Me Lyrics; IT’S GOT TO BE ME ...
Verse 1: Me I move in silence in the middle of the night, Looking through the third eye I am seeing inner sight, Feeling very sure I am here for a reason me I’m fully focused, I am winning it’s my season. Holding my position, stronger than conditions Najitambulisha kwa majina yangu boss, Najitegemea kweka maisha yangu tops Shika mpaka coast, We don’t even post, real moments wasidhani sisi tuna boast, real moments kama hizi party kwenye boats river and the source, rebel with a cause Queen of the city, sitting pretty on the throne
(its got to be me) x4
Chorus: And what goes around come come around, What goes around come come around Give love today watch it go come back around So no matter how they try They never can take it away
V2: Siku hizi ngumu sana kunibabaisha, Niko very sure kama Nameless wa maisha, watu watanikumbukaga mpaka na manywele watu watanikumbushaga Nai kuku mwewe, and i’m so aware, home i’m very rare but huku niko wera nikiongezaga ratings ninasaka za kumanga after za investing, Hakuna time ya wasting , busy na ma blessing, later niko kwenye session pigia SWIZZA, ni waulize kama pesa yangu imefika, kulingana na matrending sisi tumeshika Issa pretty picture but bado hatujafika
(its got to be me me) x4 Chorus: And what goes around come come around, What goes around comes come around Give love today watch it go come back around So no matter how they try They never can take it awayMUTHONI DRUMMER QUEEN- CrazyMuthoni Drummer Queen2021-11-18 | Composed, produced, and arranged by GR! & Hook Written and performed by Muthoni Drummer Queen Mixed by Pascal Deshayes @ Royal Studios, Lausanne

Greatness Lyrics.
The time we have longed for is here, this is not a time for your fear, lend me your ear the first light of dawn is near na kama uko mbali nina omba karibia, (Big facts) Speak truth to power, bring down the tower, of babel, kwa ground huku vitu si sawa, kidonda haiponi bila dawa hekaya za “mnataka ni do what” haiwezi,
Cheki, brother, were fikiria, nani analia, nani anashangilia, who stands to gain when we’re not united ka soka itabidi every man united and woman and child and non-binary, this is not a dirge of a nation dying, its a freedom song liberation crying, wajibu nina jipa, i’m my brother’s keeper.
this is not some noise, twitter fingers taking up a voice, we are now contending with a generation’s choice, we are not your toys, we are not your boyz, calm dedicated, steady poise,
You cannot buy us, don’t share your bias, for tribe, for greed, the fruit of your seed corruption, destruction, the leaders that we need, is for us, by us, with us, alafu, ha tuta vuka sakafu ha tuta melt kama barafu the center will hold, brave and we are bold, won’t do as we’re told, the lies that you sold
Come from a long line of resistance, to jog your memory I will offer assistance, Mekatilili, Pio gama pinto, Koitalel, Wangari wa maathai, Tom Mboya, Dedan wa Kimathi General Muthoni, Yash pal Ghai Greatness, Greatness, Kenya is for greatness, Kenya is for greatness

In the highs and the lows I still live for the cause, take the wins, and the loss, Giving love no remorse, You know, I’ve got the understanding around me, Sharper than an eagle eye I bless the situation around me, lifted on another high
This time open, this time open, this time open for me Keep eye open, keep eye open, keep eye open for me
Chorus: Every other day me’a give thanks (give thanks) Even when my life’s in the deep end (deep end) We are really happy we don’t pretend (pretend) Every other day when we rise up, every other day me’a give thanks
Every other time when we link up, Happy for another day Every other time is a good time Happy for the chance todayMuthoni Drummer Queen x Book Bunk (Wanjiru Koinange)Muthoni Drummer Queen2021-09-08 | The African Creative industry is growing rapidly and changing the game everywhere across the continent.

I found my power when I came into my mind. I just kept thinking about the same things over & over and feeling unsatisfied with the outcome. In the end, I decided to follow my instincts and break up with ideas that didn't make sense. I found a God of my own understanding. I found freedom and joy and possibility in being me. I found amazing friends who have helped me with everything. I found companionship in family. I found home in my ideas. I have learnt so much from trying, even more from loosing. I found my power when I came home to me. I honor your power. Come home to you.

VERSE I You would have us forget You would have us make it easier Have us regret you would never say her name you would have us forget How the mothers’ pressure freed the sons and daughters caught in torture chambers TALK ABOUT IT!
Yeah we’ve always been great For a long time now, But you always debate for a long time now, what a woman should make, what a woman should take, but you never ask the woman WHAT A BASIC MISTAKE Naona chenye mimi sita do Ni ku argue na mafala busy body like you wale wanafikiria sindiria ni weakness ni better ni speak less ma actions mu-witness Keep saying not the right time You keep telling us not the right time You keep saying not the right time You keep telling us not the right time

Doctors & health care workers in my home town Nairobi (Kenya) are on strike. Again. We are in the middle of a global pandemic caused by the Corona Virus outbreak, but the KE government in cahoots with 'opposition' x their families & friends have embezzled money meant for PPEs. They also have refused to pay health care workers for over 2months and have slashed their health insurance. Basically, a shit storm. I'm the girl with a guitarist saying this is not it.

LYRICS [Verse 1] Tangu ile siku tuku-elect, haushikagi simu man 'tuwezi connect Nimekuwa nikisaka an appointment Nimekuwa niki-suffer disappointment Siku hizi si hukuonaga kwa telly Sisi maubao, wewe lunch hoteli Panganga panganga na ma-pot belly Conmen, watchmen wanakupangia wakikusalimia Na we huwezi notice hata huwezi dhania Siku hizi country yote venye kuna njaa Kila mtu anafikiria tu chapaa

[Verse 2] Na wale wana dooh ni one percent Si huwaonanga siku ya kulipa rent Sisi hukuanga ndani ya predicament Biggest spender government and church officials Na miracles zao so artificial The congregation wako so superficial Wanataka ule Mungu mu-beneficial Unofficial kitambulisho unaweza get in a few days Unaweza get in a few ways Unaweza get bila delays Nowadays hosi hakuna ma-doctor Na gava haijali juu sisi wagonjwa tukienda private tuta-pay so ni obvious nani ana say
[Hook] Don't push me coz im close to the edge I'm trying not to loose my head (Ni kama jungle sometimes mimi huwanda mbona sijaenda under) X4
[Verse 3] Hakuna dooh ka mafuta ya Waarabu Lakini pia dooh kwa futa si ajabu Vile kina Sep Blatter wamepakua dooh ka bufett kwa platter Na vile sisi hupendanga news Na vile sisi hupeaga views, ma-likes, ma-shares, kuji-amuse Na world affairs, ma-world issues siku hizi ni za social media Modern daily, encyclopedia Kufuata hawa ma-socialite wakienda Naija ku-socialize

Life is literally what you make it. There is no template for your life because you're the one living it. I honor the creator in you and invite you to create a life you love. The one that's authentic to you.
During these times of great uncertainty, I have spent more time being still and not reacting to things.I accept that I know nothing and nothing is what it seems to be. This period of crisis is a great opportunity, but you will miss it all if you keep reacting to it. Be still. Sit in the silence within. That's where everything you need is. And it's available for everyone.

I can't thank the Red Bull Kenya team enough for the support. #EssentialServices. Since music became a job, my pure love of music got tied in with whatever commercial results I was seeking. So when Corona came around & all the plans got trashed, I felt lost and out of live with it all. I literally could not stand to hear music. I've been trying to find my way back. Thank you Robin Marcel for holding my hand, and Red Bull Kenya for enabling my healing. ❤️

Million Voice derives its inspiration from the tenacity and drive of millions of ordinary, everyday people doing whatever it takes to put bread on their table and create a meaningful impactful life inspite (or maybe because) of the circumstances. Million Voice is especially inspired by the immigrant communities here in kenya, where, as in many parts of the world, they often have to work twice as hard and with much less structural support to put together a decent life for themselves and their families, including the ones who are left behind in their homes of origin.

LYRICS [Verse 1] Tangu ile siku tuku-elect, haushikagi simu man 'tuwezi connect Nimekuwa nikisaka an appointment Nimekuwa niki-suffer disappointment Siku hizi si hukuonaga kwa telly Sisi maubao, wewe lunch hoteli Panganga panganga na ma-pot belly Conmen, watchmen wanakupangia wakikusalimia Na we huwezi notice hata huwezi dhania Siku hizi country yote venye kuna njaa Kila mtu anafikiria tu chapaa
[Hook] Don't push me 'coz I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head (Ni kama jungle sometimes mimi hu-wonder mbona sijaenda under) X4
[Verse 2] Na wale wana dooh ni one percent Si huwaonanga siku ya kulipa rent Sisi hukuanga ndani ya predicament Biggest spender government and church officials Na miracles zao so artificial The congregation wako so superficial Wanataka ule Mungu mu-beneficial Unofficial kitambulisho unaweza get in a few days Unaweza get in a few ways Unaweza get bila delays Nowadays hosi hakuna ma-doctor Na gava haijali juu sisi wagonjwa tukienda private tuta-pay so ni obvious nani ana say
[Hook] Don't push me coz im close to the edge I'm trying not to loose my head (Ni kama jungle sometimes mimi huwanda mbona sijaenda under) X4
[Verse 3] Hakuna dooh ka mafuta ya Waarabu Lakini pia dooh kwa futa si ajabu Vile kina Sep Blatter wamepakua dooh ka bufett kwa platter Na vile sisi hupendanga news Na vile sisi hupeaga views, ma-likes, ma-shares, kuji-amuse Na world affairs, ma-world issues siku hizi ni za social media Modern daily, encyclopedia Kufuata hawa ma-socialite wakienda Naija ku-socialize
[Hook] (Don't push me coz im close to the edge I'm trying not to loose my head Ni kama jungle sometimes mimi huwanda mbona sijaenda under) X4
