[Intro]
I know some of you guys will be surprised,but its me Muhidin again
[Verse 1]
Late night, city light through half-closed blinds,
Your laughter in a Polaroid, tucked behind my mind.
The coffee cooled beside the sheet where you once lay,
Your perfume on the pillow like a map that lost its way.
I trace the rim of memory where your fingertips used to rest,
Count the quiet seconds where your heartbeat felt my best.
[Pre-Chorus / Call & Response — tight stacked harmonies]
If you’re done with your ex, move into the next
If you’re done with your ex, move into the next
If you’re done with your ex, move into the next
(voices fold, harmonies climb — echo each repeat)
[Chorus]
All I want is extra money
No extra stress, no extra worries
All I want is extra money
No extra stress, no extra worries
Give me peace in the pockets, give me space in my head,
Love that's honest at my table and a roof above my bed.
[Verse 2 — Kiswahili]
Kama umemaliza na mpenzi wako, enda kwa mwingine
Kama umemaliza na mpenzi wako, enda kwa mwingine
Kama umemaliza na mpenzi wako, enda kwa mwingine
(Kumbuka: sauti za pili zimejumuika kwa uzuri)
Naona mwanga wa alfajiri ukimia dirishani,
Picha zako ziko kwenye moyo, bado zinang'aa mezani.
Siwezi kukimbia hisia, lakini nataka amani,
Pesa za ziada, furaha rahisi, na usingizi wa dhati.
[Bridge]
Remember the night on Riverside, you peeled off your shoes,
We walked barefoot on promises, whispered little truths.
Now the echo of your steps is a hollow kind of sound,
I'm learning how to love myself on unfamiliar ground.
(soft falsetto over a single piano line, then a rising string pad)
[Build — return to English hook, layered harmonies]
If you’re done with your ex, move into the next
If you’re done with your ex, move into the next
If you’re done with your ex, move into the next
(voices stack, then drop to a single warm alto)
[Chorus — emotional payoff]
All I want is extra money
No extra stress, no extra worries
All I want is extra money
No extra stress, no extra worries
Let the nights be calm, let the mornings be kind,
No baggage in the corner, no ghosts left behind.
[Bridge 2 — intimate, spoken-sung over minimal keys]
I kept your hooded sweater, the one with the frayed seam,
Played our inside jokes like records in a dream.
But dreams fade when the daylight shows what silence hides,
I needed your voice to tell me if love survived.
[Cleopatra Outro — direct address]
Cleopatra, why you stayed silent all this time?
Cleopatra, why you stayed silent all this time?
Your quiet left a canyon where I shouted for an answer,
Silence felt like absence — like I wasn't part of your chapter.
[Final Tag — tender repetition, stripped back]
All I want is extra money
No extra stress, no extra worries
If you’re done with your ex, move into the next (soft, three-part harmony)
Cleopatra, why you stayed silent all this time?
[End]
