I woke up mapema kama nimefurahi
I put on a shati na nikajifunga tai
So I went down for chai na ma-hopes za mayai
kufika huko sito hata milk haja-buy
eish jo, madam
boss hataelewa
juu hii ni job ya tano na bado mi nachelewa
enyewe huyu wife amenitupisha mbao
na mi nahisi kama nitamrudisha kwao
so I just went for jobo mi nikiwa na ubao
na stress za ubao nikaziacha kwa hao

saying aki ninakam
but there's so much traffic jam
these are the signs of an African Timer
