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

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
