naawe
Tondeka mu nnyumba naawe
Njagala kubeera naawe
Oshe, oshe
Yeah man
Yeye, yeye
Two, three, four, five, six
Seven million
Everyday I pray for billions
Yeye
B’raka B’raka
[Pre-Chorus]
What you wanna my killy?
Don’t you know we run this city?
Look at us, yes we done did it
Came from bottom to the ceiling
Only had the faith and a feeling
Some of my Gs still with me
Only had the dream not the shillin
Only had the dream not the shillin
[Chorus]
I said I’ll make it one day but
What do I know?
Nabagamba nja kukikuba but
What do I know?
Wherever 1 go they say
What do I know?
Even when I made it out they said
What do I know?
Feeling like a young Mandela
What do I know?
All the nights I prayed for dalla
What do I know?
Who knew God could bless a sinner
What do I know?
I said I’ll be number one but
What do I know?
[Verse]
Bread and butter, nakudata
Thank you Radio and Weasel
Used to sing your verses
Now it’s B’raka everybody know
Bagonza Didadada
Used to be my superhero
Elly Wamala used to make me wish
I was born in ’94
Mulembe gwa Kirya anti kwe nakulira
Thank you for the music
Thank you for the videos
Every Sunday morning
Turn on the radio
Now it’s me that’s on
Allow me to thank you all yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
What you wanna my killy?
Don’t you know we run this city?
Look at us, yes we done did it
Came from bottom to the ceiling
Only had the dream not the shilling
Only had the faith and a feeling
Some of my Gs still with me
It’s not lonely at the top they were lying
I said I’ll make it one day but
[Chorus]
What do I know?
Nabagamba nja kukikuba but
What do I know?
Wherever | go they say
What do I know?
Even when I made it out they said
What do I know?
Feeling like a young Mandela
What do I know?
All the nights I prayed for dalla
What do I know?
Who knew God could bless a sinner
What do I know?
I said I’ll be number one but
What do I know?
