Intro
(Ad-lib call) Jun_e! Yewe! Ni wowe, ni wowe!
[Production note: Afrobeat percussion, warm bass, call-and-response ad-libs in Kinyarwanda, light melodic English tag]
Refrain
Jun_e on mic, nta n’umwe umurenze mu gace,
Up in the music, ndi top, ndi front ku stage.
Big sound iravuga, whole hood irabyina,
Every beat ndawica, every time ndatsinda.
From nothing to something, ndazamutse slow,
Now they see the glow, Jun_e steady grow.
No fake vibe, real talk every day,
Jun_e on fire, can’t fade away.
(Ad-libs after hook: "Top boy!" — "Ni Jun_e!" — short call-response)
Verse 1
Naje mu game nkiri muto mfite inzozi nini,
Ntaho nari mfite ariko umutima wari full.
Studio nijoro, amarira mu maso,
Pain nayihinduye power, none ndi boss.
Benshi baraseka bavuga ngo sinzabigeraho,
Ariko njye narakomeje, sinigeze nsiba.
From low low life to high high dreams,
Every loss yabaye lesson, now I win.
Ntibabona urugendo, babona gusa result,
Jun_e sound heavy, every line adult.
No shortcut, ntacyo nanyuzeho mpumbya,
Step by step ndazamuka, sinshaka kwihuta.
Now my name iravugwa mu mihanda,
Jun_e in the game, ndimo kwandika amateka.
Refrain
Jun_e on mic, nta n’umwe umurenze mu gace,
Up in the music, ndi top, ndi front ku stage.
Big sound iravuga, whole hood irabyina,
Every beat ndawica, every time ndatsinda.
From nothing to something, ndazamutse slow,
Now they see the glow, Jun_e steady grow.
No fake vibe, real talk every day,
Jun_e on fire, can’t fade away.
(Ad-libs: "Ni number one!" — short melodic tag: "Top boy")
Verse 2
Bavuga ngo byoroshye, ntibazi ibanga,
Nijoro nkiri wake, nshaka uburyo nzamuka.
Microphone inshuti, beat niyo brother,
Every track ndawushyiramo umutima wose.
Waraboyi English, short but deep,
Little words, big meaning, make them think.
Nari munsi y’ikirenge, none ndi hejuru,
Jun_e ndacyaza, sinzajya nsubira inyuma.
Ntituri bamwe, njye ndi built different,
Real from the start, ntabwo ndi moment.
If they doubt me now, bazanyibuka ejo,
Jun_e ntabwo apfa, ahubwo arakura.
Refrain
Jun_e on mic, nta n’umwe umurenze mu gace,
Up in the music, ndi top, ndi front ku stage.
Big sound iravuga, whole hood irabyina,
Every beat ndawica, every time ndatsinda.
From nothing to something, ndazamutse slow,
Now they see the glow, Jun_e steady grow.
No fake vibe, real talk every day,
Jun_e on fire, can’t fade away.
Bridge
(Lead) Ni wowe, ni wowe — hamwe na beat ikomeye,
(Background call) Jun_e! Jun_e!
(Lead) Ibyo nakoze ni ibimenyetso, city izandika izina,
(Short English tag) Number one — hear the anthem when I rhyme.
(Background) Tuzaririmba, tuzabyina, tuzashyiraho amateka.
[Production cue: switch to sparser percussion, melodic synth lift, call-and-response echo on "Jun_e"]
Refrain (final — layered)
Jun_e on mic, nta n’umwe umurenze mu gace,
Up in the music, ndi top, ndi front ku stage.
Big sound iravuga, whole hood irabyina,
Every beat ndawica, every time ndatsinda.
From nothing to something, ndazamutse slow,
Now they see the glow, Jun_e steady grow.
