Intro

What do you mean I bought you a rolex I bought you a watch Alafu unaniamsha very late on the dot what do you want another big clock ama unataka ninunue City clock Aiiiaaaa....

Africa Timer

You never keep time

You're just an Africa Timer

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

African timer

You're an African Timer say it

African Timer

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

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

Boss hataelewa

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

Africa Timer

You never keep time

You're just an Africa Timer

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

African timer

You're an African Timer say it

You're just an Africa Timer

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

Unapenda kuchelewa tu

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

Unapenda kuchelewa tu

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

Nafika kazini

Kitu kama saa mbili

But my secretary

Bado nafunga ofisi

So I buy a newspaper and begin to pass time

Coz this is African time

You just sit and mark time

Alafu kitu saa tatu

She is in a matatu

Saying aki ninakam

But there's so much traffic jam

These are the signs of an African Timer

Africa Timer

You never keep time

You're just an Africa Timer

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

African timer

You're an African Timer say it

You're just an Africa Timer

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

Unapenda kuchelewa tu

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

Unapenda kuchelewa tu

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

It doesn't matter if you're black white fat or thin

Or if you are a jamaa

Or a fine looking chick

This is all about time

Precious time

And if you don't keep time then you're an African

Africa Timer

You never keep time

You're just an Africa Timer

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu

African timer

You're an African Timer say it

African Timer

Unapenda kuchelewa tu

Juu unapenda kuchelewa tu
