NTIRING’AYU (Calm down) by Yiampoi X Levon
VERSE ONE
FPS: Issuing commands Shomo siyie, tasieku, tasioki! Would you move! Come here! Act! Faster!
SS: Struggling to keep pace Kanyokita, meidimayu I'm trying, but it's too much.
FPS: Mebaiki ina…………. tasioki eniasita…………. (Hurry up there is no time for that!)
SS: Kanaura…………… kayieu nayeng’iyeng’a…………. (Am tired, I need solitude to recharge)
PRE-CHORUS
FPS: Sarisara ndipa, amu inakata ake iyeng’iyeng’a (Everything must be perfect! You can't rest until it's all done).
SS: Mmekure Aidim I can't keep up!
CHORUS
Ntiring’ayu (calm down), stay with me, mikintoki abuaaki (don't condemn) or gaslight my emotions
Ntiring’ayu (calm down), wait for me, let's be one, mairimari (every step we'll share)
Maata nabo, (Lets unite) anaure (I deserve a break from the constant chatter)
VERSE TWO
This inner critic, relentless companion, Whispers of mistakes, flaws in its canon.
Never lets me forget when I've been wrong, Echoes in my mind, a never-ending song.
Its words still persist, hammering, telling me how I’ve been, horrible
Can't escape, can't resist, discomfort from within.
Self-criticism, roots run deep, Unconscious beliefs, secrets to keep.
Strength, perfection, that's the ideal, Weakness, vulnerabilities, gotta conceal.
Till recently, didn't see the strife, caught in the cycle of negative self-talk, life.
Becoming aware, shedding the disguise, embracing the flaws, breaking the ties.
I can’t Keep Up (Beat drop) ……Mmekure Aidim Esomit (I’ve had enough of the torment)
