Verse 1: [J-Leo]
Mum you held me 12 months
Always close to you
Every day was an adventure
Every time spent with you
In all the problems i had
I could always count on you
For your advice
And your beautiful smile
Life ain't easy
But you always pushed me
To the limits and boundaries
That i couldn't achieve
You helped me grow
So every girl would see me as a man
And keep the joy in my life
So i could never see the day
Tears roll down you eyes
Dad i don't know where to start
See you became my role model
A king to my eyes
A master piece with no price
You've shown me directions
I needed to take
In times of deceptions
You've stayed ahead of me
And shown me the way
From a toddler to young adult
You were always there
Close to me
Not letting any harm come to me
I have no better words but to say
Mum and dad your the best parents
God could ever give me
So i am here making this song just to say
Ndabakunga n'umutima wanjye wose
Chorus:
Ubaha So na Nyoko
Bana mujye mwumvira ababyeyi banyu
Kujyirango mubone amahoro maze murame
Muri iyi si nicyo cyo gukora
Verse 2: [Double J]
Mom, I can't imagine the pain you endured carrying me
A whole nine months
Part of a lifetime of pain
You loved me before I was born
Cared for me before I was torn
From your insides, I was cherished
Despite my crying and disturbing behavior
Your tears and smile wrapped me without blemish
How can I ever repay the suffering
All the rebellious acts I demonstrated
Took me close to your heart before I started running
Taught me to see the world in your eyes
Encouraged me to believe in myself when I was down. More precious to me than silver and gold
Gave me the morals in which I bathe myself each morning
Dad, without you I wouldn't be be here
There is so much I can say with just words
You punished my arrogant self
From pain with cain
All for me to be maintained and unstained in this evil world
Strengthen me and showed me the path to follow
Chorus:
Ubaha So na Nyoko
Bana mujye mwumvira ababyeyi banyu
Kujyirango mubone amahoro maze murame
Muri iyi si nicyo cyo gukora
