FreshBoys sing about his assault in Ununio and his inappropriate advances toward in-laws. The song describes how his drunkenness makes him pursue other men’s wives.
Oyaa DylerOyaa Dyler,
OllahOllah,
Wananiita MangiThey call me Mangi,
Na Siku HiziAnd these days.
Sieti AgainSieti again.
Anaitwa Kichwa Muhuni Wetu Wa TemekeHe’s called Kichwa, our neighborhood thug from Temeke,
Haogopi Shari Vita Wala MasekeHe’s not afraid of trouble, fights, or kicks.
Jana Tu Kampiga Mama Yake MatekeJust yesterday, he kicked his own mother.
Kariakoo Kamuibia Hela KiweteIn ‘Kariakoo’ market, he stole money from a disabled person,
Kavurugwa Anabishana Na RedioHe’s so messed up, he argues with the radio.
Kesi Ngumu Kam’baka Mtu UnunioIt’s a tough case, he a##aulted someone in Ununio,
Sa Ndio Nini Kumtongoza Hadi MkweoSo what’s this about hitting on your own in-law?
Ukilewa Unataka Wake Wa WenzioWhen you get drunk, you want other people’s wives.
Sio Bure UmerogwaIt’s not for nothing, you’ve been cursed.
Sio Bure UmerogwaIt’s not for nothing, you’ve been cursed.

Kariakoo Manzese WameshakuchokaIn Kariakoo and Manzese, they’re sick of you,
Ukielekezwa Unadai Washamba HawajatokaWhen you’re given directions, you claim they’re just clueless villagers.
Sio Bure Kaiba Keko Bwana Huyu Mtoto Wa KivuleNo wonder he stole from ‘Keko’ prison, this kid from Kivule.
Kama Noma Na Iwe Manyota Aende ShuleIf he wants trouble, let it come, the ‘big shot’ should go to school.
Kama Ukipita Mtaani Kwake Washa Fegi Uonekane Kama SelaaIf you pass through his neighborhood, light a cigarette to look like a guard,
Ficha Hiko Kibegi Maana Muhuni KitamkeraHide that little bag, because it’ll tempt the thug.
Akikuuliza Chewa SioIf he asks you something, just ignore him.
Sio SiooNo, no.
Pasopa SioDon’t even worry about it, no.
Fanya Kama Unapiga Sala Acha Ndala Chapa MbioPretend you’re praying, leave your sandals, and just run.

Sio Moshi Gambe Au SembeIt’s not smoke, local liquor, or ‘sembe’,
Labda Tuseme Vinampa WengeMaybe let’s just say they’re making him paranoid.
Bila Kikosi Bila Ya GengeWithout a crew, without a gang,
Singo Mtingo Anapita DengeHe’s walking solo, with a swagger.
Ana Balaa Huyoo Kama Mtoto IddyHe’s a menace, that one, like the infamous ‘Mtoto Iddy’.
Ana Vikosi Kila MtaaHe has squads on every street,
Kama Generali Wa MagwijiLike a general of the top dogs.
Mtaani Wanamuita ChaafuIn the neighborhood, they call him ‘Dirty’,
Namba ChaafuA dirty number.
Eyes On Paper Ficha Hizo PochiEyes on the money, hide those wallets.
Ukibisha Unakula KofiIf you argue, you’ll get a slap,
Ukibisha Unafuta GotiIf you argue, you’ll end up on your knees.
Tena Huku Mtaani Siku Hizi HaskikiAnd these days, he won’t listen to anyone in the neighborhood.
Mpaka Maskani Hwamtaki HapitiThey don’t even want him at his usual hangout spot, he can’t pass through.
Moko Namba Akitipa MtitiThe number one hustler, when he causes chaos,
Kiubishi Ubishi Njaa Za FisiWith the stubborn hunger of a hyena.
Kavurugwa Anabishana Na RedioHe’s so messed up, he argues with the radio.
