ONCE UPON A GUN

Once upon a gun bullets zimekuwa na the best lullaby ya kuweka vijana wengi asleep. Unalala fo fo fo FOREVER ki WAKANDA.

Early in the morning uko Mavela, JOGOO amewika but you never know utalala juu Karao ameCOCK 

ViJANA ni viongozi wa KESHO but wanadedishwa LEO.

A minute of silence.

Gunshot, Sirens, Soul gone. Gunshot, Sirens, another soul gone. Gunshot, Sirens, another soul gone. Moment of silence.

Rest in peace to the gone souls

SUDDEN death ya ma youth and that is the SAD truth.

Ni kama wanalipa their DEBT na recent DATES imekuwa their DEADline.

InaHURT Ukiifikiria unaweza shikwa na HEART BURN. H ART the BANd ningekushow ULIZA KIATU but their SOULS are gone cause they were killed by SHARPSHOOTERS.

POLICY ni utumishi kwa wote but ni kama POLISI wanatumika. Hawaoni BLOOD shed si poa. Ki John Cena ni kama wako na BLURRED vision.

Makarao, Madharao na Murder yao, wameshindwa kuCOP wanaongeza number of CORPSE kwa street. 

Uko kwa streets kwa sababu ya UNEMPLOYMENT but kazi yao niku FIRE.

Kama Muslim amevaa HIJAB they got everything COVERED in blood.

Sorry zile pesa za compensation ni kama ziliLAND in the wrong hands and that is the PLANE truth.

If I die in the battle field, tell my mama I did my best.

Tell her napambana kufanya kila kitu ndio nikiPUMZIKA nikuwe nimeovercome the REST.

Tell her experience is the best teacher that’s why niliamua kufunzwa na Ulimwengu na ikinishinda aelewe MTIHANI wa maisha ni ngumu hata kama nitaFAIL I know one day nitaPASS.

Nitaitwa the LATE despite being an EARLY bird, who never caught the worm, my BAD.

Tumetry kuFIGHT with our VOICES from generation to generation to come but ni kama our Saliva iko na ARMLASE. 

We raise our ARMS they raise their ARMS.

We raise our arms in surrender they raise their arms, like a planted seed ready to shoot.

Mbona ni LIVE bullets zinatake LIVES heri zingeitwa DEAD bullet.

Put a bullet before this sentences.

Ile slogan ya if you open your mouth and say anything it will be used against you in court of law ni kama ilienda na bei ya jioni. Inakuwa used against you in courts of Heaven. 

The system is rigged.

Siitaji MASAUTI coz am a KENYAN BOY nitatumia SAUTI yangu SOLo kuwaambia tunafeel INSECURE.  

If I die in the battle field, tell my mama I did my best. 

Me ni ERRAND boy, siko MATERNITY but nimekuja KuDELIVER. 

MTUMWA hauwawi instead hupewa FARE. Kwa hii gari mmepanda SARE. am good CONDUCTOR, usishtuke siwezi wa SHOCK.
