Kamwenge Roots Rising (Remix)
A song made by twijukyehudson
One love... one life... Kamwenge child, rise up... Ayee, banange!
Born in ‘93, under Kamwenge sun so bright
Never knew my father, Jah took him in the night
Mama held my hand, but when I turned eight
She went to Zion, left me at destiny’s gate
Uncles gave me shelter, but life was hard, oh yeah
Belly empty, eyes full, still I shed no tear
From Kamwenge roots, I rise, I rise, yeah!
Orphan child, but Jah never leave my side
Biguli school gate close, but hope never die
Mr. Robert gone, but Mr. Jimmy help me fly
Ronald, Benson, we stand together, strong
Books couldn’t hold us, but faith carry us along
Kamwenge roots run deep, yeah, we nah go fall
Hustle now my classroom, Jah guide me through it all
Mr. Katumire Elias, mercy in his hand
Orphanage free school, he make a way for man
2013, forms we shoulda sign that day
Deputy Robert pass on, darkness block the way
Expelled we were, but Jah said “no, not yet”
Called Mr. Muheereza Jimmy, he nah forget
Mpanga doors open, S.4 we complete
Three brethren, one dream, stand strong on we feet
School far I never reach, but wisdom nah school alone
Every hustle, every sweat, Jah make it stepping stone
Mama look down from heaven, Daddy watch up high
Kamwenge soil is my blood, but Jah is my sky, hear me now!
So from Kamwenge roots, I rise, I rise, yeah!
Pain to purpose, tears turn to prize
Webale Mr. Katumire, webale Mr. Jimmy too
Rest in peace Robert, this song is for you
Ronald, Benson, we a survivor breed
Orphan to king, planted by Jah’s seed
Jah guide always... Kamwenge strong... One love... Bless up!
