My young life has reached a fork
The path now branches, it's forky
My mind in a meddle, it's in turmoil
Whether to relax or to toil
...
I met many girls in my life
None could be my wife
I wanted a woman
A true African woman
...
If God is by your side
Just tackle life with pride
You owe it to yourself to march on in life
No friend, relative or even your wife
...
So we fought
Freed ourselves from the rot
Independence, our freedom so we celebrated
From the shackles so now we are liberated
...
Youths' life today is sadness
Thieving and whoring, it is madness
Walk a street at night, taste the badness
Woman and children, sick and elderly, the defenceless
...
I don't reason
My mind has no season
Check the inscription on my heart
Does it match the prescription on your part?
...
I still fondly reminisce
Of the first kiss
I got from the little miss
My heart is always at peace
...
Maiwe-e
Cry of an African child
Ndiri kuchemera iwe newe
African heart gone wild
...
Ask any smoker
How much enjoyment
Is to be got
From the last puff
...
