Eh mpaka lage mpaka lage
Map kembe la la
Eh mpaka lage
Fok mwen kembe
Eh mpaka lage mpaka lage
Map kembe la la
Eh mpaka lage
Fok mwen kembe
I've been losing my colors
Been slipping way under
Swimming in black waters and I
Can't find the shore no
I've been running with no rest
Ain't no catching my breath
I ain't sleeping in my bed
I can't get these thoughts outta my head
All of these demons get rough
They never know when to stop
Sweeping me under the rug
Bless the high but fuck these lows
But damn when it's finally done
I'm strong like the African Sun
Got everything I need to keep me going
Eh mpaka lage mpaka lage
Map kembe la la
Eh mpaka lage
Fok mwen kembe
Eh mpaka lage mpaka lage
Map kembe la la
Eh mpaka lage
Fok mwen kembe
I let things hit me deeply
Heavy weight till I can't breathe
I keep the noise right beside me
This cycle's pulling me mad deep
I've been running with no rest
Ain't no catching my breath
I'm not sleeping in my bed
I can't get these thoughts out of my head
All of these demons get rough
I never know when to stop
Sweeping me under the rug
Bless the high but fuck these lows
But damn when it's finally done
I'm strong like the African Sun
Got everything I need to keep me going
Eh mpaka lage mpaka lage
Map kembe la la
Eh mpaka lage
Fok mwen kembe
Eh mpaka lage mpaka lage
Map kembe la la
Eh mpaka lage
Fok mwen kembe
