Ayy... Timmy Joe
Mwaiseni mukwai... you still here
Timmy Joe, tell me how you made it this far
Young ones dropping like flies under the stars
We supposed to bury the old, that's how it goes
But nowadays the graveyard calling us home
Your age mates gone, scattered in the wind
But you still standing, breathing again and again
Every morning you wake up, it's a miracle sha
While we young ones dey fall, you dey shine like a star
Timmy Joe, how you reach this age?
When young blood dey die every other day
We should take elders to the grave, not the other way
But you still here, Timmy Joe, glory to His name
Timmy Joe, how you reach this age?
Blessing pan you, protection every day
Young ones falling, but you standing in praise
Timmy Joe, you're a living testimony, ayy!
Ifwe young ones, we think we invincible
But death no dey send text, it just come visceral
While old people still dey chop nshima with us
We the ones entering coffins, turning to dust
But Timmy Joe, you different, you special case
God done put His hand pan you, covering your space
Mayo! How you survive when others couldn't?
Your story need to be told, your blessings shouldn't
Be hidden, be silent, be forgotten
You're proof that some angels still working
Timmy Joe, how you reach this age?
When young blood dey die every other day
We should take elders to the grave, not the other way
But you still here, Timmy Joe, glory to His name
Timmy Joe, how you reach this age?
Blessing pan you, protection every day
Young ones falling, but you standing in praise
Timmy Joe, you're a living testimony, yoh!
Natotela... thank you for staying
Timmy Joe... boza!
Mwaiseni... you still here, ayy
