[Verse 1 (Enygma)]
My teacher used to
Beat me with sticks, whenever I freestyled/
Looking like a fish, from Jinja, in denial/
Being challenged cos my talent was never respected/
Is it right, I have to fight, just to be accepted?/
Didn’t expect it except it filled, my heart with pain/
I just wanna build, I am a Uganda crane/
Constructing bars, so many storeys (stories) to be told/
Like Maurice, I had to show courage and be bold (bald)/
Don’t wanna fight, I wanna write, about my rights/
And all the wrongs, what have we left? It isn’t right/
People put in hearses – and Mulago has long queues/
Those are sick lines – they are like my verses/
There are no more nurses, children are defenceless/
Adults wanna fight, people out there pretty senseless/
So I return, to inner sense (innocence), like Maurice Kirya/
Let me chill, for a bit and let the chorus kill ya.
[Chorus (Maurice)]
I’m singing for you today, so I could return to innocence
Onobakub’emiigo, oling’ekyenyanja… I don’t wanna fight, I just wanna sing
Onobakub’emiigo, oling’ekyenyanja… I don’t wanna fight, I just wanna sing
[Verse 2 (Enygma)]
Don’t wanna fight, like Mayweather and Pacquiao/
But if you bring the drama, I’ll never be backing out/
If I got pushed – by the ex-American president/
Punch him in the face cos I never beat around the Bush!/
I don’t wanna fight but I don’t fear your rivalries/
You want a life with beefs and I just want my rice and peas (peace)/
There’s little joy – in being a man, by being mean/
I swear that life was only simple as a little boy!
[Hook]
I was a little boy with many dreams in head
I didn’t know my name, just the guitar in my hand
I wanted to move the world, I wanted to inspire the world
I wanted to be Superman yeah…
(Chorus)
[Verse 3]
Now music is not what I wear, music is not the style of my hair
Music is not who I date, music is not whether up early or late
Music is not fancy cars, bikinis, drack 6 violins and money
Music is a pastor a teacher a mother a healer a mentor a preacher!
(Hook)
(Chorus)
Onobakub’emiigo, oling’ekyenyanja… I don’t wanna fight, I just wanna sing
Onobakub’emiigo, oling’ekyenyanja… I don’t wanna fight, I just wanna sing
