The said they were invincible
told us they were the Imperialist Power
they ruled the world and beyond and all the seas
they jailed us and killed us in thousands and took our lands
they told us what to do and called us all kinds of names to our faces
But they forgot all about the LIONS of Africa
they had not met
THE MAU-MAU
they did leave, they left with their tails between their legs
We are the Kikuyu, we are the lions of Africa, untamed
we may not rule the world, we not not have golden hair
but we are born where the lions roam and we are not white
