Gratitude to Mom and Dad (Remix)

Ramsey Mukupa Official, yeah

This one is for the ones who laid the ground

For the ones who held me down

Mama, Papa, listen

I sit and watch the sun go down tonight

Thinking 'bout the path and how it turned out right

You gave me everything when you had so little gold

Stories of the struggle that you never fully told

From the first step that I took upon this heavy ground

To the silence of the nights when you were always 'round

You taught me how to stand when the winds began to blow

You gave me all the roots that I needed just to grow

Oh, Mama and Papa, I thank you for the life

For guiding me through shadows and the edge of every knife

Your love is like a river that never runs dry

You are the steady earth beneath an open sky

I’m standing here because of the seeds that you have sown

The greatest kind of love that I have ever known

I remember early mornings, the light upon your face

You moved with such a rhythm, you moved with such a grace

You never asked for payment, you never asked for fame

You just wanted me to walk with honor in my name

Ramsey Mukupa, you said, let it be a light

Keep your head above the water, keep your spirit bright

It isn't about riches, it isn't about gold

It's about the kind of story that we leave behind when told

Oh, Mama and Papa, I thank you for the life

For guiding me through shadows and the edge of every knife

Your love is like a river that never runs dry

You are the steady earth beneath an open sky

I’m standing here because of the seeds that you have sown

The greatest kind of love that I have ever known

Time moves so fast, the seasons drift away

But everything you gave me is with me here today

In every single choice, in every single breath

A love that lasts a lifetime, a love that beats the death

I see myself in you, the way I hold my head

Remembering the wisdom of the words you ever said

Oh, Mama and Papa, I thank you for the life

For guiding me through shadows and the edge of every knife

Your love is like a river that never runs dry

You are the steady earth beneath an open sky

I’m standing here because of the seeds that you have sown

The greatest kind of love that I have ever known

Yeah, it’s Ramsey Mukupa Official

Just saying thank you

Mama, Papa

For everything

Yeah, we rise

Peace and love
