Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[M] Nilivuka bahari
Nikiwa na jina lako
Moyo ulisema,
“Usisahau kwenu”
[F] I kept your rhythm
In the back of my tongue
Even far from home,
We still sing as one
[M] Kule kwa mama
Harufu ya pilau
Na sauti za jioni
Zinaniita bado
[F] Over the ocean
I wear our colors
Same old stories
On a different shore
[Pre-Chorus]
[M] Eeh, nipo mbali
Lakini damu ni hiyo
[F] Far from the map,
Close to the fire
[M] Ukinita,
Nitasikia
[F] Call my name
And I’m there
[Chorus]
[M] Hii ni damu yetu (our blood)
[F] This is our song (our song)
[M] Kule au hapa
[F] We still belong
[M] Hii ni damu yetu (our blood)
[F] Across the sea
[M] Culture in my chest
[F] You live in me
[Verse 2]
[F] I learned our dance
On a cracked-up floor
From my auntie’s hands
And the old front door
[M] Nilikua na ndoto
Za nyumba moja
Where the food is loud
And the love stays strong
[F] London rain, Nairobi heat
Same heartbeat under my feet
[M] New York nights, Mombasa breeze
Same old words in different streets
[Pre-Chorus]
[F] Eeh, nipo mbali
Lakini damu ni hiyo
[M] Far from the map,
Close to the fire
[F] Ukinita,
Nitasikia
[M] Call my name
And I’m there
[Chorus]
[M] Hii ni damu yetu (our blood)
[F] This is our song (our song)
[M] Kule au hapa
[F] We still belong
[M] Hii ni damu yetu (our blood)
[F] Across the sea
[M] Culture in my chest
[F] You live in me
[Bridge]
[M] When the winter gets heavy
I taste our home
[F] When the distance bites
I’m never alone
[M] Sema tena, sema tena
[F] Say it again, say it again
[M] Tuko pamoja
[F] Still together
[Chorus]
[M] Hii ni damu yetu (our blood)
[F] This is our song (our song)
[M] Kule au hapa
[F] We still belong
[M] Hii ni damu yetu (our blood)
[F] Across the sea
[M] Culture in my chest
[F] You live in me

Style
Soulful funk with delta blues grit and Motown bounce, locked to a skanking Caribbean pocket and a four-on-the-floor house lift; verse 1 rides dry guitar, walking bass, handclaps, and split vocal lines, pre-chorus strips to brushed kit and organ swell, chorus hits with stacked harmony, tambourine, and a bright horn stab. Two singers trade intimate lead and tight doubles, with call-and-response ad-libs, delay throws on key phrases, and a few filtered ear-candy rises into the chorus. Warm, punchy, and dancefloor-leaning with a dusty analog sheen., delta blues, motown, blues, funk, soul, chicago blues
