Ha, ladies (oh baby) Africa oh yeah (oh baby)
X2
Oh baby yo my one and only (only)
Oh baby yo my one and only (only)
But I might take, but I might take gwe ne muno
But I might take, but I might take gwe ne muno
She′s the one and only, promise
From the shows, tours, office
Must be on auction with other offers
But I stay true cos she know who the boss is
Try break us but I don't do losses
I aint Jesus, why they try cross us?
Pay my dues no matter what they cost us
We aint leaving, you can′t force us
She got style, she's a rider, no saddle
We goin' back and forth, it aint a battle
I′m thinkin′ dowry, cattle
Damn it I'd do it all for the spouse
Like fall for the house
My UK boys tellin′ me stop assin' about
Like studio we do a couple of bars
Then we bounce, I′m out
Oh baby yo my one and only (only)
Oh baby yo my one and only (only)
But I might take, but I might take gwe ne muno
But I might take, but I might take gwe ne muno
At first I was too sober to meet her
Always been an over-achiever
A lot of cats think I cool with a diva
'Cause of the girl that I chose for my feature
But I aint after no tourist
And she doesn′t even hang with performers
She's already hot, club's like a solar
I aint a boxer but she′s in my corner
She′s so sick but I don't get the nausea
She got drive, I′ma call her Porsche
She's my one and only, use caution
But she′s African, that's awesome
She like countries let′s tour some
Her and two homies don't mean a foursome
Girl, you proportion, but if you wanna find me
It's her eyes that I′m lost in, this awesome
If not God, do it for my sake
No beef I′m already playing high stakes
The only food for thought on my plate
I want you, dunno who you might take
The closest star, yo the sun to me
Yo hot, just tell me what you want from me
I just brought her to keep you company
'Cause truth is, there′s only one for me
Yeah you could get your friends
I'ma get my friends
But you know who I′m there for right? One.
I tried to warn you get down get down.
Oh baby yo my one and only (only)
Oh baby yo my one and only (only)
But I might take, but I might take gwe ne muno
But I might take, but I might take gwe ne muno

Africa oh yeah (oh baby)
Africa, yeah (oh baby)
Oh baby yo my one and only (only)
Oh baby, you are my one and only (only)
But I might take, but I might take gwe ne muno
But I might take another chance, but maybe not
She?s the one and only, promise
She truly is the only one for me
From the shows, tours, office
Despite my busy schedule, she's always there
Must be on auction with other offers
She's in high demand, but she's mine
But I stay true cos she know who the boss is
I remain loyal because she knows I am the boss here
Try break us but I don't do losses
People try to break us apart, but we won't lose
I aint Jesus, why they try cross us?
I am not the savior, so why do people try to interfere?
Pay my dues no matter what they cost us
I will always pay my dues, regardless of the sacrifices it takes
We aint leaving, you can?t force us
We're not going anywhere, nobody can force us apart
She got style, she's a rider, no saddle
She is stylish and independent, she doesn't need anyone to control her
We goin' back and forth, it aint a battle
We argue back and forth but it's not a fight
I?m thinkin? dowry, cattle
I'm thinking about traditional dowry payments
Damn it I'd do it all for the spouse
I would do anything for my partner
Like fall for the house
I'd even fall for the house, if it came down to it
My UK boys tellin? me stop assin' about
My friends in the UK are telling me to stop messing around
Like studio we do a couple of bars
We spend time in the studio making music
Then we bounce, I'm out
Then we leave, I'm done for the day
At first I was too sober to meet her
At first, I was not drunk enough to meet her
Always been an over-achiever
I have always been someone who exceeds expectations
A lot of cats think I cool with a diva
Many people think I'm cool with a high-maintenance woman
'Cause of the girl that I chose for my feature
Because of the woman I chose to feature in my music
But I aint after no tourist
But I'm not interested in someone who's just visiting
And she doesn't even hang with performers
And she doesn't even socialize with other performers like I do
She's already hot, club's like a solar
She's already popular, and when she enters a club, the atmosphere heats up
I aint a boxer but she?s in my corner
I'm not a boxer, but she supports me like a cornerman would
She?s so sick but I don't get the nausea
She's so amazing, but I never get sick of her
She got drive, I?ma call her Porsche
She's very driven and I will nickname her Porsche
Use caution
Be careful
But she?s African, that's awesome
But the fact that she's African is amazing
She like countries let?s tour some
She wants to visit different countries and I'm excited to go with her
Her and two homies don't mean a foursome
Just because she's with two friends doesn't mean we're going to have a group experience
Girl, you proportion, but if you wanna find me
Girl, you have a great figure, but if you want to locate me
It's her eyes that I'm lost in, this awesome
I am amazed by her beautiful eyes and get lost in them
If not God, do it for my sake
If you don't do it for God, do it for me
No beef I'm already playing high stakes
I don't want any problems, I'm already taking a big risk
The only food for thought on my plate
The only thing on my mind is you
I want you, dunno who you might take
I want you, but I don't know who else you might be interested in
The closest star, yo the sun to me
You are the closest star to me, like the sun
Yo hot, just tell me what you want from me
You're attractive, let me know what you want
I just brought her to keep you company
I just brought her along to keep you company
'Cause truth is, there's only one for me
Because the truth is, there's only one person for me
Yeah you could get your friends
You can hang out with your friends
I'ma get my friends
I'll hang out with my friends
But you know who I?m there for right? One.
But you know who I'm there for, right? You, the one I love.
I tried to warn you get down get down.
I tried to warn you, but you didn't listen

@claverbusima3596
10 Years ago I thought this was timeless piece. I still think it is a timeless piece today. It’s made me very nostalgic. I can’t believe it’s almost 10 years since I left Uganda my beautiful home! Navio, thank you for the beautiful memories!
