“Tena” (Again) is a bold, emotionally intense anthem where Mbosso draws a firm line after enduring a toxic relationship. Through powerful, candid lyrics infused with sarcasm and raw pain, he shares the trauma of a love that turned violent and disrespectful. Mbosso makes it crystal clear that going back is not an option — humorously declaring he’d rather “Afuge nyani” (raise a monkey) than love her once more.

Set against a dramatic, rhythmic beat, “Tena” is a striking declaration of self-worth, healing, and the refusal to accept anything less than respect and peace.
Mbosso – Tena LYRICS
Jasho lilinitoka mwenzenu hata kwenye AC,
Yule niliesema shemeni yenu alinipandisha BP.
Ngumi mkononi, kuvaana maungoni, mimi sijazoea,
Yanamtoka mdomoni, nakosa silioni,
Mwezangu ananifokea, oooh Nono.
Kwake mi kurudi tena, hilo haliwezekani,
Mimi kumpenda tena, si bora tu nifuge nyani.
Kwake mi kurudi tena, hilo haliwezekani,
Mimi kumpenda tena, si bora tu nifuge nyani.
Mambo ya kulilia mapenzi,
Ni miaka ya tisini kushuka chini,
Watoto wa Elfu mbili hawawezi hayo mambo,
Hilo uweke akilini…
Ngumi mkononi, kuvaana maungoni, mimi sijazoea,
Yanamtoka mdomoni, nakosa silioni,
Mwezangu ananifokea, oooh Nono.
Kwake mi kurudi tena, hilo haliwezekani,
Mimi kumpenda tena, si bora tu nifuge nyani.
Kwake mi kurudi tena, (Ahaaahaa)
Hilo haliwezekani, (Haiwezekani)
Mimi kumpenda tena, si bora tu nifuge nyani.
(Siwezi) Kwake mi kurudi tena,
Hilo haliwezekani, (Hiyo ni dhambi)
Mimi kumpenda tena, (Mimi kumpa moyo wangu)
Si bora tu nifuge nyani, (Haramu).
