Message to my kids. Hear me now, my daughter.
Listen to your father, Grace. Mayo, listen close.
I love you so much, my baby girl Grace
In this wide world, you must find your own place
But look around you, some people are wild
Like hungry animals chasing my child
They want to eat your future, they want to take your peace
But your education is power, it will never cease
Take care of your siblings, hold them close to your chest
Plan for tomorrow, ignore all the rest.
Oh Grace, my baby, protect your beautiful mind
Don't let them steal the treasure you're going to find
These boys come with sweet talk, full of empty dreams
But all their plans are boza, tearing at the seams
Education is power, let it be your guide
Your father's love is always right by your side.
I know I am strict, but it's only to shield
From the wolves that are waiting out in the field
Even me, to your mother, I was once a golden beast
But now I am a father, protecting this feast
They promise you heaven when they have no home
Protect your tomorrow, don't walk it alone
Mayo, keep your head high, stand up straight and tall
With knowledge and wisdom, you never will fall.
Oh Grace, my baby, protect your beautiful mind
Don't let them steal the treasure you're going to find
These boys come with sweet talk, full of empty dreams
But all their plans are boza, tearing at the seams
Education is power, let it be your guide
Your father's love is always right by your side.
Plan for tomorrow, my Grace.
Education is power, mukwai.
I love you, my girl.
Yoh, stay strong.yo daddy one Maposa
