Afande (Policeman) [feat. Walter Koga] Songtext
von Aaron English

Yahhhhhh
We′re bringing something new for the world to hear!

Major General wearing black trouser
Afande wearing brown suit
Major General wearing black trouser
Afande wearing brown suit

I come to this city full of dust and sweat and noise
The living & the dying and the consequence of choice
My people used to light a fire to keep the lions at bay
Now who will shine a light for me to keep these city wolves away?

Afande, afande
Please, please, afande
Afande, afande
Please, please, afande


I am taking a bus to Nairobi
Kisumu pass by
Kericho pass by
Nakuru pass by
Kericho pass by
Nakuru pass by
Naivasha pass by
then l reach Nairobi

Afande, afande
Please, please, afande
Afande, afande
Please, please, afande

I came to this city with my suitcase full of dreams
Now I know this city it ain't nothing like it seems
I came to this city with my suitcase full of dreams
Now I know this city it ain′t nothing like it seems

The bus driver made a mistake
by dropping us in the middle of Nairobi town
Then the policeman met me by mistake
while I was carrying my nyatiti
and he started harassing me
asking me bogus questions
What are you carrying in your bag?
I told him I'm just carrying my nyatiti
The policeman came to me and wanted to tie me up
l started begging: don't take me in!
l just came to see my children in Kariobange!


I came to this city with my suitcase full of dreams
Now I know this city it ain′t nothing like it seems
I came to this city with my suitcase full of dreams
Now I know this city it ain′t nothing like it seems

Afande, afande
Please, please, afande
Afande, afande
Please, please, afande

Afande, afande
Afande, afande
Afande, afande
Afande, afande
