lyrics

NOBODY MI NO WAIT (Nobody to Wait For)

My mama ran away from me
and my papa ran away to the bush
My family ran
I’m the number one
My past is my enemy
Now I wait for no-one
I play music which keeps me going

But I still let go and I still play like a champion
But music is my game
every day I play, mama
After jungle life my life’s not been easy

CHORUS
There’s nobody to wait for
There’s nobody to wait for
When I want to do my game
There’s nobody to wait for
There’s nobody to wait for
When I want to go forward
There’s nobody to wait for
There’s nobody to wait for
When I want to kick my game
There’s nobody to wait for
There’s nobody to wait for
When I concentrate

Mama said plenty of things
my father pushed me far far away
I sit alone, crying
The memories come and hit my head
Dreams are always coming and I cannot sleep
and I choose the streets
bad men, bad friends
and they just bug me
I do not care about them
I do nothing
But still they sit and gossip about my name
Now who am I going to wait for?
My mother, my family have all gone
Who should I look for?
When the people are all pointing fingers at me
The stigmatisation after the jungle
has not been easy for me

CHORUS

Channel One (the name of his group) on the ground, we are the number one
When we appear in the town
some people will run
Some say the game is hot
Some are finished
Some are cartoons but we are big boys
Lots of talk against me
but I cannot listen to them
I have my game and I have my dream
I’m not going to wait for anybody
Look at me go
Bra, look at me go
GK media on the mix
Look at me go
Look at me go
Like a Caterpillar (bulldozer) I’m coming
If you stand in my way I will push you down

CHORUS
