There are better ways
There are better ways than the streets to cause change
And we have all the things that we need to bring change
Yet ignorance remains our major defense
when we form queues to get handouts
And then we act surprised
We act very surprised when they mess us
You have power with your ballot
The loudest voice you have
But then this selective amnesia
We have at the polling station has always
Taken us back to the same situation
The truth is, he who pays the piper calls the tune
He who feeds the masses defines the meal,
The ratios, the ethos,
and all those things that we cannot chose or define
You give away your power, I see you
You give away your power, your birthright,
Your best life for a morsel and then you complain
It’s time, replace the streets with your votes
Replace the bullets with the ballot
When you do it, I swear they must listen
Have you registered to cast your ballot?
What the hell are you waiting for?
What the hell are you waiting for?
You want change but you do nothing
Shenziii sana, they call me that and it is true
More so if I don’t register as a voter
And when I chose not to vote
