🎤 LYRICS
[INTRO]
City lights...
Nairobi...
Twende...
[VERSE 1]
Coffee getting colder
Laptop still alive
Dreams don't sleep in Kilimani
They work until sunrise
Every street remembers
Someone chasing more
Not for fame or cameras
But opening another door
Mbele kidogo
Pole pole
Every night writes
Another chapter
[PRE-CHORUS]
Hakuna shortcut
Hakuna miracle
Only another step
Another tomorrow
[HOOK]
Twende...
Twende mbele
City never sleeps
Na sisi pia
Twende...
Twende mbele
One more mile
One more dream
[VERSE 2]
Rain across the windows
Traffic still in flow
Every building keeps a story
Only workers know
Some are writing music
Some are building code
Some are feeding families
Walking the same road
Nothing comes in silence
Everything has weight
Tomorrow starts tonight
Never too late
[BRIDGE]
Look ahead...
Breathe...
Kesho...
Is already calling...
[FINAL HOOK]
Twende...
Twende mbele
City never sleeps
Na sisi pia
Twende...
Twende mbele
One more mile
One more dream
[OUTRO]
Nairobi...
Kesho ni yetu...
