Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whatchu wanna be when you grow up
I wanna be somebody, somebody
Difference with everybody, everybody
Control by nobody, nobody
[Verse 2]
Oh sorry time wasn't in my life
But that is what the world show me, show me
Walinifuata hadi kanisani
But they can't get a hold of me
[Verse 3]
Coz my mama alitestify
Kijana wake atakuwa fine
Na ye ndio atarun hii taoo
Atarun hii taoo
[Verse 4]
Na mimi nikatestify
Mimi kijana nitakuwa fine
Na mimi ndio ntarun hii taoo
Nitarun hii taoo
[Verse 5]
Juu hadi tax nalipa, bills nalipa
Narudi home na giza
Si mimi ndio ninarun hii taoo
Mi narun hii taoo
[Verse 6]
Naskia hadi Pedy ananiita, mheshimiwa
Wanaingianga base na mzinga
Mimi ndio narun hii taoo
Na si narun hii taoo
[Bridge]
Let your mother know that you're around the town
Let your brother know that you're around the town
Your brother knows that you're around the town
Oh you surely know that you're around the town
[PreChorus]
Watchu wanna do when you grow up
I wanted to be somebody, somebody
Nikue na mabneste yani anybody
Nimalize race hadi final
Though this is a weary solemn go
Si niko na beba kwa nyumbani
Na majeez wako kilimani
Na kwa tenje mi sipatikani
[Chorus]
Coz my mama alitestify
Kijana wake atakuwa fine
Na ye ndio atarun hii taoo
Atarun hii taoo
[Refrain]
Na mimi nikatestify
Mimi kijana nitakuwa fine
Na mimi ndio ntarun hii taoo
Nitarun hii taoo
[Refrain]
Juu hadi tax nalipa, bills nalipa
Narudi home na giza
Si mimi ndio ninarun hii taoo
Ninarun hii taoo
Naskia hadi Pedy ananiita, mheshimiwa
Wanaingianga base na mzinga
Mimi ndio narun hii taoo
Na si narun hii taoo
[Outro]
Let your mother know that you're around the town
Let your brother know that you're around the town
Your brother know that you're around the town
Oh you surely know that you're around the town
Let your person know that you run the town
Let your sister know that you run the town
Let your brother know that you' run the town
My your people know that we run this town
