Cool Waters (Prelude)

(Ginton)

(Come and say hi) DVK

Uh, in Nairobi, very dangerous

Watch your step, fresh dummies get shaved like a papercut

In Nairobi, very dangerous

Ignore the rest, get money, display love (Uh)

Make way for the Dave coming through, the biggest stepper

All these wicked lectures, I feel like the sickest ever

Used to think I wasn't the prize, other kids were fresher

Now I'm steady on the rise like apartments in Kileleshwa

At the table gauging new offers, bring the letters

Place of cool waters in the centre

City where the nduthis are paid few coppers to kill the pressure

Played by crook jobbers with the tenders

Streets full of smooth talkers giving gestures, spin defensive measures

Soldiers play rough, focus is living better

Dreams of gripping cheddar, flipping pages just to fly around

Before I hit the stage, need the money wired up in my account

Tryna shy away from dire routes

Kanairo dwellers known to party longer than the lines at Nyayo House

Living nights you couldn't write about

Put your fucking hands in the sky if you want Zakayo out (Put your fucking hands up, you guy)

In Nairobi, very dangerous (It's very dangerous)

Watch your step, fresh dummies get shaved like a papercut (Walai)

In Nairobi, very dangerous

Ignore the rest, get money, display love (Ignore the rest, you guy)

In Nairobi, very dangerous (It's very dangerous)

Watch your step, fresh dummies get shaved like a papercut

In Nairobi, very dangerous (Uh-huh)

Ignore the rest, get money, display love (Get your money up, you guy)

In Nairobi, very dangerous (It's very dangerous)

Watch your step, fresh dummies get shaved like a papercut (Like a papercut)

In Nairobi, very dangerous (Uh)

Ignore the rest, get money, display love (It's all love over here, you guy)

In Nairobi, very dangerous

In Nairobi, richer tools stroke their egos with donos for the paupers

Then go to protests to post for optics dressed like joggers

It's funny how Makhan Singh did 11 years

Repping workers crying for pay

But Indian Kenyans cut loose to count stacks

Instead of fighting for change
