Here are the lyrics with the translated version of the Swahili parts right below.

Heshima ni kitu muhimu msee

Kuchanganya akili za Watoto na pesa ujinga mzee

Kila mtu ameumbwa kuishi vyema kufuaulu aisee

Tunakuza kizazi, unawatega na viazi

Bado hawana mizizi, unawafanya wazazi

Unabeba uchizi, tutakuliza machozi

Ukitaka kufanya tizi, wachana rika hizi

You’re messing up with a brighter future,

Shaping failures, grooming haters

Drowning dreamers, killing leaders

Blinding mentors, wasting purpose

Their future now is bleak, they’re becoming weak

We won’t let you freak; we see you in the dark,

We give you a serious break, you’re never of the hook

Usiguse mtoto huku, we will hunt you down

We will hunt you down, we will hunt you down

 

Under 18, Wacha wasome!!

 

Mzazi pia nisikize bana,

Tunajua una mihela ama huna nd’o unasaka sana

Watoto wanafunzwa na ulimwengu tukilaumiana

Kazi yako ofisi, maanake uko busy,

Mtoto ana tetesi, huna hajana kesi,

Nje kuna mafisi, na mioto kama pasi

Tenga muda kiasi, mtoto aisle risasi

You brought them here, they didn’t apply,

Hear them cry, asking why,

Mama’s away, where’s my daddy

Hear them pray, come and stay

Who will be their guide, moving through the tide

Please take a stand, take away the cloud

They are not rude, just a little scared

Mzae keti rada, life is tough on them

Life is tough on them, life is tough on them

Under 18, Wacha wasome!!

Vipi brother sister nipe dakika moja

Life haina spare nd’o maana leo nimekuja

Jifunze kusema No, kujiwaste hakuna haja

Mwili unawake, shida zinakusaka

Raha ikishika, ni noma kukutoka

Presha inakusuka, mabeste wakikuteka

Ukitulia wanakucheka, but Mungu anakutaka

Ujana ni moshi, this will end

Stand your ground, build your brand

I’ll hold your hand, I’ll be your friend

If you want to trend, si lazima u blend

This is your time to grow,

18 and below, deterimines where you’ll go

I’m talking to you hello, there’s a better tomorrow

Haya Maisha ni yako, make your choices wise

Make your choices wise, make your choices wise

 


Under Eighteen, Wacha wasome,

Under Eighteen, Wacha wasome,

Under Eighteen, Wacha wasome

Under Eighteen, Wacha wasome


Translated Sections

Verse1: Warning to the public

Respect is an important thing pal

Confusing children with money is foolishness old folk

Everybody has been created to live well and succeed

We are raising a generation, you ensnare them with fries

They have no roots yet you’re making them parents

You’re making us fools we’ll make you shed tears

If you want to exercise, leave this age-set alone

You’re messing up with a brighter future,

Shaping failures, grooming haters

Drowning dreamers, killing leaders

Blinding mentors, wasting purpose

Their future now is bleak, they’re becoming weak


We won’t let you freak; we see you in the dark,

We give you a serious break, you’re never of the hook

Do not touch a child here we will hunt you down.

We will hunt you down, we will hunt you down

 

Verse2: To the parents

Parent listen to me too

We know you’re loaded with money or are searching for it a lot

Children taught by the world while we play blame games

Your work is in office, meaning you’re very busy

The child has a complaint, you’ve no time for the case

Outside are hyenas and fire like a hot iron box

Spare some little time, lest the child suffer the bullet

You brought them here, they didn’t apply,

Hear them cry, asking why,

Mama’s away, where’s my daddy

Hear them pray, come and stay

Who will be their guide, moving through the tide

Please take a stand, take away the cloud

They are not rude, just a little scared

Parent beware, life is tough on them,

Life is tough on them, life is tough on them

Chorus

Hello brother sister give me one minute

Life has no spare that’s why i’ve come

Learn to say no there’s no need wasting yourself

The body is on fire, troubles are looking for you

When merry engulfs you it’s very hard to escape

Pressure is mounting, friends are holding you hostage

If you deny they laugh at you but God still wants you

Youthfulness is like smoke, this will end,

Stand your ground, build your brand

I’ll hold your hand, I’ll be your friend

If you want to trend, you don’t have to blend in

This is your time to grow,

18 and below, determines where you’ll go

I’m talking to you hello, there’s a better tomorrow

This is your life, make your choices wise,

Make your choices wise, make your choices wise
