yasminah - hooyo lyrics

[verse 1]
pearl of my life, after god is who i adore
we escaped war and ran from poor
hooyo gave me life to live for
she opened doors and closed my pain
told me anything i want obtain
that the life we live is just a game
and i got to learn how to be a champ
notice how i say yes mom i can
remember those nights when we laid awake
on the floor with no bed and no blanket
shivering from the cold but you kept me warm
had me on your chest and around your arms
oh mama, swear i felt so safe
and i would embrace and touch your face
wipe your tears off cause you’re gonna be okay
and we held each other, all night we prayed
woke up in the morning, another day of mourning
we hear the gunshots but we got to keep on moving
got to keep on moving

[chorus]
she was all i’ve known when i was sad
she gave me hope and made me glad
hooyo was there when they turned on me
she made me smile and made me happy
kind of woman that can save the world
made me believe i can be stronger
taught me how to walk and how to talk
she gave me all i want, she gave me love

[verse 2]
you speak with knowledge and know me too well
mama picked me up whenever i fell
hooyo bled and ached so that she can feed
never spoke back, we scared to get beat
she would sing me “huwwa, huwwa”
and instantly wann ku farxaa
and i would smile, tell her please repeat
and by the end of that i would go to sleep
she’s my friend and everything i have
i tell her my secrets with her i share
oh i love her, i swear i can’t lie
can’t convey how much i care inside
when daddy died i just couldn’t cry
couldn’t understand why he had to say goodbye
i was a child but now i know why
but you mama, you stood by our side
even though our life was very hard ride
i write these rhymes for you to realize
and open your eyes so someday
we’ll be in paradise
