Ayy, yoh!
To the hero of the family, MJ Henry JR Mateta!
We see you, Daddy.
Lwaitumela, mukwai!
You walked through the fire where we could not stand
Muhatile mwa mulilo with a strong, loving hand
Through the hunger and the struggles, through the heavy rain
You carried the Mateta family, you took all the pain
Ooh, Tate, you fought like a commando in the night
Just to give your children a future so bright
We love you, Dada! (We love you, Dada!)
MJ Henry JR Mateta, you are our hero today!
We love you, Dada! (We love you, Dada!)
From Miriam, Joshua, Grace, and Johns we say,
Florence and Abel, we are standing by your side
Tate, lwaitumela, you are our joy and our pride!
Open doors from God, we declare it in His name
No more matata, no more sickness, no more shame
Soko Mateta, the pathfinder of our way
Bene Kanjaya, all the family shout and pray
You made the sacrifices so we would not fall
Now the blessings of Jesus will answer your call!
We love you, Dada! (We love you, Dada!)
MJ Henry JR Mateta, you are our hero today!
We love you, Dada! (We love you, Dada!)
From Miriam, Joshua, Grace, and Johns we say,

Aunty Miriam Soko, we see you!
God bless you, Daddy Soko Mateta.
Lwaitumela, mukwai.
Yeah, we love you, Dada.
