Aaaahh the familiar sounds of a man
Calling out from a van with blue and white stripes
I come from a city where sounds like these guide our strides
Sounds like, Boss Boss ogenda
Wandegeya Lugogo Nakawa Ntinda
Wandegeya Lugogo Nakawa Ntinda
Mzee sister okoma wa
Lugogo Nakawa kireka Banda
Lugogo Na
It starts to sound like music to my ears

I come from a city of motorbikes ezo boda boda
Taxis ezo kamunye
If you run a blood test you will find all these in my DNA
I come from KLA

Where we eat life with a big spoon
We don't just check the time we eat the watch too
Seriously though see time is money
Now with our Rolex we kill two birds with on stone
In one of our greatest modern day milestones
I come from a city with a variety of the best foods
A city where we are so passionate about our street foods
Imagine, a city where Arnold Schwarzenegger is the inspiration
The names for one of your street foods
Pretty cool right

I come from a city of all foods and  all sauce
Two by twos with the vegetables all raw
A city of tompa mere nga tekuli matooke
If you run a blood test you'll find that I am healthy and okay
I come from KLA and I spell it with a capital K

I come from the same city as the BET Award winning Eddy Kenzo
A city where Bobi Wine and French Montana are just examples
Of the unforgettable potential of the ghetto kids
I come from a city that doesn't sleep
Because we're still either chasing dreams or celebrating wins
Or just cooling off from all these crazy dreams
I come from a city where we always find time to have a good time
Because it boosts our mental
Now that's where our music is instrumental
I come from the city of Afro beat hip hop raggae ragga dee kadongo kamu
If you run a blood test, guno omuziki gwona ojja gunsangamu
I come from KLA wano wakati mu U

I come from the city of Queens
And I'm not even talking about the USA
I'm talking about the beautiful Ugandan women that I see all day
Tall, short small thick dark brown bleached
The streets are like a buffet
Abamu basalawo kuliisa maaso bakute
I come from the city of powerful women
Women who don't just wait to depend on we the men
I come from the city of Faridah Nakazibwe
Shamim Malende Miria Matembe Maggie Kigozi
The unforgettable Jennnifer Musisi
The Royal Nabagereka
A city where women who work so hard just to obtain a full figure

If you run a blood test you'll find black yellow red in their veins and arteries
I come from KLA and the L is for the Ladies

I come from a city where we hustle to make life better
Where every single day we get up and go Flex D'Paper
Where we sweat under the sun to make just enough to change the weather
Now sometimes we don't but still we never say never
They say there is no place like home
Well I've been all around the world and this is the one place that brings me joy

I AM THE KAMPALA BOY
