ss ww ni mbara utaelewa vp kiswahili au mambo ya waswahili
Ni mswahili
Mswahili baba mpwani
Baba yangu kabila zake
Nusu Mgiriamu nusu Mhindu
Mamangu ni mchonyi
Complete
Kwa hivyo mimi pia ni mswahili kama nyinyi
Hata na nywele za singa
Mtakuona
Wacha nimuonyeshe
Hizi ni singa ama si singa
Hizi ni singa ama si singa

Replying to @naeemsky01 being from Mombasa doesn't mean the tribe only. Some people from the mainland have been living here for years and that's enough for them to say they are from mombasa or the coast. I am also Swahili because Swahili is more than a tribe. Swahili is a culture #swahilitiktok #mombasatiktokers #mombasa #fyp
