lyrics
At the end of space
The beginning of time
Esika embandaka
Esika pe ekosuka
Bo koluka nzela ya bomengo
Kasi mosala bo kosalaka te
Basi baluka nzela ya libala
Kasi bolingo ba koyebaka te
Ba koloba makambo eleki eh
Boya makombo eyi minene
Run, run, run
Kima, Kima, Kima
Moninga soki olingi, kolemba te
Ya rien de pire que l'abandon
Soki pe ba pasi, kolela te
Ya rien de pire than giving up
Ata baboyi, ko lemba te
Ya rien de pire than giving up
Soki pe banguna baye, kokima te
Ya rien de pire than giving up
Mbala liboso mbala mibale mbala misato
Komita te
Run, run, run
Kima Kima Kima
I wake up with the plan, gripping bands, mind expand
Fly to foreign lands, getting cake with all my mans
What's the recipe, Chef a key, Mack a fee, Jackin’, trappin’ D
These facts are stated by the G, who made it gambling to believe my style is ice
Passion played precise, manage risk with rolling dice
Ideas pronounced, instincts flaunted
Cream separates clowns from who really on it
Slinging sonnets place you in the style gauntlet
Them setbacks reveal how bad you really want it
I'm there when the sparks fly
Riding golden dragons
Thinking lavish, steaming cabbage, dreaming savage
Never average, to the victor go the spoils
To the hustle loyal, if you want to kick it royal
Run, run, run
Kima Kima Kima
Run, run, run
Run
Lift yourself up
Give in to fate
See it through at any rate
Stay focused
Don’t procrastinate
Release, relax, elevate
Elevate
Don’t complicated
Embrace your fate
Refuse to turn away (x2)
Run
You got to go through to get to it
You can’t just show it
You must prove it
Born in Kinshasa and settled in Montréal since 2001, Pierre Kwenders learned music and found his voice in a catholic choir
in the city. With his two EPs and two full-length records, the singer-songwriter has earned multiple awards. Passionate about offering music without borders, he’s also one of the founders of Moonshine, a collective that throws some of the best parties around the world....more

I think its crazy how you can hear her smile or grin in some tracks. Also, just so well produces. Thanks for this beautiful piece of art. quintenzirkel

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
