Hello, it’s me, the lost love
I’ve been spacey to the moon and back
I had to skyrocket to my lonely zone to restore myself
Hello babygirl, I missed you
No! No, no, no, grammar check! I miss you

Never had coke but your perfume scent is narcotic
Your hair, I like it when you braid it and let it flow over your shoulders in the glory of a princess that you are
But I like it more when you wear it in a crown of Afro on your head,
I’m not queening you ’cause I am not about to wish death on my mother.
You are a sight to behold
Kairetu ka mamii, muiritu wa mutumia, wi muthaka,
Nyar wuon, ijaber toto East to west,
Ma dame, vous êtes très belle de la tête aux pieds
Did I just use french? Okay, I’m in love so why not try it?

How have you been?
Have you been taking care of our dark melanin?
While I was away my heart grew fond of you,
I have a lot of stories to tell you
Of adventures I wish we could walk together
But I dare not weigh you with my path I choose,

Let your smile compete with the sun,
Who knows, you could land a job at the dental advertiser
A girl baby, of course bila chupa ya maziwa
I mean tayari uko na figure coca-cola naona nikikukunywa
When I came back from the moon, nilirudi na mistari za Telemundo na sauti ya Alejandro,
Speaking of lines, how do you wake up?
Na lines kwa uso, macho lazy, forehead umekunja na hasira lakini bado wewe ni mrembo.
Oh, and I bought a new grey t-shirt
Just for you, extra large for your cups to fit in
So when are you coming over to try it out?

Do people still buy flowers? Lol, What should I get you?

I know you’ve missed me,
And right now you’re mad that I’ve showed up.
You don’t wanna pick up the phone and you’re probably listening,
You’ve missed this call so the phone lady said to leave it at voicemail
Care to dial my number, I’ll be waiting.
