Nairobi
Orchestre G.O. Malebo Lyrics

I've been missing
I have been feeling the absence of Nairobi in my life

Nairobi
The city of Nairobi, which holds a special place in my heart

It gets peak for me when
I feel the most intense longing for Nairobi when

I start missing the ends
I begin to think of the streets and neighborhoods that I call home

All my homies
My close friends and companions

They keep asking me when
They persistently inquire about

Will they see me again
When I plan to return to Nairobi and reunite with them

These streets ain't for me
I don't feel entirely comfortable or safe in these unfamiliar surroundings

I hear man talking
I frequently overhear people talking

Always whine and barking
Complaining and making a fuss about things

Why they want war me?
Why do they seem to be antagonistic towards me?

Enemies keep larking
My foes continue to lurk around and cause trouble

I just keep on walking
I simply keep moving forward and ignoring them

Home's where mind and the heart is
A place becomes home when it is deeply embedded in one's heart and thoughts

When I left home, in my mind was a target
When I left Nairobi, I knew I was leaving behind something precious, which made me vulnerable and exposed

Love to my fans and the fam
I express my affection and appreciation for my supporters and family

Been a long road but I'm thankful for the margins
It has been a challenging journey, but I am grateful for the small successes and progress I have made

The story's been carefully crafted
My personal journey has been shaped and refined through deliberate and thoughtful choices

Hasn't been smooth but the journey just started
Although my path has been rocky, I know that there is much more to come

Took flight for the grades and the bag but I still rep my ends till I'm dearly departed
I pursued my goals and aspirations, but I remain loyal to my roots and community until the end

And still when I'm up I've gone clear
Despite my success and achievements, I remain grounded and focused

After the ice and the Gucci and moncler
Even after indulging in expensive and luxurious things

My heart's got a place for the warm cheer
My heart still has room for the warmth and comfort of my hometown

And all the things that remind me I'm from here
The familiar sights and sounds that bring back memories of my upbringing and identity

I still got love for the liz
I still have affection and respect for the place I once lived

When I touch down
When I return to Nairobi

Swear it's back to the biz
I am fully committed to my work and duties in the city

Gassed for the landing
I am eager and excited to arrive in Nairobi

My tummy's got the fizz
I feel butterflies in my stomach with anticipation

Can't wait to chop it up
I am eager to catch up and spend time with

With my bros no kizz
With my close friends and companions, no outsiders allowed
