Inspired by the self-proclaimed prophet Bushiri and "the Man", the song is just a reminder of how aware we should be.

lyrics

Don’t be blind
……………………
This kind of song usually starts with “one day I was walking in the street”, but to tell you the truth, I was sitting at home starring at my Facebook screen and then this guy pops up on my timeline
I think they call him, uh, Bushiri
He had Namibians ‘liking’ him and eating right out of the palm of his hands

Now I’ve got one question,
When did Namibians become so damn gullible?
We just be the land of the strong
Or was I wrong?
No, never

Chorus
Don’t be blind
Unlock your mind
We filling stadiums, but I’m sorry we got to be filling the mind
(x2)
Filling the mind (x4)

Now, he’s not the only one that has us fooled
We got people in our own back yard
Asking us who, who, who, who?
Who took the money?
Who is corrupt?
Who’s been sneaking in our back yard?
And riding on our rights while our bodies they are policing
How did we become so distant from one another?
Doesn’t our one-love count?
Look at your brother and tell him “you gotta listen up. I got a message for you”.

Chorus
(sound play)
