lyrics

You say my name like rain on tin

Not how they call me in the room

Your tongue turns soft on every sin

At the boda stage by afternoon

In your blue shirt by the fruit stall line

You lean in close, let the last sound shine

My name stays there on your lip so fine

Then the whole block starts to unwind

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Only you make it glow

Only you make it glow

At 6:10, near the matatu door

You drop one letter, add two more

I hear it bounce on the shop front floor

And I keep coming back for more

In the red basin by the mango crate

You call me near, then you make me wait

Every syllable feels hand-rolled, late

Like wet fabric hung on the gate

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Only you make it glow

Only you make it glow

On Kenyatta Avenue, after rain

You say it once and I feel that strain

Like a fresh cup cooling in a train

I want your mouth to say it again

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Say my name slow

Only you make it glow

Only you make it glow
