Nyashinski - Finyo Lyrics

Finyo Lyrics

Hodi kwa mama mtoto mkorofi
acha nikuambie ka unataka kuona machozi
Ya mtoto mchokozi
Itabidi uongeze pilipili kwa biriani
Otherwise, ka si hivyo wanachama hatuliangi
Hatutuliangi
Na ndukulu ni bangi
Na ina harufu mbaya
Na inaudhi majirani
Lakini haidhuru ni sawa  
Acha wahamie mashinani
Ka inawadhuru vibaya


Yooo! Hey!
Zinatubastia ka bomb bomb kwa corner
Mi na squadi iko chrome
Na  macon men na wakora
Wana Diploma zakufungualisha Grogon  ma Corolla
The Boredom mnasorora  Vile hamna Talent
So mmegeuza game Sodom na Gomora

Vuta hiyo trouser juu wacha kutuonyesha tako
Vuta hiyo Mini Chini unamwaibisha mamako
Ka unatafuta ule anajua kupika
Uji Sio kupiga picha uchi
Unfollow Nyako follow nyanyako
Ukitaka nyama hapa sawa chief
Hii butchery tunaita
Usiwahi blunder na beef
na si huangalia ni ka skanga
Bonga shit unatandikwa ka  kitambaa,
bedcover ama handkerchief


[CHORUS]
If your God is money
Then you're poor  to me
I have a feeling
You are not who you pretend to be on IG
Kutoka nursery,
I have been a winner
Msiniweke gasoline
na bado hamjazima moto niliwasha '03

Na kam na (finyo)
Macho macho(finyo)
Ndivyo tuna (finyo)
Pasito na (finyo)
Mwendo tuna (finyo)
Mwenye tuna (finyo sana)

Be  ready for the world
Is it ready for you?
You waiting for your girl
Is she waiting for you?

Uliskia type yako hu like mabachelors
Sijui kama ni true
IG bae ni yule Carpenter
I feel ka ni true
Ah-ah  ni reasoning si umang'aa
Ujinga ndo si hukataa
Sacrifice ni kuifanya
For family sio chapaaa
Greatness ni kuamkia legacy sio chapaaa
Siwezi kuwa juu ya thao
Ka Kwangu thao sio chapaa

My apartment is in Amsterdam
Certified Rasta man
Aki sometime na hang
I feel like Am Sadam
I feel like am the best
Me kumake Man impress (Zii)
Kufake Hapiness (Zii)
Me ni m merciless
Am Ill,  na nitawatesa until
mkubali kesi, ka sitaku Impress na skill
Ni pamba freshi, Ukidai tuingie commercial still
Na kuwanga messy
Prepare kuingia kwa battle field na mwanajeshi
Hii ndo inaitwa One shot kill
Na feelingi fiti
Nikiwamada ki action film
Na Believe hii muziki itanibuyia mansion still
Na .....

 

[CHORUS]
If your God is money
Then you're poor  to me
I have a feeling
You are not who you pretend to be on IG
Kutoka nursery,
I have been a winner
Msiniweke gasoline
na bado hamjazima moto niliwasha '03

Na kam na (finyo)
Macho macho(finyo)
Ndivyo tuna (finyo)
Pasito na (finyo)
Mwendo tuna (finyo)
Mwenye tuna (finyo sana)

Mwanaume aseme hii shamba siwezi lima
Nakam na plough mbili
Hiyo ingine ni ya finyo pekee (hehe)
Niko na issue ikiwa juu yangu kama sio kofia
Kwa ma issue za vitabu za historia
Jina yangu watoi wako wataisoma pia
Ata ka utadedi ukisema hukuwahi niskia
Nishakuskia kila year ukilia
Utarun next year
Si this Year pia ilianza ukilia
"Walai this year!"
Next year nitakuhit niko high ju
Niko Hai this year
Sitakuwa Hai Next year ka
Nitakuwa High next year
Excuse, Excuse Me!
Please Sorry Thank you!
Mission Impossible!
Kifo ni ngori jo!
Na isikupate ukitry too hard to be perfect
Sometimes jipe ruhusa tu kuwa ratchet
Smile ka bado hujapita budget
Na ka umepita ficha shida chini ya carpet

Inapiga! Inapiga! Kushinda earthquake
Inapiga! Inapiga! Kushinda earthquake
Watu na race nao wameshindwa kushusha handbrake
Uhunye na Rao wamepiga Handshake!

 


Finyo

Finyo Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Nyashinski's song "Finyo," released with its video on November 29, 2018, serves as a potent blend of social commentary, personal assertion, and artistic confidence. The track sees the acclaimed Kenyan artist addressing various facets of contemporary life, particularly the superficiality often amplified by social media, while simultaneously reaffirming his own standing and principles in the music industry. It is a lyrical exercise demonstrating sharp wit, cultural references, and an unwavering sense of self.

The song opens with a direct address, seemingly to a "mama mtoto mkorofi" (mother of a troublesome child), quickly pivoting to a metaphor about adding chili to biryani for a desired outcome, implying that discomfort or difficulty is necessary for genuine impact or for the 'group' (wanachama) to be satisfied. He contrasts the struggles and nuisances of his lifestyle or perspective ("ndukulu ni bangi," "ina harufu mbaya," bothering neighbors) with the option for others to simply remove themselves from the situation if it's too much, suggesting a disregard for external validation or approval from those who don't understand or appreciate his path.

Nyashinski then turns his gaze towards the state of the industry and society, critiquing the lack of genuine talent and hard work, suggesting many resort to creating chaos or superficial drama ("geuza game Sodom na Gomora") due to boredom and absence of skill. He delivers pointed advice on modesty and substance, urging young people to prioritize meaningful skills ("jua kupika Uji Sio kupiga picha uchi") and real-world connections ("Unfollow Nyako follow nyanyako") over shallow online trends and revealing imagery. This highlights a generational divide and a call back to traditional values of respect and substance. His declaration that his "butchery" offers "nyama" (meat, implying substance or real content) serves as a warning against trivial conflict ("beef"), asserting that those who engage in baseless criticism will be easily dismissed or handled ("unatandikwa ka kitambaa, bedcover ama handkerchief").

The chorus acts as the central thesis, powerfully stating, "If your God is money / Then you're poor to me." This line encapsulates the song's core message against materialism and superficial wealth, prioritizing intrinsic value and genuine achievement. He expresses a skepticism towards people's online personas ("not who you pretend to be on IG") and firmly establishes his long-standing success and resilience, referencing his career since 2003 and defying attempts to extinguish his impact ("Msiniweke gasoline / na bado hamjazima moto niliwasha '03"). The repeated phrase "Na kam na (finyo)" or similar variations woven throughout the chorus and bridge adds an intriguing layer, suggesting a specific style of movement, precision, focus, or intensity ("Macho macho finyo," "Mwendo tuna finyo," "Mwenye tuna finyo sana"). While open to interpretation, "finyo" could imply a controlled, deliberate, perhaps tight or difficult, but ultimately effective, approach to navigating life and the industry.

The bridge poses introspective questions about readiness for the world and reciprocity in relationships ("Is it ready for you?," "Is she waiting for you?"), before returning to social commentary. Nyashinski dismisses superficial attractions ("IG bae ni yule Carpenter"), advocating for reasoning and substance over shallowness ("Ah-ah ni reasoning si umang'aa / Ujinga ndo si hukataa"). He defines true sacrifice as being for family, not fleeting fame ("chapaaa"), and greatness as building a legacy. His bold statements about his status ("My apartment is in Amsterdam," "Certified Rasta man," "Am Sadam" metaphorically referencing a position of power/control, "I feel like am the best") are not mere boasts but reinforce his confidence and detachment from seeking external validation, especially from men ("Me kumake Man impress Zii"). He asserts his authenticity ("Kufake Hapiness Zii"), intensity ("merciless," "Ill," "nitawatesa"), and skill, positioning himself as a formidable opponent ready for any challenge ("battle field na mwanajeshi," "One shot kill").

Towards the end, the song touches upon themes of mortality ("Kifo ni ngori jo!") and the importance of embracing imperfection ("jitope ruhusa tu kuwa ratchet"), smiling despite financial struggles ("Smile ka bado hujapita budget"), and handling problems discreetly if necessary ("ficha shida chini ya carpet"). The closing lines, mentioning a powerful, earth-shaking impact ("Inapiga! Inapiga! Kushinda earthquake!") and referencing a significant political handshake ("Uhunye na Rao wamepiga Handshake!"), ground the song in a specific time and place while emphasizing its impactful arrival on the scene. Overall, "Finyo" is a declaration of independence from superficial trends, a critique of societal values skewed towards materialism, and a powerful statement of Nyashinski's enduring skill, authenticity, and commitment to substance and legacy over fleeting fame and wealth. It inspires listeners to look beyond appearances, value genuine connections and hard work, and remain true to themselves despite external pressures.
