Lyrics
Eee baba nipe nguvu, sababu nimechoka
Nipe nguvu, sababu nimechoka
Sababu nimechoka, nimechoka
Sababu nimechoka, nimechoka
Nafungua roho yangu
Shida za maisha zimenilemea mimi
Ju siwezi peke yangu
Nakuhitaji wee, nakuhitaji we
Kama ungewapa binadamu kazi
Ya kuwastaki walokusaliti
Labda mimi ningekuwa nimeshikwa zamani
Ningekuwa Kamiti
Vita vyangu baba unipiganie
Mimi sina namna mimi sina njia
Ona moyo wangu unavyokulilia
Heee hee, hee hee
Vita vyangu baba unipiganie
Mimi sina namna mimi sina njia
Ona moyo wangu unavyokulilia
Heee hee, hee hee
baba nipe nguvu, sababu nimechoka
Nipe nguvu, sababu nimechoka
Sababu nimechoka, nimechoka
Sababu nimechoka, nimechoka
Eeh nipe nguvu nimechoka
Nimechoka kupita kwa barabara
Wakiniona wanacheka
Mi najua nimekosa
Lakini kama Nebuchadnezzar
Nipe hio nafasi tena
Hey nipe nguvu nimechoka
Nimechoka kupita kwa barabara
Wakiniona wanacheka
Mi najua nimekosa
Lakini kama Nebuchadnezzar
Nipe hio nafasi tena
Ni wewe nakuita maisha yangu yamenilemea
Ni wewe nakuita, aah
Ni wewe nakuita maisha yangu yamenilemea
Ni wewe nakuita, aah
Eee baba nipe nguvu, sababu nimechoka
Nipe nguvu, sababu nimechoka
Sababu nimechoka, nimechoka
Sababu nimechoka, nimechoka

Meaning & Inspiration
“Nimechoka” presents a prayer from someone exhausted by hardship, shame, and the consequences of failure. The repeated plea for strength gives the song a confessional shape: the speaker admits that life has become too heavy to carry alone and asks God to fight battles that seem impossible. References to an open heart and a soul crying out keep the focus on dependence rather than self-sufficiency.
The request for another chance, illustrated through Nebuchadnezzar, also introduces repentance and restoration. That biblical comparison may recall how the humbled king eventually acknowledged God’s rule. The song does not minimize weariness; it brings weariness directly into prayer. Its recurring appeal, “Baba nipe nguvu,” makes divine help the central hope, while the admission of wrongdoing prevents the plea from becoming a claim of innocence. Together, these elements portray faith as turning toward God when strength, reputation, and personal solutions have run out.
