letra de mari - malcom mufunde & yaaduniverse

intro: maka
how dare he say something like this? but then i realized you know what? this guy is so talented and he is going to be so rich and…he’s just going to be so rich. so i remember that’s when i introduced this thing that we’ve always had. i told him, “malcom, whoever makes a million dollars first between the two of us, we should make a promise that we’ll split it in half (giggles) – give the other person half then they’ll remain with half.” then he was just like, “yeah, let’s do that.” so it’s always been a thing likе, “you owe me half a million dollars so don’t just disappear on mе.”

verse 1:
money talks but it gave us the silent treatment
we invested our love but she never showed us interest
so we imitated the richest
didn’t know you make more profit if you mind your own business
we had broke pockets and our hearts broken
disappointed like the burglars that had our house broken
just life and unfairness
had a handful to deal with but always left empty-handed
the bills in our wallets couldn’t pay all our bills
but we learnt to drive forward without automobiles
i’m from the underground, ten storeys up was the bas-m-nt
had to come up with a story every time we missed a payment
i had a silver spoon but it meant something else though
utensils was the most we could bring to the table
the idea was to be cheap at all costs
it wasn’t in our price range if we could buy it in notes

chorus:
ndoda mari, mwari
wani makati tichasimukira gare gare
zvamhanjemhanje ndarangarira makarekare
mutongo w-ngu ndewei, nhasi ndagara dare
ndipeiwo rugare
ndoda mari, mwari
wani makati tichasimukira gare gare
zvamhanjemhanje ndarangarira makarekare
mutongo w-ngu ndewei, nhasi ndagara dare
ndipeiwo rugare
verse 2:
we lived in numbers so we learnt to budget
there’s a dime a dozen ways a dime will feed a dozen
if my back against the wall, i was taught to break the wall
so even without a balance, i could never fall
see, our hassle was to hustle every hour for the family
so we couldn’t entertain the thought of entertainment
while other kids stayed close to the television
i was trynna avoid the closed-circuit television
so my kids will never play cops & robbers with me
i’mma tell them daddy avoiding the ptsd
of my daddy slaving full time to catch a break
but because of unemployment, couldn’t make it work
i’m from a city where money meant love
coz women had love for money, men had money for love
i never had the sweet dollar so i grew up salty
i didn’t drive a phantom so all the women would ghost me

chorus:
ndoda mari, mwari
wani makati tichasimukira gare gare
zvamhanjemhanje ndarangarira makarekare
mutongo w-ngu ndewei, nhasi ndagara dare
ndipeiwo rugare
ndoda mari, mwari
wani makati tichasimukira gare gare
zvamhanjemhanje ndarangarira makarekare
mutongo w-ngu ndewei, nhasi ndagara dare
ndipeiwo rugare
verse 3:
so before i meet my end, may i make my ends meet
may they say i rode something else other than a beat
i’m just trynna look fly before i get my angel wings
in school i did shine but now i need a different bling
i’m from below the poverty line
that’s why i chronicle poverty as i’m writing these lines
i lead a life where my life is not in the lead
coz without any assets, you can’t assert anything
most of my cousins had capital, i never had that
and since i never got a start, i wonder where i’ll end up
life ain’t just but i learnt to adjust
now we speak in past tense how it was tense in the past
coz i overcame what came over our way
so even without the money, there’s respect that i pay
to the ones that still believe i’m the one
for you’re the reason that i never fell short in the long run
