Emotions - Yalu

Mama you taught me how to pray and say the word amen

And that a woman is the only weakness of a man

It took sometime for me to understand

I finally did when you cheated on the only man I’ve ever called my father

Would have seen his love bleed but covering my lips with intentions of keeping

the family together

Times change and nothing lasts forever

I was growing up and slowly changing like the whether

Introduced to blowing trees as I was pushing my career

When you’re stressed about the future it is had to see the rear

Caught up in the world of overcoming all the fear

And spending every night drinking bear with a peer

My minds getting blurred but my vision still clear

I’m heading to my destiny and I can see it near

Now I realise that if the bond breaks our strings will never sheer

I keep my head up looking at the chandelier hoping that I see ya

Muya my son, you’re grown up now and I know that in everything you do starting

now, you will be the man that you always wanted to be because I have faith in

you and you have never brought me down and I know that you’re going to go far.

Do not listen to what people say just do you and be you and i always have your

back my son. You are the joy in my life and the sunshine in my life and I know

you will rise up and shine and be the star you’ve always wanted.

My muya, my ray, my simocho, one love from mum

Mum I really need to see ya

I took the fast lane and I am never dropping gear

Lost my trust for everybody make you feel like you nobody when you pull up in a

cadi then they start up acting dear, can I ask for one thing

You have heard you have seen but still you do not believe mayo mumpale.

This is my life and my journey I aware that I must succeed mayo mumpale.

Sitinga nkale ma teacher bonse iyayi. Naine ni music yanga amayi.

Mayo mumpale mayo mumpale mayo mumpale ine

Hard working woman mu kakwe ngu lilofwa

Ali ah bana abalo bachintomfwa

Long days sleepless nights balinga kuli balupwa

I witnessed the queens tears dripping off her eyes

And I strongly feel like you the reason why I hated you

Though we talk a little it’s not clear if I still do

Every after show was an attempt to kick me out that made it hard for me to feel

for you

Never had the time to hear me out I’m feeling slowed by your actions gripping

on my shoes

I’m confused, do you wanna see me win or see me lose

Your appreciated deeds are very few

Held on to this grudge for long I gotta let it loose

You have heard you have seen but still you do not believe mayo mumpale.

This is my life and my journey I aware that I must succeed mayo mumpale.

Sitinga nkale ma teacher bonse iyayi. Naine ni music yanga amayi.

Mayo mumpale mayo mumpale mayo mumpale ine

What you raise is a king, you raised me
