Lyrics

[Chorus]

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo, tuma madoo, tuma madoo

Matata Matata

[Verse 1]

Never saw this coming

Went overseas, dreaming life will be sunny

Thought l'll be chasing money, huko juu angani

Na nikiland ni matext za send me money, please send me money

[Chorus]

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo, tuma madoo, tuma madoo

Tuma madoo (Tuma madoo)

[Refrain]

Oh no no no, I can't deal with this pressure

All on my own, no one wa kuongelesha

Offline kwa phone, online wakitaka pesa

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's human nature

I can't be the one, to make everyone's life better

Vile wamenibeba, feels like manual labour

[Refrain]

Majuu majuu majukumu

Majuu majuu ni kugumu

Majuu majuu majukumu

Majuu majuu ni kugumu

[Chorus]

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo, tuma madoo, tuma madoo

[Verse 2]

Some of them think I'm Jesus Christ

Nafeel wameni-sacrifice

Mimi niwalete paradise

Kumbe wengi ni ma parasites (Ayy)

[Refrain]

Oh no no no, I can't deal with this pressure

All on my own, no one wa kuongelesha

Offline kwa phone, online wakitaka pesa

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's human nature

I can't be the one, to make everyone's life better

Vile wamenibeba, feels like manual labour

[PreChorus]

Majuu majuu majukumu

Majuu majuu ni kugumu

Majuu majuu majukumu

Majuu majuu ni kugumu

[Chorus]

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo, tuma madoo, tuma madoo

[Verse 3]

I'm stuck on the matrix, just wanna pay bills

I'm looking for the paper natume MPesa, wanasema ongeza

I'm under pressure

Some of them are fam, fam, fam

They see me on the gram, gram, gram

Vitu ni different kwa ground, ground, ground

They wanna see me down, down, down

[Refrain]

Oh no no no, I can't deal with this pressure

All on my own, no one wa kuongelesha

Offline kwa phone, online wakitaka pesa

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's human nature

[PreChorus]

Majuu majuu majukumu

Majuu majuu ni kugumu

Majuu majuu majukumu

Majuu majuu ni kugumu

[Chorus]

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo

Tuma madoo, tuma madoo, tuma madoo
