This song is for my beloved grandma, Nabita Akalingana.
Sunday morning, smell of pap and stew
Grandma sitting there, telling stories true
Her hands so gentle, raised me from a youth
Every lesson learned, came straight from you
Sho, those days were golden, memories so sweet
She taught me how to stand on my own feet
Through the struggle and the pain, she never left my side
Bo Kuku baka, you're my forever pride
Bo Kuku baka, you're my shining light
Through the darkest days, you made it right
Your love runs deep, deeper than the sea
Oh Nabita Akalingana, you mean everything to me
Asambe together, you and me
Kuku na milata, my family
She prays for me daily, candles burning bright
Her wisdom guides me through the coldest night
Eish, the sacrifices that she made for us
In her eyes I see the strength, the trust
Sharp sharp, she tells me, keep your head up high
Don't let the world tell you that you can't fly
Every word she speaks is pure gold to me
Mucembele waka, you set my spirit free
Bo Ma Mubiana, you're my shining light
Through the darkest days, you made it right
Your love runs deep, deeper than the sea
Bo Ma Mubiana, you mean everything to me
Asambe together, you and me
Gogo wami, my family
Awa Kuku, this one's forever yours
Your love keeps opening doors
