King'oi - Wana Wa Kesho (2024)

My dear Kenya has experienced unprecedented upheaval in the past two months pitting the coming-of-age youth, dubbed GenZ, against an increasingly insenstive government that has exposed itself through greed, corruption and incompetence.
I pray for our fearless youth.
Wana Wa Kesho
By King’oi - 2024
Habari mbaya toka kaskazini, watoto wanalia
Ingawa hawana hatia, wako kizuizini
Viongozi wameshindwa kulipata lile suluhisho
La Uhuru
Nimesikia toka magharibi, vita vimezuka
Siku zao za uvumilivu, zimemalizika
Wa-Afrika tuungane ndugu zetu tuwakomboe
Wapate Uhuru
(Chorus)
Wana wa kesho
Msikubali tena kunyanyaswa
Msiogope
Mwisho wa dhiki yenu madaraka (x2)
Nimeamini itafika siku, tutakapoungana
Mweusi na mweupe nyumba moja, wakijadiliana
Wa-Afrika tuungane ndugu zetu tuwakomboe
Wapate Uhuru
Wana wa kesho
Msikubali tena kunyanyaswa
Msiogope
Mwisho wa dhiki yenu madaraka (x2)
(Bridge)
Utajuta we mlofa, ziku zako zakwisha
We mlofa, aah, we mlofa
Utajuta we mwizi, ziku zako zakwisha
We mwizi, ooh, we mwizi
Utajuta we mlofa, ziku zako zakwisha
We mlofa, aah, we mlofa
Utajuta we mwongo, ziku zako zakwisha
We mwongo, ooh, we mwongo
Pambaneni ndugu zangu, pambaneni-ooh
Msikubali tena kunyanyaswa
Yaja siku yenu, yaja siku yenu
Mwisho wa dhiki yenu madaraka
Wana wa kesho
Msikubali tena kunyanyaswa
Msiogope
Mwisho wa dhiki yenu madaraka

Message Loud And Clear. Change is coming.

[@kingoimkenya]

Thank you Mr. Sax!!

[@blessedlove2113]

Beautiful song indeed. GenZ inspire GenZote. And the fight wasnt about just about politicians money but about getting rid of colonialism.

[@kingoimkenya]

Thanks for listening, commenting and sharing. Indeed this is our biggest collectivr challenge after 60 years of 'indeoendence'. The youngest men and women of voting age (a majority!) revealed that our freedom has been an illusion.

[@mauriceireri71]

Kazi safi sana mkuu👏👏 very encouraging... What's happening to Kenya right now is revolutionary and I believe and hope the country will be heading in the right direction now that most of us now take seriously matters concerning leadership of our country as we've witnessed and registered that it does directly affect our livelihoods.

Thank you so much Maestro. Please share it widely. I believe that we're heading to a much more grevious situation now. We must resist. Kenya is not a personal fiefdom to be bartered for shiny beads, executive jet rides and imperialist favours.
