Nikita Kering’ – Let You Down feat. Kemena Lyrics
Purple silhouettes so I know you can’t see me
How long before I’m wishing like a genie
What’s the reasonable reason for your hiding
Si Last night I heard you calling on your mama, oh mwana
I cannot even vouch for you
I cannot call on you
So if I don’t love you na taboo
If you don’t love me too
So I erase my matching tattoo
Cause I put it on for you
If you ever start to really win
If you ever find your queen
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Man I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Wi, Have you never, oh no
Have you never focus on another
Have you never hocus pocus a brother
Have you ever noticed my hangover
You be driving me loco
Reason why I be leaving you pronto
You were the one that was supposed to carry me go
But when I’m on the road baby you the “go-slow”
That’s why I cannot even vouch for you
I cannot call on you
And if I don’t love you na taboo
When you don’t love me too
Now I erase my matching tattoo
Cause I put it on for you
If you ever start to really win
If you ever find a king
I hope he lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Man I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Kwani how many times
Am I losing our fight
I’ve been ready to die falling into Yah
Na wengine hawataki kunielimisha
Wanaona fala who’s into you
So now when you’re gone and you’re noticing
There was a diamond you didn’t see
I’ve been shining my way out of your darkness
That’s why I cannot even vouch for you
I cannot call on you
So if I don’t love you na taboo
If you don’t love me too
So I erase my matching tattoo
Cause I put it on for you
If you ever start to really win
If you ever find your queen
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
Man I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
I hope she lets you down, down, down, down, down, down
down, down, down
Have you ever, have you ever focused on another
Have you ever focused on another
