SPEAK ONCE, LISTEN TWICE Lyrics – OYAMA GUMBI

SPEAK ONCE, LISTEN TWICE Lyrics by OYAMA GUMBI

You gotta listen like God spoke
I’m talking to ‘em like it’s gospel
It’s in like nje nge mbambo
Weather storms but what do I know?

Got an army like El Chapo
My racks gon’ stack up like Mutambo
In the fast lane like Hussain Bolt
Can’t program me, I’m not for download

Got thick skin, you won’t reach my bones
Leon Schusting, you a joke
Won’t spend my whole damn life being broke
I’m over those and over dosing

f#ck them Z’s and over dozing
Gave myself a damn promotion
CEO, I’ll see you later
Write my goals on sticky paper

My sisters graduated, I’m so grateful and so thankful
Showing power in the struggle
Somе have kids, carrying burdens
Nevеr gave up, persevered not passively

Focus on what on matters on b
They got degrees not just for them but families
Doors unlocked through sacrifice
Family trees now gon’ be ripe

Don’t be suffice though
Get that sh#t and be fiesty
Your blackness just be running
Through streams & beams we shining

Everything just aligning
Pressure me, I’m a diamond
Limitations, we climb ‘em
Slice ‘em, tell em nicely “f#ck off!”

Leave ‘em at the next drop off
Ain no room for those who turn off our fires
More fuel to get higher
Not gas though, not gassing

I’m blasting myself
You ain really wanna help
Studied my lessons
Ain’t no stressing, just be chasing higher versions

Higher purpose purposely
Perks of isolation demonstrated
Woke up at 4 and meditated
I’m not mind, I’m not body

But I body beats and leave them bruised
Karate kick like I’m Bruce (Kiya!)
Came a long way, sundibuza imvelaphi (Yeyaphi le majita? Hai andiyazi)
Ayo’luck, I worked hard, I got smarter

I got harder even when the road seemed to get longer and progress wasn’t coming any faster
My patience wasn’t tampered with at least visibly
Keep your poise, don’t make a noise (Uh uh! Shhh! Shh!)
When you coming, let em see you already running

I bet that sh#t gon mess with their tummies
Show ‘em how you flip nil to something
They can’t skip you, they not bunnies
And let them flee away if they bugging

You gotta listen like God spoke
I’m talking to ‘em like it’s gospel
It’s in like nje nge mbambo
Weather storms but what do I know?

Got an army like El Chapo
My racks gon’ stack up like Mutambo
In the fast lane like Hussain Bolt
Can’t program me, I’m not for download

Got thick skin, you won’t reach my bones
Leon Schusting, you a joke
Won’t spend my whole damn life being broke
I’m over those and over dozing

f#ck them Z’s and over dozing
Gave myself a damn promotion
CEO, I’ll see you later
Write my goals on sticky paper
