Let Me Explain

Let me explain the life I’ve been through in and out
of bounds.Where you see nothing but dirt on the
streets and the helplessness surrounds.

Let me explain, where some feel cool and fresh.
Others consider it the best nations in the world
hands down. Freedom is the life and  life is nothing
without freedom.

Let me explain how life is lived.
there is a reason why they call us the
“Kenyans” cause it’s earned. Nothing
down there is given. It’s about the action and not a
mouth-washing machine talking.

Let me explain how the gunshots are a non-stop
game. Making us feel sympathy for the ones that got
wounded. Don’t get into a fight without knowing the
consequences you could face, anything is possible.

Let me explain where drought is never ends
seeing people glance at the sky for a drop of water
to fall. It’s a once in a lifetime waterfall people
stand to praise.

Let me explain where strangers are danger
Follow you until you’re out of sight and see
nothing but red. Let me explain how
the non-looking son will never leave
your fingerprints until gotten, walking
and feeling the sound of the wind
is just your voice whispering to itself.
