Let us examine ourselves
A letter came from Jaramogi and KenyattaAsking if Kenya is doing well
I answered, 'We have a disaster in Kenya'
Our children keep burying each other
And Tom Mboya is in anguish
He left us while still young
If he was around would things be better?
That's just what the Lord planned
We are still paying the debts you left behind
And we have borrowed more from China
We built a railway (SGR) and roads
People stole the leftovers
So let us examine ourselves
We are worse off today than we were yesterday
A dying ear cannot be cured
We go to Twitter to turn on each other1
Let us examine ourselves
We are worse off today than we were yesterday
If we don't seal the crack we will rebuild the wall
Let's toil for our own riches while we are still young
Believers in buses and Pastors in BMWs
Tithing on the right and offering on the left
That's why in church, Politicians
take the sacrament before the citizens
The last days are already here
As the Book of Revelation tells us
This generation is painting a bad picture of itself
It's our generation
So let us examine ourselves
We are worse off today than we were yesterday
A dying ear cannot be cured
We go to Twitter to turn on each other
Let us examine ourselves
We are worse off today than we were yesterday
If we don't seal the crack we will rebuild the wall
Let's toil for our own riches while we are still young
Michuki said let's fasten our seatbelts
See how today we are reaping what we sow
Our votes divided us
We consumed tribes and money
So when you make your bed oh
(You lie on it ohh!)
What kind of sleep is this?
We will realize our ignorance
Vision 2030 will remain fiction
So let us examine ourselves
We are worse off today than we were yesterday
A dying ear cannot be cured
We go to Twitter to turn on each other
Let us examine ourselves
We are worse off today than we were yesterday
If we don't seal the crack we will rebuild the wall
Let's toil for our own riches while we are still young
Nyashinski
A powerful man told me 'Freedom never comes for free'
We vote tribe or real cash, ask Boni
Our hearts are where you can't call the riot police and their dogs on us
World mzima twitter kot ndio first body
Burn the image in your mind, we are Africans, Black coffee (Annan)
I'm richer than my neighbor but we both in the slum
If the rich always win then why should the popular run?
Unless Democracy is a word we just say only for fun
Let us examine ourselves!
This weekend we are in church selling our faces completely
A social media post of booty goes along well with a caption of scripture
If that's the Gospel, then pass the offering bag in the club
Let us examine ourselves!
Traffic drugs to buy a car, cars are dragging in traffic
Admiring a thief who has become rich, stories of land that they have grabbed
The hand that bribes is wearing a bracelet with the colors of the flag
Yeah!
- 1. it is meant to shed some light on the role of social media in dealing with problems in the country. This line basically means that Kenyans turn on each other on social media instead of uniting to deal with the issues that face the country first hand
