Songtext Hatari Tune-Yards

Hatari

Get on a plane (How did you get here?)
Packed a bag (How did you get here?)
Dream like a zebra (How did you get here?)
Heat like a fever (How did you get here?)

Mimi naweza (x3)
Sijui, sijui oh
(x2)

Mimi ni mchizi, kama ndizi
Wewe ni mbaya, kama nfiya
Wake up at midnight, under the starlight
Hack out my heart & use it to make the sun rise

Mimi naweza (x3)
Sijui, sijui oh (x3)

You thought that I would stand up and sit this one out
You thought that I would wear it like a blistering shroud
You thought that it would fit but then the fit wore out
And the whalebone was so tight that it made me scream and shout

But did you listen, listen?
Did you listen, listen?

Got on a plane (How did you get here?)
Hack off a leg (How did you get here?)
Left off my finger at the jewelry shop
Hatari hatari danger at the spot, jam hop

Mimi naweza (x3)
Sijui, sijui oh
Naweza

You thought that I would stand up and sit this one out
You thought that I would wear it like a blistering shroud
You thought that it would fit but then the fit wore out
And the whalebone was so tight that it made me scream and shout

But did you listen, listen?
Did you listen, listen?
Did you listen, listen?
Did you listen, listen?

There is a natural sound that wild things make when they're bound
It rumbles in the ground, gurrah gurrah we all fall down
But when you hear the sound, ten thousand voices lost and found
Your rumble in the ground, gurrah, gurrah we all fall down
