lyrics

Caught kwenye cycle ya more and more
Caught up in a triangle with so and so
Inakuwachaakiliiki-circe, square faced ki-spongebob
Fichasura, siowengihutakakuonamachoziikidrop
Alitamka between puffs of smoke na sniffing glue,
Sold her body in Gomorrah, sodomized akiwa fifteen tu
Now dreams are for dreaming juu
No hands wish to fall on her back now,
That’s why she says,

Only God can hold us
Only God hold us
Only God can hold us

Ukiwachini, unaweza feel nikama prayers hazikifiki
Grace aliniwacha, I cheated with Faith maramingi
Steamy nights for the cold days, husuit my heart vifiti
Suits na ties siozangu so no wedding bells will be ringing,
Only God can hold me, mkonozabinadamusi fitting
Naishimaisha vi-reckless nikamanimepewamaishambili,
Scars na bruise sikama tattoos,
Nobody chooses when or where to have them, you wait for them to have you
Na kitunilisahaukuji-remind ni,
uchungunimgeni, mkaribishe, once or twice,
Sikuyatatu, muongeleshemlangoni, usimruhusu, aingie inside
Juuakikuzoea, majiraniwatamtumiakukudefine
Na hakuna word itawezakuuwelcome au kukuremind that

Only God can hold us
Only God hold us
Only God can hold us


On my back making love to fate
Dying in cold nights, breaking a cold sweat
Tenth of my gold,
Just to buy me some hope
Bloody hands in the air,
Only God can help me now.
