I'm in jail in here, I'm in jail out there,
Bars all around me and the warden to protect me
From your mace and grenades.

Kenya President Uhuru Kenyatta paid tribute to Masekela in a series of tweets that showed a picture of the two walking together. Kenyatta wrote of Masekela: "His music then was the music of a free Africa: full of anger at injustice; confident that one day these injustices would be overcome."
