Yeah!
It's a call to action to the current generation. Basically writing a letter to the founding fathers and telling them the country is in a much worse position than where they left it. The current generation is then asked to self reflect and take charge of their destiny.
The song is about the price we are paying now due to failures from our past leaders + our current Generation is reaping it! So we should soul search ourselves and change!
The song is composed of Swahili similes and some hard phrases, to add on to that they also used some street slang used by used teenagers and youths so like trying to translate it using google, it won't be entirely successive not unless you get a kenyan t o translate it for you.
