K the Chosen, Soko Matemai - Dear African Fathers 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
