Remmy Ongala – Karola Lyrics
Ukiwa mtenda mabaya, wewe mwenyewe haujijui
Ukiwa mtenda mabaya, kila siku unasema unaonewa
Ukiwa mtenda mabaya, huko unakokwenda pia ni pabaya
Ukiwa na roho mbaya eeh, kweli tutakuogopa
Ukiwa na pesa nyingi, husahau hata ndugu zako
Kweli walimwengu hawana wema –
Mola awape nini?
Karola weee… Karolaaa!
Eeeh rola wee we weee…
Karola we we we weeee…
Karola we, Karola wee
Karola wangu, Karola eeeh…
