Verse 1
Ukiona Mickey Mouse, mshow nina brand new cats
Yesu ndo baba yao nina brand new catch
Alinipa wife msupa nina brand new catch
Exams me hupass so sheito enda buy new CATs
Devil what you looking at me for
Unathani niko venye before
Njia zako zote ni evil
Huezi kunidanganya hivo
Please don't
Please go
Niko na kristo
Nitazidi kuplease God
Nazama ndani ya love
Nipe any tap I will sink in you
Wananitega
Nipe any trap I will sing in you

Verse 2
Wanasema under the sun
There is nothing new man
Ati ata label ya Apple ni Eve aliuma
Uongo they are feeding us sitachew man

Najua sijai enda college
The fear of the Lord
Is the beginning of my knowledge
Nilikua na Solomon one class

Without Jesus you know less
Nko available
Ukitaka nipite hapa, I will pass through it
Ukitaka nikuite Baba, I will just do it
Me ni Nike, I will just, do it
Hello, your highness

Definition of highness
Zingine ziko chini
Kama trao ya High waist

Meaning & Inspiration
Haina Budi is a Swahili and English rap that mixes street slang with a plain statement of faith. The refrain, "Ushai penda Mungu design, design yenye haina budi, so inabidi kurudi," returns to the idea that there is no other way and the rapper must come back to God's design.
The verses use humor and wordplay. One line says "Yesu ndo baba yao," crediting Jesus for a wife and for success, while another turns on a brand name to say there is no stopping a life led by Him. A direct rebuke follows: "Devil what you looking at me for," with a promise to keep pleasing God. The lines about "nothing new under the sun" echo Ecclesiastes 1:9, and "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of my knowledge" is Proverbs 9:10 in the singer's own voice.
The bridge slows down into trust: "As long as I put my trust in you, it's okay." The track suits listeners who like Kenyan urban gospel, where code-switching between languages carries the testimony.
