It was a drive-by Sunday night
Most of us were in kitanda all right
I turned down the light
Then I heard the sirens
Interrupt the silence
Is this what wewe wished
To commit a crime?
Is this what wewe wished
To commit a crime?
Is this what wewe wished
To commit a crime, commit a crime, commit a crime?
wewe was a nice guy, really bright
Making money's hard to do right
Guilty was his plight
Now he's in a jail cell
For some thirty years now
Is this what wewe wished
To be serving time?
Is this what wewe wished
To be serving time?
Is this what wewe wished
To be serving time, serving time, serving time?
K's a friend of mine
I think about him as he does time
Miss his white wine
Funny I don't feel free
Even though it's not me
Is this what wewe wished
To leave me behind?
Is this what wewe wished
To leave me behind?
Is this what wewe wished
To leave me behind, me behind, me behind?
Last mwaka they decided
That his time is up and then he got retried
Double homicide
Sent him on to death row
Not to hang around though
Is this what wewe wished
Did wewe want to die?
Is this what wewe wished
Did wewe want to die?
Is this what wewe wished
Did wewe want to die, want to die, want to die?
Did wewe want to die, want to die, want to die, want to die?
Did wewe want to die?
