(Ayy, yoh)BIKO ONE IN THE BUILDING
Deep inside, you know I gave it all
But the walls were closing in, yeah
I was fighting for us by myself, INE LELO NAVOMERA KUTI SINDIWE WANGA
I gave you every piece of my heart, laid it on the floor
But you chose someone else to hold, what am I living for?
I see you moving on, yeah you looking so fine
But that smile you give him, used to be mine
Why not me, why not me, baby?
I’m the one who stayed, the one who tried, why not me?
My love was solid, CHIKONDI CHATU CHAKUNDALA CHAYENDA KUTI
Maybe I wasn't perfect, maybe I fell short of the prize
But every 'I love you' was real, I saw it in my eyes
Every promise I made came straight from the soul
Now you left me here, empty, losing all control
I won't disturb you again, I’m taking my pace
I’ll just step back and give you all the space you want in this place
Why not me, why not me, baby?
I’m the one who stayed, the one who tried, why not me?
My love was solid, but you left it in the sea
Now you’re with him and I’m just a memory
I’m looking at another man, wondering what he’s got
Is it the way he talks, or the way he loves you hot?
One day the tears you caused, they’re coming back to you
In a language only pain can translate, yeah, it’s true
NIMAKUPENZA NAMWAMUNA WINANGO UMANIUNZA KUTI NIMUNZAKO
Why not me, why not me, baby?
I’m the one who stayed, the one who tried, why not me?
My love was solid, but you left it in the sea
Now you’re with him and I’m just a memory
I won’t disturb you, no, I’m moving on
Found my peace now that you’re gone
(Yoh)
Just a memory, yeah
(Ayy)
Why not me?... CHAWAMA IS MY HOMETOWN
