Dear African Fathers ft. Soko Matemai Lyrics

Hello sir with no disrespect

Just met your son he's a bit of a dick

Can't cry and he's proud of it

Can't express emotion cos you thought him how to bottle it

He hates conflict, saw them break up twice

One side chick and two wives

Three different sets of kids and you wonder why

Marriage was never something that he wanted in his life

I hate to be the one to comment on your relationship (Woo)

If she was happy she wouldn't have the bitterness (Woo)

Wouldn't be teaching avoidance to your kids

Bad parenting will affect their development

Attachment theory can teach us better

We reflect the love that we see from our elders

Don't just be a provider

Be a protector, a lover, befriend your partner

Indava Mudara (mudara)

Chiiko? Chiiko? (Aizve)

Chiiko? Chiiko?

Vana ava mudara-ah-ah-ah (Ay, ay,ay)

Varatidze rudo-rudo

Rudo, rudo

Hello sir, with all disrespect

I'm in love with your daughter but she's kind of a bitch

Independent but dependent on a man's word

Don't believe it but knows tradition put's man first

More angry than beautiful

More loud than intellectual

Festishsized, overly sexualized

On her knees when it's spiritual

Or familial like an uncle

That you trust too much

Just ignore his touch

Family don't talk about it, just sweep it under the rug

Now she can't even stand a hug

From a stranger

Cos it feels like too much, it brings up trauma

How could you neglect to protect your daughter

Instead, you just guard your Ego

How far you will go

She will creep on the low

Searching for daddy in other people

Indava Mudara (Mudara)

Chiiko? Chiiko? (Aizve)

Chiiko? Chiiko?

Vana ava mudara-ah-ah-ah (Ay, ay,ay)

Varatidze rudo-rudo

Rudo, rudo

I just wanna talk to the man

Maybe you will understand

Even though you want what's best for your kids

It really doesn't mean kuti havana ma plans

Vanotoriwo nema dreams and ambitions

But they still need your support and assistance

Kwete mari bedzi

Emotionally, chimbozamai ku reducer distance

Muve pedyo nevana

Taurai navo muzive zviri muhana

Don't choose mukomana over musikana

Kana the opposite, vakangofanana

Tese hatingaite ma lawyer, ma doctor

Kune vano actor nevanotamba soccer

Children are the future, but the time is now

Vapei mukana they will make you proud

Wow
