    [Intro]
    Tuta teremsha chini
    Paka chini paka chini
    Come on come on
    Make I give you love that you know
    Love that you know
    Lamu sing song in a vibe that you know
    Do you wanna see me more

    [Verse 1]
    Nakunywera mu kachai ondi mu mubiri
    Mu musaayi muli mwenakukyaza
    Slow slowly you are killing me
    Leero kyenjagala kukubaaza
    (Ye mama)
    See I could give you belly wine in a sari
    And I could give it to you right now
    (Ye mama)
    I do for Jerry Jerry what’s necessary
    I’m an Afrobic performer
    (Ye mama)

    [Pre Hook]
    Where’s my Jeremy?
    Fine boy already
    Yani ninampenda halali
    Where’s my Jeremy?
    Fine boy already
    Yani ninampenda halali

    [Chorus]
    My love ain’t got no template
    It comes original
    Original
    My love ain’t got no template
    It comes original
    Original

    [Verse 2]
    Anajua nampenda
    Halisi nanikweli
    Haturudi nyuma
    Sasa nitampa tender
    Kuondoka siwezi
    Ma hater wata shindwa
    Anajua nampenda
    Halisi nanikweli
    Haturudi nyuma
    Sasa nitampa tender
    Kuondoka siwezi
    Ma hater wata shindwa

    [Pre Hook]
    Where’s my Jeremy?
    Fine boy already
    Yani ninampenda halali
    Tuta teremsha chini Paka chini paka chini
    Where’s my Jeremy?
    Fine boy already
    Yani ninampenda halali
    Tuta teremsha chini Paka chini paka chini

    [Chorus]
    My love ain’t got no template
    It comes original

    My love ain’t got no template

    Tuta teremsha chini paka chini paka chini

    [Pre Hook]

    Tuta teremsha chini paka chini paka chini
    Where’s my Jeremy?
    Fine boy already
    Yani ninampenda halali
    Tuta teremsha chini paka chini paka chini

    [Chorus]
    My love ain’t got no template

    A month ago, Ugandan singer Lamu shared the official music video for ‘Original’. The young women sing and dance, wearing dresses, beads, Bantu knots, and braids to fetch water. Next, she goes to make a meal for her man, and something odd happens at the end. Watch the visual for the Melanin Boy and Artin Pro-produced track below to see what happens. Larry Hector directed the fun, light-hearted video about lovers in Kampala, Uganda, East Africa.

    Also, the African artist Lamu released an official performance video for ‘Mpola’ four months ago.
