I’m Kenyan by Birth!! Mkenya Halisi – Si tulisema Kenya Ni Home?
Today, for the youth in my country, this is but an empty slogan
for the Jobless and Unemployed, it’s unaffordable to belong
I speak for my lastborn brother, who waited a year to be known
.
I’m Kenyan by Birth!! Mkenya Halisi – Tena mbona miezi tisa?
Today, a Waiting Card is like an announcement of pregnancy,
with scheduled prenatal visits to Huduma Centre in trimesters,
Oh, and poor services, unending delays, labor pains – all that lunacy
.
I’m Kenyan by Birth!! Mkenya Halisi – Kwa kweli mnyonge hana Haki
My countrymen are lost in the reverie of a Constitutional Democracy,
whatever that means for the four million youth – unidentified and unlucky
You see, claiming your rights bila kutoa kitu kidogo is deemed as crazy
.
I’m Kenyan by Birth!! Mkenya Halisi – Hii ni taabini ya Identity Yetu
Bila IDs, Hatuna Rights, Hatuna Vote, Hatuna Voice – Outsiders ni Mimi Na Wewe
Bila IDs, wamehakikisha Vijana tuko in suspense – Bila Form! Bila Chetu!
Ni Wakati Vijana Tugutuke! Mkombozi wa Kenya Ni Mkenya Mwenyewe!!
