PESA ZIPO BANK SONG (LYRICS)

PESA ZIPO BANK

Yeah yeah...

MADE BY SALEHE

Aah...
Pesa zipo bank...
Lakini moyo wangu uko kwako...
Yeah...
Tunasonga mbele...

Nilipokuwa chini hukuniangalia,
Leo nimefika juu unanipigia simu,
Jana nilikuwa naota maisha,
Leo ndoto zangu naziona kwenye simu.

Sina haja ya kujionyesha mtaani,
Maana account yangu inajua siri,
Wanasema nimebadilika ghafla,
Hawajui nilivyopambana kimya kimya.

Nilikula vumbi, nikapanda hatua,
Nilijifunza maisha hayana huruma,
Leo nikifungua app naangalia balance,
Nasema Mungu wangu, kweli umenifikisha.

Usipime mtu kwa nguo anazovaa,
Usipime moyo kwa maneno anayosema,
Maisha yangu sasa nimeyapanga,
Sina pressure, sina cha kulalamika.

Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Usinione kimya ukadhani sina kitu,
Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Moyo wangu kwako, hiyo ndiyo mali yangu.

Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Leo tunacheka tulivyolia jana,
Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Mungu ametubariki, tunasonga mbele.

Zipo bank...
Zipo bank...
Pesa zipo bank...
Tunasonga mbele...

Baby njoo karibu, usiwe na hofu,
Kesho yetu nimeiweka kwenye ramani,
Sihitaji watu wajue mipango,
Maana mafanikio hayahitaji matangazo.

Nilijua siku moja itafika,
Waliocheka wataniona nikitabasamu,
Sio kwa majivuno, ni kwa ushindi,
Tulipitia mengi, lakini tumesimama.

Mama niliahidi nitabadilika,
Nitafanya familia yangu ijivunie,
Leo nikituma pesa nyumbani,
Namuona mama akisema, Mungu akubariki mwanangu.

Usipime mtu kwa gari analoendesha,
Usipime mtu kwa simu anayoshika,
Kuna watu wana pesa kimya kimya,
Na kuna wana kelele mfukoni hakuna.

Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Usinione kimya ukadhani sina kitu,
Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Moyo wangu kwako, hiyo ndiyo mali yangu.

Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Leo tunacheka tulivyolia jana,
Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Mungu ametubariki, tunasonga mbele.

Oh baby...
Sio pesa pekee ninazotafuta,
Nataka amani, nataka furaha,
Nataka wewe ubaki upande wangu,
Hata balance ikishuka, usiondoke.

Leo milioni, kesho bilioni,
Lakini mapenzi yetu ndiyo investment,
Tukiwa wawili hakuna kinachoshindikana,
Tunaenda juu...
Juu...
Juu...

"Yeah..."
"Aah..."
"Pesa zipo bank..."

 Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Mambo yamebadilika, Mungu ametenda,
Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Tulianza chini, sasa tunaonekana.

Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Usihofu baby, maisha yamebadilika,
Pesa zipo bank, pesa zipo bank,
Lakini moyo wangu bado uko kwako.

Pesa zipo bank!
(Zipo bank!)

Pesa zipo bank!
(Zipo bank!)

Mungu ametubariki!
(Tunasonga mbele!)

Pesa zipo bank!
Yeah yeah...

Pesa zipo bank...
Lakini upendo upo moyoni...
Tulianza chini...
