A beggar cannot choose
And once a beggar you must shoulder
Every trash that comes from your master
Every injustice that comes with your capture
Our sovereignty, our sovereignty will be safer
And secure, secure with debt regulation
We must balance between begging and thriving
We must kill our evil appetite for public resources
Because a beggar cannot choose, and a beggar is never free
We borrow money,
We borrow money that disappears in pockets
Of connected individuals in high places
Projects stall and cartels prosper
And that is the Kenyan problem we must address
The major loopholes we must seal for the country to see progress
You have been looking for the power to be free
Yet you have it and never use it
Wake up and smell the coffee
We need to be a free country
And we can’t be with crazy debt
When they loan us, they own us
Say no to debt mismanagement
Add your voice and make it end
Foreign debt, foreign debt is not the answer
We must choose to change the tune
Make noise until they listen
Or better still make it change at the ballot
