Lyrics: Mzimazisi Mpofu/Levi Nkrumah
Music: William Stephanus
Going out to see my Aunty Deloris
She got the sweetest orange trees in the county
We might take a little walk through the forest
Maybe drag a lil’ jeep with my cousins
Man I miss them good days
Man then straight up old hood days
Man I miss them good days
Man them straight up old hood days yeah
Now we siting round the family tree
What else do I need
We’re having a feast
Let’s celebrate, it’s good to see all the kids grow
We miss the elders we let go
Pray for the ones that could not show
I ain’t tripping I’m tryna eat more
Oh man there goes my uncle Seymour
I ‘on think that he can see more
I truly wouldn’t be the man that I am
Without the family they guide me like they holding my hand
Through the calamity
They always hold your man down like gravity
All the times I messed up
They never stayed mad at me
When I was younger mixing carrots with the celery
Papas cooking fufu
Mamas on the balcony, homies from school round two we by the apple tree
Bound to be the good day my older bro surrounding me
Nothing marv would say
There’s no doubt in me
Happy and I’m proud to be
I love ‘em so powerfully
I bet y’all didn’t know that y’all empower me
I dedicate every song to you I hope you proud of me
And when I’m feeling down
You bring me back round
In me and I can see it now
You always been around
You got me feeling the chemicals in brains do
I owe it all to you so consider this my thank you
