Friends, patriots, children of this Kenyan soil, lend me your ears.I come not to praise Raila, nor to curse him.But to lay wreaths of truth upon his long, arduous road.He was Jakom, the people’s leader.Son of Odinga, heir to the unfinished dream.When Moi’s shadow fell like a drought upon our tongues.He rose, flame in hand, with Matiba, Rubia and others beside him.Their names carrying in whispers…

“They buried the bodies.Then waved the flag.But the soil remembers.” REX Albert, it feels weird waking up and opening my eyes not to screams or smoke, but to songs.Melodies that arrive through justice not tear gas scented winds.Without a need to run, I was lazily strolling this morning, digging my toes into the wet grass.Here, where no toy soldier lurks ready to make the air sting with…

Intro: 2024 Sssss, I saw dead people.(Massacred the streets, no?) Verse 1: 2024 Aye, massacred the streets, soNo real leaders around, just a pony show.State clowns, punch their timestamps, tell ’em “Leave bro.”Raise a finger then a coin toss, then walk around like they know.What’s up with these slave masters trying to get their laugh on?The government can hate me, dust ’em off and they…

Naamka asubuhi napiga dua for vigeti, sala more natumia mama kwa kibeti.Big fish kwa sahani ndio maana nashusha neti, ligi soh natafuta hizo zangu senti.Pay per clue ama stage haijalipiwa, donda wa flow change yangu ni kitu pure.Sticks and stones nikitusiwa, nabreak bones kama gwiji wa rap akiwapa kitu sure.Colour kwa face, akala mpaka base, nakala ya case, nitashinda usitie shaka.Maisha…

Mr President, I’m not a revolutionary, I’m a poet.I shall try my best to not have my words sound like bars that could be perceived as enemy lines. I’m afraid that I’ll raise a storm that could brew a kickstart to knowledge at lightning speeds.Mr President, I’m certain I would not skim any parts of the historical scams or telltale signs.I would delve deeper till I rooted out what was fertilizing…

GENERATION ZIIBroke, jobless, taxed, homeless, no wonder the streets keep calling.Smoke, fearless, facts, timeless, we’ll march again and keep coming. In the spirit of Wangarĩ, Mboya, Ouko, Njindo and others, we claim our birth right.We are not here to be the 4th liberation, we have got the final one in sight. You thought we got our heads stuck on our screens didn’t you?You missed us gaining…
