[INTRO] Yeah yeah Arch Nemesis Walkin around the streets of KLA Bringing you mad stories (Mad stories) Yeah, aah Yeah [VERSE 1] It was a Friday night, and Kampala was bright I was walking down a road to get a taxi There's was jam everywhere, I decided to walk Had a backpack on ma back I held so tight As possessions in Kampala can easily take flight Kino kibuga kya babuffu, gwe buza Babaluku There's a thug that's snatching, another who's watching Yo new to the streets, yo the bird of prey Better keep the phone away like tooth decay O some thugged-out kids might hit yo way And so how I lost mine? there was no delay Swallowing I-M pills like vitamin K Messaging overload as I hit the road A young boy came along, in the area code I could not see the face till he walked up close He was wearing a hood and feigning the manhood Looked up at me, and then started pointing at me There were three others like him standing around Each of them wearing a cross like vicars of Christ They were so fast, soon they had vanished from sight Left me without a phone, and the wallet was gone By the time I had to fight, I was standing alone Four kids had just stolen ma cellular phone And all the money had gone, including a loan I could not get a taxi, I had to walk home Was approaching midnight when I hit the town Truth be told, I was freezing n' feeling dizzy Wanted to sit down and catch some warm breeze There were others like me, just hangin' around Them ladies of the night, were b**hin around Pickin' the rounds, as men were drinkin around I looked around, and then I went digging around [HOOK] On a fateful night, a hateful night I was walking around not thinking right In Kampala at night, I caught a blight Then thugs taught me how to see the true light On a fateful night, a hateful night I was walking around not thinking right In Kampala at night, I caught a blight Then thugs taught me how to see the true light [VERSE 2] As I walked about this place, I saw this face A very dark girl wearing a yellowish dress Standing near the entrance of a lodging place A seductress with the glamour of an actress I could not resist what she was trying to express So I walked up to her, really wanting her All ma senses really damn hypnotized Such a creature of the night I'd never witnessed She a**ured me we could only talk inside She was my guide to where it is that she implied I replied, "The money's where I reside Should I come in, or should I just step aside?" She looked at me, and then she said that I lied I told her I'd lost money and all the pride I was freezing from walking late into the night I would pay her twice if she'd take me back at home She told me she had a friend, she could recommend She'd made enough money, so she could lend But she'd have to move with us all to the end Then I had no choice but to let her call the friend And so we drove from the place in a taxi We were seated in the back, all three of us Told me she was Ray and her friend was Jane And I told em, ma real name was Nemesis We was kissing n' hugging, touchin n' rubbin Getting so hot for 2 O'clock Psychedelics, Ray had brought with her And so we didn't even know where we was goin' The car just kept going, and us glowing Until we lost the pace, with a sudden brake There was shooting and screaming all over the place Before we knew they were thieves, Ray had lost her face [HOOK] On a fateful night, a hateful night I was walking around not thinking right In Kampala at night, I caught a blight Then thugs taught me how to see the true light On a fateful night, a hateful night I was walking around not thinking right In Kampala at night, I caught a blight Then thugs taught me how to see the true light [OUTRO] Yeah yeah You need to be careful As you walk around Kampala at night; Them thugs be waitin' out for you Lookin out for you They tryna snatch you
