It's that time so i bust a rhyme to define, how we celebrate and shine, after the grind
At my peoples I holla, cause it's holla day time
Aint no stoppin us now, we take a vow, to come to the Karamu
and stay a little while
to relax with the fam
and have a feast
It's been a good year cause we conquered the beast
We conquered all fear now we chillin in peace
ready for the new year
it's time for resolutions
soulutions
afromations
visualizations
We unite as one, in supreme elevation
Praisin the lord for divine creation

Happy Kwanzaa

It's Kwanzaa, clap your hands and through em up
Let your feet tap, come to the feast and kick back
You might even get the itis, and take a nap
But it's alright fam, cause its all about fam
You'll ressurect when we pray and hold hands
cause yo, we light a candle, every day
and pray that we always play this way.
and stay this way and praise this day
So keep the Kwanzaa Swagga, everyday
and find yourself in the kwanzaa spot today

Happy Kwanzaa

It's Kwanzaa, thanks to Maulana Karenga
For keeping the connect with Africa
The first fruits, in Kwazulu and Swahili
It reminds me of the color purple
with Miss Cieli,
and her children
It's glam to have fam, in the building
We reconnect---
With love in effect
It don't matter your religion
It's Africa we rep
To the Ancestors, We pour libations
and give thanks for the future generations

It's Kwanzaa
