Intro: This is Kibera and as the sun sets behind the silhouette of the city there is a side of Nairobi, Kenya that tourists never see / An ocean of people living in abject poverty with no running water sewage or electricity / It's been documented as the largest slum in Africa... / There is a place in the heart of the Motherland (Africa) / So many livin' in poverty that I just can't understand / They used to live like kings but now they're slaves to the system / They used to rule as warriors but now they're the victims / Chorus: Woe Nairobi / Woe Nairobi / We're calling the warriors who are fighting for justice / Calling emancipators / Come on and help us / Woe ya ya / Oh ya ya ya / Make shift zinc houses that is where they sleep / Full up of diseases and the stench of the rubbish heap / Civilized people just fighting for the dollar / Surrounded by evil living in a squalor--Nairobi / (CHORUS) / Bridge: So what you gonna do? / What you gonna do to make a difference? / Utafanya nini? / Utafanya nini? (What will you do?) / For the situation? (Repeat) ...to solve this problem / ooh wele... / It starts with you and me... / (CHORUS) / We're calling the warriors / We're calling emancipators / Oh yes we're calling the freedom fighters / Just come on and help us oh yeah / (Bridge) / Mola w___u nisaidie (My God, help me!) / Maisha huku Kibich ni magumu (Life in Kibera is hard!) / Tafadhali nisaidie (Please help me!) / Nitafanya nini (What can I do?).
