Dear Mama
(An Arbantone Hip-Hop Fusion Tribute)
Intro (soft piano, smooth sax riff)
"Yo! Faceless creation, TruPlayaz Records!
This is for the queens, the warriors, the real MVPs.
Dear Mama, thank you for everything—always and forever.
Let’s vibe!"
Chorus (sung with harmonies and sax melody)
Dear Mama, oh, you gave me life,
Through the pain, the struggle, and the strife.
Mama, oh, you’re my shining star,
No matter where I go, you’re never far.
(Sax riff with piano chords and light guitar strums)
Verse 1 (emotional rap, piano in the background)
Mama, this one’s for you, from my heart to the pen,
You raised me strong, even when the world wouldn’t bend.
Nikiamka asubuhi, haukuwa na mengi,
But you gave us love, enough to fill twenty.
Unapika na kuni, lakini sahani ni safi,
You made a little stretch, ulitufanya waungwana.
No school fees, but you prayed for a way,
Hustling daily, you never let us stray.
And I remember the nights you cried,
Hiding your tears just to protect our pride.
But Mama, I saw it all, your strength was gold,
Now I’m here singing your story so bold.
Chorus (layered with sax and guitar highlights)
Dear Mama, oh, you gave me life,
Through the pain, the struggle, and the strife.
Mama, oh, you’re my shining star,
No matter where I go, you’re never far.
(Instrumental sax break with gentle guitar riffs)
Verse 2 (uplifting and rhythmic)
Mama, nakumbuka ulipanga kila senti,
Shilingi kwa shilingi, ulitengeneza ndoto zangu ziteketi.
You taught me respect, to honor and fight,
Even in darkness, you showed me the light.
When the world said "no," you whispered "yes,"
Teaching me faith in the middle of stress.
You worked two jobs, but still found time,
To pray for your children, that’s a love so divine.
Na sasa, maisha imebadilika,
Lakini upendo wako, Mama, hauna mpaka.
I’m standing tall because of your grace,
Every step I take, I see your face.
Bridge (sung softly with sax and piano in the background)
Mama, your love is my strength,
Through every trial, every length.
You’re my guide, my soul, my light,
I thank God for you every night.
(Sax and guitar instrumental bridge, building energy)
Verse 3 (inspirational with a celebratory tone)
Hii ni kwa kina mama wote, wamesimama imara,
Fighting every day bila kuacha hata mara.
You are queens, the backbone of our dreams,
Holding it together, even when it splits at the seams.
This song is for you, Mama, my foundation,
My inspiration, my motivation.
Every sacrifice you made, I carry it with pride,
You’re my hero, my strength, my guide.
(Pre-Chorus spoken over soft piano and sax)
Thank you, Mama, for every tear,
For every prayer whispered through fear.
You’re the light that keeps me shining,
Forever grateful, your love’s undying.
Chorus (amped with vocal harmonies and rich instrumentals)
Dear Mama, oh, you gave me life,
Through the pain, the struggle, and the strife.
Mama, oh, you’re my shining star,
No matter where I go, you’re never far.
(Outro with sax so
