Mr Officer
Yea ah
Mr officer
Please don't shoot me
Yea, please don't cuff me
I'm just a man like you
Please don't hurt my mum
Yea uh
Sirens is getting loud
A boy got shot
He done nothing
Drugs and crime been the chase
The government takes
We just want a piece of cake
We live in the slums
The ghetto
What do you expect
It's your fault
I woke up this morning
Hoping for a change
Kenya are you still the land of the smile?
I wonder
Mr Officer am surprised
You put cuffs on my arms
Yet you ain't free
Trapped in a dome of greedy leaders
You just a guinea pig
Bloodshed in your hands
Mr dirty hands
You in the wrong fight
Lemme reflect what we go through
Maybe you'll change your shoes
Witness the cries and
Maybe you'll feel the pain
Urgh Mr Officer yea
PLEASE DON'T SHOOT
am just a man like you
PLEASE DON'T CUFF ME
me and you ain't free
What goes around comes around
What fears you have in this world
Whatever they did isn't right
From the bottom to the top
You hurt my feelings
So we breaking through
So we breaking through
Yea yea yea
Sirens is getting loud
A boy got shot
He done nothing
Hello Mr.Officer
No one wants you around
Your presence is a crave for justice
The sky full of stars
Our hearts full of scars
Last week you made an illegal arrest
He was just trynna get bread since you shot his father
We made a protest justice got delayed
Is democracy a business?
Is it used to discriminate the less?
Does it shield the government?
Or is my knowledge based on my instincts?
Am no longer loyal to the constitution
We living as slaves in our land
History repeating itself
Black men betraying their own
Shackled by the Western culture
That's why Dedan ain't alive today
I wonder if things could be the same if he saw this generation
These are stories they never tell you mother Kenya
Injustice is your theme
Holding my breathe still
Mr Officer violence ain't the solution
Am no closer to you
That's why I use my music to retaliate back uh
Mother's loosing their sons
Father's loosing their families
The rich bullying the poor
The officer being the judge
I've witnessed all this in Kibera
Blacky and Stupid just to mention
PLEASE DON'T SHOOT
am just a man like you
PLEASE DON'T CUFF ME
me and you ain't free
PLEASE DON'T SHOOT
am just a man like you
PLEASE DON'T CUFF ME
me and you ain't free
What goes around
Comes around
What fears you have in this world
Whatever they did isn't right
From the bottom to the top you hurt my feelings
So, we breaking through...
