Drunk, but not by liquor.

Kennedy Mwangi 1998 (Nairobi)



They say wine makes the lips loose, but I'm drunk and I haven't had wine in a while. The bottle hasn't touched my lips for sometime now and my feels haven't been bottled up for a while now.
I'm drunk. Not by wine or liquor, but by you and your vigour.
I'm drunk in love and for sure it feels better than sipping tequila on a cold bench in Ibiza.
I'm drunk. In your beauty and all the glamour you bring with you like it's your solemn duty.
I haven't seen the world but I once I stare into those pretty eyes, I find myself at the Caribbeans, sand bathing, covered in mad and dancing like we're Indians.
So when I say I'm drunk, it's not by liquor but by your love, and it's way better than honeydew liquor! I'm drunk, and my lips can't keep it in. Your name is all they want to sing.
I'm drunk, in the tender feel of your lips, sexy shape of your feet, that curve of your hips and your heart with it's beat.
I'm drunk, not by wine but by you cause you are fine!
