kafini Meaning & Lyrics (Elgrandetoto | Tif)
The lyrics tell a story of resilience, as TIF raps about moving ‘two or three kilos’ and the risks of losing oneself in the process. A standout line, ‘The visa, the hustle, and my languages saved us, without rap we’d be completely lost,’ highlights how music became their escape from hardship. ElGrandeToto adds depth with reflections on fame and the cost of success.
