lirik lagu don santo - london letters
dear london…
your rain couldn’t wash away who i am
your trains couldn’t move me from my purpose
so here’s a letter…
stamped with truth
signed by a don
london fog on my coat, still i shine like nairobi sun
stepped in the cold but the fire begun —
black boy, gold mind, straight from the slums
but i speak like i borrowed this tongue from the drums
big ben ticking, my future ain’t stalling
camden streets, where the ghosts be calling
i’m not lost, i’m learning the map
writing my letters with verses that slap
and though the rain may fall
we rise above it all…
lettеrs through the struggle
stamped in lovе and soul
these are my london letters
written in grime and hope
on pages of pain and pressure
still i dream, still i cope
from east end to kilimani
my words won’t fold or fade —
i’m the voice of both cities
where culture and class cascade
mtaa kwa mtaa, streets za brixton
but bado nimebeba heat ya kibra
tea na toast kwa breakfast —
but kwa heart kuna ugali ya nyumbani fasta
they want accent, i give essence
they want vibe, i give presence
nairobi boy, born for pressure
every lyric — a signed letter
some write poems in books
i write mine on ticket stubs
on bus stops, on pub stools…
on beats
my voice is proof we’re here
and still rising
these are my london letters
more fire than rain can drown
ink of a klassikan poet
writin’ truth through every town
i carry home in my echo
i sing in kalpop’s key —
this is the sound of the future
signed
don santo, m.c
london… i wrote back
