[INTRO] Benga... Eh eh... Listen... Listen... Before the road... Before the city... There was a name... There was a story... [VERSE 1] Nilipozaliwa Sikuwa na mali Sikuwa na nguvu Sikuwa na cheo Lakini nilikuwa na kitu Kilichotangulia vyote Jina la mababu Na historia yao Bibi aliniambia Usiku wa moto "Mtoto wangu Dunia itabadilika Lakini usiache Kile ulicho" Nilisikiliza kimya Nikatazama nyota Na maneno yale Yakakaa moyoni [HOOK] Mimi ni nani Bila mizizi yangu Mimi ni nani Bila sauti yangu Wanaweza kubadilisha Ramani za dunia Lakini hawawezi kufuta Hadithi yangu Mizizi hai Mizizi hai Ndani yangu Mizizi hai [VERSE 2] Nilitembea baharini Nikavuka mipaka Nikakutana na dunia Ya haraka na kubwa Waliniambia: "Badilika" Waliniambia: "Sahau" Waliniambia: "Kuwa kama sisi" Lakini moyo ulikataa Kwa sababu mti mkubwa Husimama kwa mizizi Na mtu anayejijua Hasukumwi na upepo Ninapoongea lugha yangu Nasikia nyumbani Ninapoimba nyimbo zetu Nasikia mababu [PRE] Hatupigani kwa hasira Hatupigani kwa silaha Tunasimama kwa kumbukumbu Tunasimama kwa utambulisho [HOOK] Mimi ni nani Bila mizizi yangu Mimi ni nani Bila sauti yangu Wanaweza kubadilisha Ramani za dunia Lakini hawawezi kufuta Hadithi yangu Mizizi hai Mizizi hai Ndani yangu Mizizi hai [VERSE 3] Mtoto wangu akiniuliza "Tulitoka wapi?" Sitampa ukimya Nitampa hadithi Nitamuonyesha picha Nitamtajia majina Nitamuimbia nyimbo Za watu wetu Kwa sababu kesho Huanzia jana Na taifa huishi Ndani ya kumbukumbu Ukivunja daraja Kati ya jana na leo Unapoteza njia Ya kesho [BRIDGE] I am not only a passport I am not only a face I am every voice before me Every journey Every place I carry names I carry dreams I carry stories Through generations And that is strength [GUITAR SOLO] Classic Kenyan Benga lead guitar Answering vocal phrases Flowing like memory Across generations [FINAL HOOK] Mimi ni nani Bila mizizi yangu Mimi ni nani Bila sauti yangu Wanaweza kubadilisha Ramani za dunia Lakini hawawezi kufuta Hadithi yangu Mizizi hai Mizizi hai Ndani yangu Mizizi hai Mizizi hai... Mizizi hai... Mizizi hai...
