(Intro)
Dako ra pedzi, handipedze — ndinopedza marwadzo nemazwi
(Mvura yemazwi, ndinotaurira marwadzo, ndichiverenga chinyorwa)
(Ad-lib: "eh...")
(Verse 1)
Ndakabva mumigwagwa, paimba duku, paimba yedombo
Zviroto zvakadzvanywa, asi moyo wangu wakasimba somuti
Amai vakati: "Simuka mwanangu, usavhunduka nechando"
Baba vakandipa bhutsu, ndakafamba nhema ndichiona chiedza
(Pause) Ndiri kupenya nepfungwa, handisi kungopfeka bhegi
Pedzi raPedzi — ndine dako rangu, handipedzi, ndinopedza rima
Ndinoimba nezvandakapfuura, ndinodzosera hope mhuri yangu
Ndinoverenga nzira dzemigwagwa, ndinotema mazwi kuti abate mwoyo
(Ad-lib: "ndinopfura...")
(Pre-Chorus)
Ndakachema pasi, ndakaseka mumvura yematambudziko
Asi mweya wangu wakasimuka — zviroto hazviperi pano
(Momentary pause, breathe)
Ndinoona zuva richibuda, ruoko rwevanhu ruine simba
(Chorus)
Dako ra pedzi — tinomuka, hatipedzi (x2)
Dako ra pedzi — mweya unomuka, haupereri (x2)
(Ad-lib response: "hatipedzi... hatipedzi")
(Verse 2)
Ndinoverenga mamiriro: migwagwa, dzimba, makona ane mbiri
Pane tsoka dzakatsvedza, asi rimwe zuva tichasimuka pamwe
Tiri vana vemumusha, tichikanda matombo ekuvhunduka
Mazwi angu anotema sepfuti, asi ane rudo rekuponesa
Pedzi/pedza — shoko rinotenderera, dzokerai madenga, ndapedza kutya
Ndinoridza mafaera emoyo, ndiri mukoma, ndiri mudiki panguva imwe
Ndinovaka dako, kwete chete mari — asi hwaro hwekuvimbika
Chiedza chinopinda mumbiri, mando aamai, ruoko rwababa
(Ad-lib: "aha, aha")
(Pre-Chorus - variation)
Handichadzorera muromo mukati, ndinotaura chokwadi
Zviitiko zvinonaka kana zvinorwadza — ndinovaburitsa mundima
(Pause) Rwendo rweupenyu haruna nzira yakapusa, asi tine chinangwa
Zvitsva zvinouya, tinobata, tinodzidza — takasimba, takabatana
(Chorus)
Dako ra pedzi — tinomuka, hatipedzi (x2)
Dako ra pedzi — mweya unomuka, haupereri (x2)
(Ad-lib: "mweya unomuka...")
(Bridge)
(Spoken-rap, soft)
Usiku ndinonyora nhoroondo — ndinotora tsika, ndinopfeka ndangariro
Ndiri murwiri wemanyepo, asi ndinomuudza chokwadi chese
Mumhanzi uyu une simba — unoporesa, unovaka, unoburitsa
(Pause, then build)
Tinenge tichiita kuti vana vaone ramangwana risina nzara
Tichivaka imba, tichikanda magiraidhi — hupenyu hunochinja
(Ad-lib layered: "tinovaka... tinochinja...")
(Verse 3 - Wordplay heavy)
Dako raPedzi, denga radoka, asi pandinodhonza mazwi ndinenge ndichipenya
Pedza marwadzo, pedza ushingi — pedza nguva isina rudo
Pedzi/pedza — kudzosera chikafu, kudzosa rufaro kumba
Ndarova mapfumo emadinza, ndichipfura zviroto zvakadzikama
Handipedze — ndinopedza zvipingamupinyi, ndinopedza kuchema kwega
Ndakapfeka tariro, ndakagadzira nzira — ndapedza kushaikwa kwemweya
(Ad-lib: "haa... ndapedza...")
(Chorus - Final, with call & response)
Dako ra pedzi — tinomuka, hatipedzi (Lead)
Dako ra pedzi — (Response: "hatipedzi")
Dako ra pedzi — mweya unomuka, haupereri (Lead)
Dako ra pedzi — (Response: "haupereri")
(Repeat quietly then build)
(Outro)
Tiri vana vezuva, tichipenya, tichifambisa mazwi (pause)
