Yeah,
yeah
Life
is
a
teacher,
but
experience
is
the
school
Looking
back
at
the
road
I
traveled
Everything
happens
for
a
reason
Listen
Before
my
eyes
could
see
the
light
of
day
My
father
turned
and
walked
the
other
way
He
didn't
know
the
son
he
left
behind
He
didn't
know
the
son
he
left
behind
He
had
a
vision
that
clouded
up
his
mind
He
left
my
mother
standing
on
her
own
Left
us
to
face
the
world
all
alone
But
I
am
standing
here
to
tell
the
tale
Of
how
we
rose
and
how
we
didn't
fail
I
thank
my
mother,
I
thank
my
grandparents
too
For
every
single
thing
you
helped
us
to
do
Bakabwe,
bana
kabwe,
may
God
bless
your
soul
You
kept
me
steady
and
you
kept
me
whole
Though
daddy
rejected
me,
you
kept
the
flame
Mr.
Tabatasha,
that
is
my
name
I
remember
the
hunger,
I
remember
the
cold
I
remember
stories
that
were
never
told
Growing
up
in
the
village,
no
pride
in
my
heart
Just
learning
how
to
play
a
better
part
People
see
the
clothes
and
see
the
shine
today
They
don't
know
the
price
I
had
to
pay
But
my
mother
is
my
queen,
she
is
my
light
She
guided
me
through
the
darkest
night
I
thank
my
mother,
I
thank
my
grandparents
too
For
every
single
thing
you
helped
us
to
do
Bakabwe,
bana
kabwe,
may
God
bless
your
soul
You
kept
me
steady
and
you
kept
me
whole
Though
daddy
rejected
me,
you
kept
the
flame
Mr.
Tabatasha,
that
is
my
name
because
tata
katongo
alifililwe
uku
tasha
I
remember
the
day
I
was
in
police
custody
Not
a
single
relative
came
to
stand
with
me
Only
you,
my
mother,
you
came
through
the
door
With
my
little
brother,
asking
for
more
You
left
my
sister
to
bring
me
some
peace
Nalilile

Mercy,
Nasilele
okay
mary,
I
hope
you
hear
this
song
Be
wise
to
my
mother,
where
you
belong
Treat
her
with
honor,
treat
her
with
grace
She
put
the
smile
upon
my
face
I've
seen
the
struggle,
I've
felt
the
pain
I've
walked
through
fire
and
I've
walked
through
rain
But
I'm
still
here,
steady
and
strong
Right
where
I
know
that
I
belong
I
thank
my
mother,
I
thank
my
grandparents
too
For
every
single
thing
you
helped
us
to
do
Bakabwe,
bana
kabwe,
may
God
bless
your
soul
one
day
it
shall
be
from
kachito
to
the
states 🙏
You
kept
me
steady
and
you
kept
me
whole

Tabatasha,
