[Intro]
Yeah
Erick Boyce
Seven straight outer Kiwenda
Faith, this one for you
[Verse 1]
Met her by the stage, loud speakers shaking
Braids in the wind, whole crowd vibrating
Said, "Name?" she laughed, "They call me Faith"
Heart skipped time like the DJ break
Boda-boda rides, dust on my sneakers
Sharing one soda, talking our secrets
Mama said, "Son, keep your grind tight"
She just text, "Babe, you reach home alright?"
[Chorus]
Faith from Kiwenda, you my only agenda (yeah)
Every pray, every day, girl I remember
When the world feel heavy, you make it feel light
When I fall off track, you put me back right
Faith from Kiwenda, na sikia nikipenda
You the peace in the noise, my defender
From the first "hello" till the day I surrender
All my love, all my life to my Faith from Kiwenda
[Verse 2]
You in my hoodie, feet on my flip-flops
Laughing at the council bus when it tip-top
Counting these coins, planning big plots
"One day, babe, we gon' own big spots"
She mark my book, say, "Finish that chapter"
Dreams on the wall, we draw 'em with marker
If I miss calls, she ring my brother
Say, "Tell Erick I’m still here, don’t bother"
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If the lights cut, if the rent late
You still dance in the dark, say, "We still straight"
If the rain pour hard on the iron sheet roof
You just sing off beat, but that’s my truth (yeah)
[Chorus]
