“Riziki mafungu saba, subira ikawe wako ufunguo.”
Ogopa sana kauli ya kinywa chako
Unapofukuzia zako ndoto
Acha busara na maarifa
Zikutangulie kila unenapo
Word is bond fuata zangu nyayo
Neno lako likawe funzo
uso ukawe nuru ya upendo
Angazia na Mienendo yako
Kila uendapo
Ukibisha hodi ifunguliwe Milango
Usijitie amnazo
Kuwa na msimamo
Usiwe wa kufuata mkumbo
Usipende kuwaudhi na wenzako
Usitumie maneno makali Kama upanga wa moto
Akili ya binadamu utafuta Amani palipo na matukio
Usijenge mahusiano
Pasipo na mwelekeo
Usichanganye sura nzuri na roho ya mke wa kweli usijeukapigwa Tukio
Ishi kistaarabu epuka misukosuko
Simama Kama nguzo
Usiingilie yaso kuhusu kujitia tumbo joto
Usiwaonee wala kuwadhulumu wasonauwezo
Ilishaandikwa utakula kwa jasho lako
Ridhika na kilichochako
Ishi kwa uwezo wako
Riziki mafungu Saba
Subira ikawe wako ufunguo
usiwahi kufa moyo
Ukikosa Leo
Utapata na kesho
yakizidi nafsi matamanio
Utakumbwa na msongo wa mawazo
Usiponiskiliza Sasa mda utafika Utamani Ningekuwepo
Ukishatumbukia nyongo
Mkononi nimeshikilia picha mbili
Moja ya Hawali
Na ya Sasa hivi
Wanangu wananiuliza ungetamani kurudisha mkono wa saa nyuma
Nawajibu la Asha …Nilipotazamia
Kuwepo ndipo nilipo Sasa
Kwenye safari ya maisha
Nimeweza kujijua na kujitambua
iwe mvua Au Jua
Nazidi Tusua
Kuna mda najitoa ufahamu
Nakuamua kuvipotezea visivyonaumuhimu
Yote Tisa ubinadamu
Kuna mda ufika maishani unaamua lisilobudi
Utendwa
Potelea mbali
Naflow na nature
Silazimishi vitu
I give zero Fucks
Sio kupenda kwangu ila niliyoyapitia Sio ya kufumbia macho
Yamenijengea msingi wa Leo
Ndo maana nikajiita kikao
Nakufanya Wamuzi kupuguza idadi
Ya marafiki wanaonizunguka wasonifaidi
wengine walijitoa maana hawageweza kumudu
Kasi Niloweka kuyapa kisogo matukio ya
Comfort zone .
Sio wote wanafamilia wanaokutakia mafanikio
Ukuonyesha meno huku moyoni kinyongo
Ukiona sipokei simu zako
Kuna vile ulivuka Mpaka
Kwenye kaburi la sahau usihano nikazika
Unataka Vipi nikuamini mi mwenyewe sijiamini
Namuamimi mungu tu
Kuna mda Nafsi inataka
Moyo unanambia acha kabisa
Akili inavurugika
Nataka nifanye ushenzi
Oh shit
Nakumbuka na watoto Wanaonitegemea
Kila nikiwatazama usoni najiona Mimi
Napata amasa mapambano kuendelea
I learned fathers love from ma grandpa
So am trying to be the best father to ma sons
Am over ma childhood traumas
Writing ma legacy in graffiti walls of Hiphop
Fear, and so respect, the word of your own mouth — what you speak carries weight and will meet you again.
The hip‑hop maxim “word is bond” — a promise is sacred — fused with the Swahili call to follow in the father's footsteps.
A well‑known Swahili saying: fortune arrives in portions, not all at once, and patience is the key that unlocks each one in its time.
“It is already written that you will eat by your own sweat” — an echo of the proverb that dignity and provision are earned through one's own labor.
“Do not mistake a beautiful face for the true spirit of a faithful wife” — counsel on discernment over appearance in matters of the heart.
The poem's turn from proverb to testimony — wisdom inherited across three generations, and a vow to break old cycles rather than repeat them.
