Yoh Ayyy …………………… It’s Caliboy
(Gentle guitar plucks, soft bass line, steady rhythmic sway)
Yeah, listen closely
Sometimes the silence speaks louder than the words
We built to hold it all, but even stone cracks
Listen to the rhythm of the heart
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
I see you walking in, expecting the world to revolve
But look into my eyes, let these mysteries resolve
They say a man is a mountain, standing tall and deep
But mountains have valleys where the weary secrets sleep
I offer you my love, a garden for your grace
But darling, take a breath, let me find my space
It’s not a game of power, not a war to be won
It’s about two shadows dancing beneath the setting sun
Always know that Mwamuna ni muntu nayeve
I need the warmth of your care, a love that's never heavy
I’m a man, I’m a soul, I need the pampering too
And that’s how, I renew my strength, mmh that’s how I find my courage
So don’t always make it all about you, let me be soft with you
Yeah, Mwamuna ni muntu nayeve, let the truth be known
We’re building a kingdom, not a place to feel alone
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
I carry the weight of the family, the stress of the grind
I keep the demons locked away, deep inside my mind
That’s the default setting, the armor that we wear
But sometimes the pressure is more than I can bear
If you see my temper flare, or I seem to pull away
It’s not because I’m cold, or have nothing left to say
It’s the little things, the quiet storms inside my head
Words unspoken, dreams that were left unsaid
I know that I am a man, and society expect me not to break,
But to always hold it together, mmh despite the pain and all that,
Truth be told, we ain’t immune to pain nor to frustrations,
Yes, sometimes we act all cool, mmh all strong, all in control,
But there always comes a point, where we can’t pretend no more,
And that’s the place where I need you to,
Always know that Mwamuna ni muntu nayeve
I need the warmth of your care, a love that's never heavy
I’m a man, I’m a soul, I need the pampering too
And that’s how, I renew my strength, mmh that’s how I find my courage
So don’t make it all about you, let me be honest with you
Yeah, Mwamuna ni muntu nayeve, let the truth be known
We’re building a kingdom, not a place to feel alone
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
mmmmmmh
It’s the simple things, a touch, a gentle word
To know my silent struggles are felt and truly heard
When we ignore the balance, that’s when bridges start to break
Mmh I need some tujatuja so, tuma tender touch, elo natuma loving,
Pantu naine, ka attention so, monga mwana, nima kafunako time time
For both our spirits' sake,
I’m fragile in the places where I’m supposed to be strong
Love me in the weakness, that’s where I belong,
Don't always make a relationship all about you,
That's why vimakanga pa last. See, mmh often times,
As men we get to go through so much, mmh a whole lot,
And we don't easily talk about it nor open up, about the stuff we get to deal with,
Coz that's how we are built, mmh it's our default setting,
But when the going gets tough, uza wona che tuma temper temper so,
Easily getting irritated, possibly with even tuma little little things,
Then just know that, Daddy also needs some, tuma attention so,
You see, loving is very easy, but we just complicate things by ourselves,
For it's all about reading your partner, noticing tuma little little things,
The very ones which brighten their face, and light up their spirit,
It's not always about big big things, no, no, no
Mmmmmmh,
Always know that Mwamuna ni muntu nayeve
I need the warmth of your care, a love that's never heavy
I’m a man, I’m a soul, I need the pampering too
And that’s how, I renew my strength, mmh that’s how I find my courage
Don’t always make it all about you, let me be soft with you
Yeah, Mwamuna ni muntu nayeve, let the truth be known
We’re building a kingdom, not a place to feel alone
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
Mmmmmmh
Yeah, just a man, just a heart
Let’s start again, right from the start
Be gentle with me
I’m gentle with you
That’s the way we bloom
Just you and I
Pantu mwamuna ni muntu nayeve, Pamper him,
Mmmh, sho!
(Fade out with soft guitar melody)
