I'm addicted to this song:
LYRICS:
Verse I:
Pearl of my life, after God is who I adore,
We escaped war, and ran from poor,
Hooyo gave me life to live for,
She opened doors, and closed my pain,
Told me anything, I want obtain,
That the life we live is just a game,
And I got to learn how to be a champ,
Notice how say, yes Mom I can,
Remember those nights, when we laid awake
On the floor, with no bed, and no blanket,
Shivering from the cold, but you kept me warm,
Had me on your chest, and around your arms,
Oh momma, swear I felt so safe,
And I would embrace, and touch your face,
Wipe your tears off, cause you’re going to be okay,
And we held each other, all night we prayed,
Woke up in the morning, another day of mourning,
We hear the gunshots, but we got to keep on moving,
Got to keep on moving!
Hook:
She was all I’ve known, when I was sad,
She gave me hope and made me glad,
Hooyo was there, when they turned on me,
She made me smile, and made me happy,
Kind of woman that can safe the world,
Made me believe I can be stronger,
Taught me how to walk, and how to talk,
She gave me all I want, she gave me love,
Verse:
You he speaks with knowledge, and knew me too well,
Momma picked me up, whenever I fell,
Hooyo bled and ached, so that she can feed,
Never spoke back, we scared to get beat,
She would sing me, “huuwa huuwa” (Lullaby)
And instantly, waan ku farxaa, (I get happy)
And I would smile, tell her please repeat,
And by the end of that, I would go to sleep,
She’s my friend, and everything I have,
I tell her my secrets, with her share,
Oh I love her, swear I can’t lie,
Can’t convey, how much I care inside,
When Daddy died, I just couldn’t cry,
Couldn’t understand why he had to say goodbye,
I was a child, but now I know why,
But you Momma, you stood by our side,
Even though our life was very hard ride,
I write these rhymes, for you to realize,
Open your eyes, so someday,
We’ll be in paradise,
