Telema

Mm eh mm
Telema Telema was a boy that I use to know
(Telema Telema iyaa)
Telema Telema used to have such a loving soul
(Telema Telema iyaa)
Telema became the leader of them boys
They called him white oboko
(Telema Telema iyaa)
One day Telema came to the house with a gun
And he chased a sister that he used to love
(Telema Telema iyaa)

Oh my mama looked in his eyes
She cried cried cried Telema why oh why
Why you want to kill
My daughter used to hide you in the
Closet when them people came for you
You ate my pepper and my salt
May this earth judge the two of use
But the boy she knew is here no more
And he said to her

Ma ndioma munaha sorobia oooh
(Uh uh)
Ma ndiojo munaha sorobia oooh

Ma ndioma munaha sorobia oh sorobia oooh

Telema made it right with people at home ah
(Telema Telema iyaa)
Telema many times he escaped enemies
Even the soldiers couldn't find (Telema Telema iyaa)
One day a neighbor came to the house
Have you heard Telema has been killed
They laid him on the street for all to see
(Telema Telema iyaa)

Oh my mama fell to the ground
She cried cried cried Telema why why why
What kind of world is this
When it looks it's the ending
That's when it is beginning
You brought a soul that's innocent to this world
Now your's is taken away
