11. Kutika (Prisoner's Dance) Prod by Studio Barka
(Lyrics)
 
[Refrain]
(twice)
Lock up the thieves, lock them up!
The people demand prosecution
Lock up the thieves, lock them up!
They're getting ready to flee  
(fourfold)
The whole country is full of thieves of public funds  
They're shameless, that's why I denounce them  
(twice)
People don't know where to found information
Because access to information is locked  
(once)
There's no information on TV  
No information on the radio either
 
[1st Verse]
Heuuu! They've emptied all the state's coffers
We warned them
they turned a deaf ear
Now it's time to denounce them
 
And when I speak or sing to denounce them
They'll all start to tremble
When they've turned the public treasury
Into a private fund
And the civil service into a den of financial criminals
 
Corruption has become a fundamental value
To acquire assets abroad
From Denis Sassou Nguesso to his grandchildren
It's the same practice of embezzling public funds
They get richer while the State gets poorer
This is not surprising in a country where
The head of state behaves
like a mafia gang leader !
 
Young activist beware
Everything I denounce here is real  
Young activist pay attention
These economic criminals are dangerous
 
I hit them where it hurts
For the people to wake up  
We run campaigns
To stop the theft of our money
 
But these people continue to re-offend  
In economic crimes  
Now that I'm singing
They'll end up in a cold sweat
[Hook 1]
They say that the Congo  
Is a country under their grip
 They rule by violence
And no one can stop them from stealing
That's why they do it without hiding!  
 
 [Refrain]
 
[Hook 2]
One, two, three raaaggghhhaaa!
You plunderers of the state coffers
Know that one day the Congolese people will rise up
And you'll wake up with a start
Without understanding a thing  
You'll rot in prison...
 You'll dance the Kutika (Prisoner) dance (twice)
Koutika, Koutika, raaaggghhhaaa!
Koutika, Koutika, raaaggghhhaaa!
