The Streets of Nairobi
Streets of Nairobi: Unveiling Urban Realities in The Members' Melody
Lyrics
You laugh your head off till the tears run down your face
You find something extremely amusing to the point where tears stream down your face
This could be heaven but you know there is no such place
This situation or experience might seem perfect, but in reality, an ideal place like heaven doesn't exist
Chip[ on your Shoulder Starts to weigh you down
A persistent feeling of resentment or grievance is starting to burden you
This could be clink street, but not this time around
Although the place might have similarities to a place called Clink Street, the circumstances are different this time
You’re on the Streets of Nairobi
You are situated or experiencing life in the streets of Nairobi
How can laugh till you cry
Questioning how one can find something funny enough to laugh until crying in the challenging circumstances of Nairobi's streets
on the Streets of Nairobi
Reiteration of being in Nairobi's streets, highlighting the toughness of the situation
Take a walk Say Goodbye
Suggesting to take a walk and bid farewell to the situation or circumstances
You pick a wrong one from the right side of the tracks
You made an incorrect choice from the seemingly right path or options available
You pick a right one and theres no turning back
Once you make the correct choice, there's no going back or reversing the situation
Bible bashers tell me it armageddon time
People who interpret the Bible warn about an imminent apocalyptic event
from Spanish to to Africa, Babies to Babylon
Referencing a broad spectrum of cultures, from Spanish to African, and from innocent babies to the historical city of Babylon
On the Streets of Nairobi
Reiteration of the ongoing experience in the streets of Nairobi
How can laugh till you cry
Continued questioning about finding humor in such difficult circumstances
on the Streets of Nairobi
Reaffirming the challenging situation in Nairobi's streets
Take a walk Say Goodbye
Suggesting to take a walk and leave the challenging environment behind
A Bomb Explodes The Hotel is a mess
Depiction of a chaotic situation resulting from a bomb explosion in a hotel
Someone makes a statement, While someone else gets hurt
Someone makes a significant statement while others suffer harm or injury
A withered hand is held out for the loose change you ahve got
A person with a disabled or impaired hand asks for the loose change you possess
The Working Girl hangs out for the neatly folded Notes
A sex worker waits for payment in the form of neatly folded banknotes
On the Streets of Nairobi
Continued depiction of life or circumstances in the streets of Nairobi
How can laugh till you cry
Continued questioning of finding amusement in such difficult circumstances
on the Streets of Nairobi
Reiteration of the challenging situation in Nairobi's streets
Take a walk Say Goodbye
Encouragement to leave the situation behind by taking a walk and bidding goodbye
