Warn Dem
Chorus
Ghetto youth ngamba Topowa
Newankubadde embeera ng'ekunyiga nze kyesaba butapowa
Ghetto youth omuliro toguzikiza gwe gwa nyabingi ogwookya buli ewali ekizikiza
Ghetto youth never give up
Nomatta how they pressure you
They fight you
Me sing say never give up
Ghetto youth never put down the fire
That's a real bingi fire it a haffi
Burn fi make you higher
Verse 1
Njagala otunule mu Ghetto
Abantu babonabona omuli abakulu
Awamu n'abato
People got no where to settle
Just to get that little bread
Amazima dem haffi fight a battle
Naye ate sagala gwe weyise bubi
Olweyo embeera gyoyitamu
Era ekuyisa obubi
Beera mugumu era beera muvumu
Kuba era kekasera kenyini
Akamalawo ekibi
Chorus
Verse 2
Kano akasera ko ka bunabbi
Sagala bbo bakulimbe limbe
Bakukozese ensobi
Yawula ekirungi ku kibi
Kuba buli woyita waberawo
Ekirungi n' Ekibi
Naye ndaba obulimba bungi
Awamu n'obutamanya
N'okubuzabuzibwa nakwo kungi
Buzzi bwe misango bungi
Nze kyensaba teweyisa bubi
Mumaaso ojjakuba burungi
Chorus
Verse 3
Never let money change you
Stay Positive and never let
The wicked people trick you
Tokiriza nsimbi kukyusa tebakukozesa lwansimbi maaso
Ojja kwejjusa
Kyekusaba beera n'empisa
Ebyensi byakugondera
Bwoba ngottaddemu ekisa
Bangi mbalaba bbo tebalina
Kisa nga bajjudde ettima
Mumaaso tebalina mikisa
Chorus
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Warn dem
Thats an arrow when it hits it comes out with the guts
I want you to look into the ghetto
People are suffering including the old and the young ones
People got no where to settle
Just to get that little bread the truth is
dem haffi fight a battle
So i dont want you to act negative
Because of the system pressures treating you negatively
Always be strong and always be brave
Because this is the right time to end this wickedness
This is a time of prophecy
I dont want them to deceive you
And lead you astray
Differenciate between good and evil
Because every where you pass there is good and evil
But i see alot of lies
Alot of ignorance
Alot of misinformation
Alot of crime
All i pray is dont get negative
Your future will be positive
Never let money change you
Stay positive and never let the wicked people trick you
Dont let money make you switch
Dont get exploited for money
Because in the future you will repent
All i ask you is to be disciplined
The world wil treat you cool if you are disciplined and kind
Have seen alot of people with no mercy
full of envy and greed their futures rip more bad lucks
Ghetto youth i say dont give up
Even though you going through hard times
All i pray is never to give up
Ghetto youth dont put down the fire
Its the Nyabingi fire that burns away the wicked
Ghetto youth never give up
No matter how they pressure you
They fight you me sing say never give up
Ghetto youth never put down the fire
That a real Bingi fire burn to make you higher

Tebamanyi x 4
Tebamanyi - what I've been through
Tebamanyi - my insecurity
Tebamanyi – the pressure that I put
Tebamanyi - so just let them me be
There's a box, and I don't sit
I can't fit in it,
But i'm not too thin, I'm just that thick
My hair ain't fit
Just right too blue,
Too blue for you, too bad your blind
Blinded by mine
I can't see your hate
You put on me
Hold it far, that far from this
This Golden Heart, Tainted by purity
And all of my scars, my insecurities
They live with me, and I carry mine
Tebamanyi – They don’t know me
People think all kinda shit when they see me
They don't see a down ass chick when they see me
All they see is ass and tits and tats and bits that they can't quit
No they can’t quit
Tebamanyi - what I've been through
Tebamanyi - my insecurity
Tebamanyi – the pressure that I put
Tebamanyi - so just let them me be, Tebamanyi
Tebamanyi – where I’ve been
Tebamanyi - my insecurity
Tebamanyi – the pressure I put on me
Tebamanyi - My demons so let me be
Walking through my
Struggles and my life
That you don’t know about I
And I don’t know why
You judge me like
You know what I
Go through when I’m all alone
And you don’t know
Walking through my
Struggles and my life
That you don’t know about I
And I don’t know why
You judge me yet
you don’t know what I
What I go through when I’m all alone
Tebamanyi
There's a box,
And I don't sit
I can't fit in it
I'm just that thick
My hair ain't big
Just right too blue,
But too blue for you
Too bad your blind
Blinded by mine
I can't see your hate
That you put on me
Hold it far
That far from me

[Verse 1]
In the eye of the storm we remain calm
Refusing to engage snakes and charms
As we select dissect corporate monoliths
Babylon temples filled with filth
Digital gangsters in Zuckerberg’s realm
With data policies designed to overwhelm
When we gonna wake up and call out their bluff
Stick it to the man make them know we had enough
I hear you all say yeah we gangsta like that
Pawns in the game well that’s a true fact
Preoccupied with all the vanity
The poison toxic masculinity
Time to shake the boys knock in some sense
No half stepping forget the pretense
Too many lives lost situation tense
Sick and tired of clowns sitting on the fence
[Chorus]
Who you be na who you see
Perfect imperfection
Photoshop reality
Who you be na who you see
Perfect imperfection
Photoshop reality
[Verse 2]
Addicted to likes and all the fake clicks
Virtual egos craving quick fix
Distorted realities in the matrix
Got everybody falling for their prewritten script
Broken reflections suspended in time
Children of denial in the bogus paradigm
Where you gonna run when they control your mind
Ain’t nobody see when the blind lead the blind
Deep in the barracoon survival is the grind
Everyman for self when the soul’s brutalized
How we gonna heal and bridge the disconnect
Too many lost followers no self respect
The pain ain’t vanishing it ain’t going nowhere
No matter how you run you gotta face your fear
The choices are yours demons are clear
No path to peace if you stay insincere
Who you be na who you see
Perfect imperfection
Photoshop reality
Who you be na who you see
Perfect imperfection
Photoshop reality

Verse 1
Anytime I phone home like ET
The government stereoscoping BS in 3D
Politicians are criminals all sleazy
Humping the masses spreading da verbal vd
Pd. P apc they all greedy
Same toilet different crook / robbing the needy
Make the big bank disappear and blame it on the genie
No diss- but this is not lepa gawu boy
This a war like the Greeks when they battled Troy
Politicians are worse than any yahoo boy
Uh I know your next move you ignoramus
You must have gone bananas for thinking I’m backing scammers
I wish they all die alongside the evil planners
Where are your manners be quite u no day fear court
They d reason why we get badded up at d airport
I’m pointing fingers at419ers it’s their Fault
Verse 2
Ur biggest fan is a stranger they do the most for you
Ur biggest hater is always somebody close to you
Knife in his left - drink in his right. Toasting you
To Long life behind ur back they roasting you
Hear me well life is nothing like a fairy tale
We victims of vicious attacks and we barely sell
Cos I rap in English and I’m repping africa
It’s a cold world word to North Pole antartica
I’m da artika -don of the one line blinder
They say rap local - but they timbs are made in China
The nationwide news is in English dats a minor
I’m ah -Do what I do. Middle finger foes
No free cyphers or shows it’s all about the doe
Uh …when you around long - they stick they nose up.
The moment - that you skip town your stock goes up.
Put in work and I garuntee that your phone blows up
