Verse 1
I woke up mapema kama nimefurahi
I put on a shati na nikajifunga tai
So I went down for chai na ma-hopes za mayai
kufika huko sito hata milk haja-buy
eish jo, madam

juu hii ni job ya tano na bado mi nachelewa
enyewe huyu wife amenitupisha mbao
na mi nahisi kama nitamrudisha kwao
so I just went for jobo mi nikiwa na ubao
na stress za ubao nikaziacha kwa hao

she is in a matatu
saying aki ninakam
but there's so much traffic jam
these are the signs of an African Timer

    why dont kenyan radio stations devote some time to the old kenyan songs. Whenever they do throw back songs they do BIG and tupac, lets make some kenyan songs classics too! its always great to reminisce bout where you came from. More kenyan old school! Would love to hear african timer on the radio!

    i love this song, i'm definitely an african timer but add that to being punjabi and you you get double the lateness. my wife is always complaining that i'm forever late for everything
