Papa's Memory

Yoh, ayy

Papa, natotela

Your spirit lives on, forever

Wake up in the morning, see your face in the light

Every step I'm taking, guided by your might

You taught me how to stand tall, how to hold my head high

Now I'm walking this road, with you by my side

Mayo, the memories won't fade away

Your words echo in my heart every single day

From Lusaka streets to the copper belt dreams

You built something greater than what it seems

Mwaiseni, mukwai, you were my guide

The strongest man I've ever known, my pride

Now the tears fall down, but I won't break

Because your legacy is what I make

Papa's memory lives forever in my soul

Your love was always my anchor, my goal

I see you in the sunrise, in every breath I take

Papa's memory, for your blessed sake

Yoh, ayy, Papa's memory

Lives forever, eternally

Yoh, ayy, Papa's memory

You're the strength inside of me

They say time heals everything, but time can't erase

The warmth of your embrace, the wisdom in your face

You gave me tools to survive, you gave me pride

Now I carry your vision far and wide

Ifwe remember, we keep you alive

In every choice, in every stride

The pain is real, but so is the grace

I feel your presence in this sacred place

Mayo, I'm grateful for the years we had

For the lessons learned, through joy and sad

Your spirit guides me, helps me find my way

I honor you Papa, every single day

Papa's memory lives forever in my soul

Your love was always my anchor, my goal

I see you in the sunrise, in every breath I take

Papa's memory, for your blessed sake

Yoh, ayy, Papa's memory

Lives forever, eternally

Yoh, ayy, Papa's memory

You're the strength inside of me

When the darkness comes, I hear your voice

Telling me to stand strong, telling me rejoice

Your legacy flows through my veins

In sunshine bright and in pouring rains

I will live the life you dreamed for me

I will set our family legacy free

Papa, natotela, thank you for it all

I promise I will answer when you call

So here's to the man who showed me love

Sent his blessings from the heavens above

I'll carry your name with honor and grace

See your reflection in my face

Mwaiseni, mukwai, rest now in peace

Your memory's my strength, my release

The bond we share will never die

Papa's memory reaches the sky

Mayo, I'm living for us both

Keeping sacred every oath

Your wisdom is my North Star bright

Guiding me through day and night

Yoh, ayy, Papa's memory

Forever, eternally

Papa's memory

In my heart, you'll always be

Natotela, Papa

Yoh, ayy

Papa's memory lives on
