Verse 1
Hata kama vita nitapigana
Ila ushindi atanishindia
Yote si mapenzi yangu, bali ni mapenzi yake Mungu
Ukitamka laana, la baraka kanitamkia
Yote si mapenzi yangu, bali kwa mapenzi yake Mungu
Hook 1
Maana uhai wangu mie
Nimemkabidhi yeye
Ukitaka kunigusa mie
Unataka kumgusa yeye
Oh, ukinigusa kwa mema
Atakubariki, atakubariki
Ila ukitaka kwa mabaya
Usishiriki, maana sio rahisi
Hook 2
Maana vita yangu, eh
Si ya mwili bali ni ya rohoni
Tena sipigani mimi, eh
Anaye nipigania mwokozi
Hivyo
Chorus
Siwezi pigana nawe, nanyoosha mikono juu basi pigana na Mungu
Siwezi shindana nawe, nanyoosha mikono juu basi shindana na Mungu
Oh, shindana na Mungu (Shindana na Mungu)
Shindana na Mungu (Shindana na Mungu)
Basi pigana na Mungu (Pigana na Mungu)
Pigana na Mungu (Pigana na Mungu)
Oh
Shindana na Mungu (Shindana na Mungu)
Shindana na Mungu (Shindana na Mungu)
Basi pigana na Mungu (Pigana na Mungu)
Pigana na Mungu (Pigana na Mungu)

Verse 2
Ukipigana na mimi, nikuachie Mungu
Basi jua yako, 'imeenda
Ukiwahi pigana na mimi, nikuachie Mungu
Basi jua yako, 'imeenda
Anaye niita ni Mungu mwenyewe
Mbona nipigane vita?, ah
Aliye niita ni Mungu mwenyewe
Mbona nipigane vita?
Maana vita vyangu
Si vya mwili bali ni vya roho
And I don't fight for myself
Anaye nipigania mwokozi (Hivyo)
Ndio hivyo basi
Anaye pigana, sipigani nae
Namuachia Mungu apambane nae
Anaye shindana, sishindani nae
Namuachia Mungu apambane nae
Anaye ni winda, si windani nae
Namuachia Mungu apambane nae
Hey
Namuachia Mungu apambane nae
Hook 3
Maana vita yangu, eh

Meaning & Inspiration
Pigana Na Mungu is a Swahili song about letting God fight the battle. The refrain says that the singer will not fight or compete with an opponent, raises hands and tells the opponent to fight with God instead. The first verse says that if there is a fight, victory will come from Him, since everything is His will and not the singer's own.
The hooks say that the singer's life has been handed to Him, so touching the singer means touching Him, with a blessing for those who touch with good and a warning against those who come with harm. They add that the battle is not against flesh but is spiritual, and that the Savior fights for the singer. The second verse repeats the same trust. The themes follow Ephesians 6:12 on spiritual struggle, Exodus 14:14 on the Lord fighting for His people, and Zechariah 2:8 on touching the apple of His eye. The repeated chorus gives the song a bold, confident tone.
