Shoulders of a Man (Remix)
A song made by Onegbtz
(Eeh baba, yeah)
Listen to the heartbeat of the street
Life is a climb, yeah
Bongo, we keep moving
Early morning, sun dey rise for Kariakoo
I wake up with the weight, thinking what I gotta do
As a man, you no fit fold, you no fit cry
You keep the vision clean, you keep your head to the sky
Nimesimama imara, though the road e dey rough
Sometimes I ask God, 'Is this journey enough?'
But I remember where I come from, my roots are deep
I plant the seeds of labor while the whole city sleep
Safari ya maisha, it’s a long way home
As a man, you dey struggle, you dey build on your own
Nipambane, nisimame, I will never let go
Safi sana, this the fire, this the life that I know
Safari ya maisha, yeah, we rise to the top
No competition, man, we never gonna stop
People look at me, they see the smile, they see the gold
But they no see the stories that have never been told
Bills on the table, family needs to eat
I’m dancing with the struggle on these Dar es Salaam street
'Kaka, uko poa?' they ask me every day
I say 'Niko safi,' even when I’m losing my way
But pressure makes a diamond, yeah, that’s what they say
I’m grinding for the future, I’m working for the pay
Safari ya maisha, it’s a long way home
As a man, you dey struggle, you dey build on your own
Nipambane, nisimame, I will never let go
Safi sana, this the fire, this the life that I know
Safari ya maisha, yeah, we rise to the top
No competition, man, we never gonna stop
(Twende, twende!)
Strength of a lion, heart of a king
Through the winter storm, I’m waiting for the spring
Chukwu, guide my footsteps, keep my spirit light
I’m fighting for my destiny, I’m winning every fight
Safari ya maisha, it’s a long way home
As a man, you dey struggle, you dey build on your own
Nipambane, nisimame, I will never let go
Safi sana, this the fire, this the life that I know
Safari ya maisha, yeah, we rise to the top
No competition, man, we never gonna stop
Eeh baba, we keep the fire burning
From the streets to the throne
Never stop, never drop
Safi, safi, yeah
Safari ya maisha, it continues
Kali!
