Aight, so dis Kenyan runner, Sabastian Sawe, he be gettin' the presidential treatment from Ruto after runnin' some marathon. Cool for him, for real. But lemme keep it 100, what dis mean for the rest of us out here?

Dis 'historic marathon' he ran? Good for him. But out here on the block, we still hustlin' just to eat. So while they celebratin' in State House, we still tryna survive.

Ruto givin' him props is cool and all, but where the investments at for the youth? Where the jobs at? Where the opportunities at? Don't just give us the show, give us the substance.

Historically, they always do dis. Throw us a bone, make us feel good for a minute, then back to the same old struggle. It's like the government thinkin' a trophy gonna fix everything.

Sawe probably worked hard, no doubt. But he also got the right resources, the right support. What about the kids out here wit just as much talent, but no way to show it?

Some smart folks be sayin' dis is just a distraction. Keep us focused on the feel-good story while they still playin' games with our money. Word.

So, what it all mean? It mean Sawe eatin' good tonight. But tomorrow, we still gotta grind. The game stay the same.

Shout out to Sawe, do your thing, fam. But don't forget where you came from. Use dat platform to speak up for the people, for the youth.

While dey poppin' bottles in State House, we gotta worry 'bout rent. But at least we got a marathon runner to look up to, right? Smh.

Historically, these celebrations be short-lived. They don't change nothin' on the ground. We still gotta fight for our own.

Sawe's win is somethin' to be proud of, yeah. But it ain't gonna pay the bills. We need real change, not just a parade.

Dey need to put dat money where they mouth is and invest in the community. Sawe run a marathon, but we runnin' a marathon every day just to survive.
