Gates of Hustle
Can you please find a relevant beat?
Afrobeats, Bongo Flava, Amapiano...
Yeah, open up the gates now.
(let's go)
Mtaani ghetto tushasimama imara Kila hatua ni hesabu ya sarafu na hasara
Surviving the concrete, dreaming in gold Stories of hunger and power untold
Tunasaka maisha milango inafunguka Toka geti la giza nuru inazuka Step into
the circle, feel the ground shake Africa rising with every choice we
make (ndio hivyo)
Fungua geti, milango wazi
Tunapita bila woga kwenye hii kazi
(hapo sawa)
Rising from the struggle to the crown
Can't hold us down
Milango inafunguka, we breaking the wall!
From Dar es Salaam till the bass drops tall!
(fungua, fungua!) Nchi nzima inapiga sherehe sasa hivi
We survive, we arrive,
no fear in the city! (ooh-yeah)
Penye nia pana njia,
we carve our lane Turning the pressure right into the gain Mashujaa
wa mtaa, miguu chini kwanza Kila ngoma tunayopiga lazima iwaze They said
the gates were locked with heavy chains We brought the keys and
washed off the pain Umoja ni nguvu,
tell them out loud Mikono juu,
making mama proud (kabisa)
Fungua geti, milango wazi
Tunapita bila woga kwenye hii kazi
(we rise)
Rising from the struggle to the crown
Can't hold us down
Milango inafunguka, we breaking the wall!
From Dar es Salaam till the bass drops tall!
(fungua, fungua!) Nchi nzima inapiga sherehe sasa hivi
We survive, we arrive,
no fear in the city! (yeah!)
Toka vumbi hadi heshima
(vumbi hadi heshima)
Ndoto zetu zimesimama wima
Through the trial and the fire we grow
Listen to the heartbeat down below (sikiliza sasa)
Fungua! Fungua geti sasa!
(fungua!) Africa we shining,
hatushindwi kamwe!
Dance through the pavement,
let the drums roll!
(bouncing, rolling, yeah) Mikono hewani,
the city is whole!
Milango wazi sasa.
Every gate is open.
East Africa to the world,
you know the name.
(mm-hmmm) Stay standing.
