SKEEMI

Intro....

In all my hardship when I was going through the worst, you were there for me x2, 
Whenever I sat in the dark crying too much, 
You gave me the shoulder to cry on, shoulder to cry on.

Ring... Ring... Ring...
Hello 

"Skeemi, it's me, Tlhogi... ngwana wa ga mmane."
I’ve been thinking a lot lately, remembering every battle we fought together.
When life threw punches like a heavyweight champ, 
You were the corner man, wiping my wounds, holding me up.

Wena o njaq ya masabo Skeemi,
My Brother from another mother Skeemi, 
Ka wena Thunya nka di khokha Skeemi,
Clever di ka lemala Skeemi.

The weight of the world crushed us both, but still we rise.
Remember how we’d laugh, not because it was easy, but because we refused to break? 
The struggle carved out our resilience,
While haters sharpened their knives, waiting... Ngeke ba lunge. 

But you, Skeemi, taught me the art of survival, the language of hope.
We didn’t speak in dreams, we spoke in action, in blood and sweat. 
You gave me the map when I was lost, and the courage when I had none.
Wena o njaq ya masabo, indeed... indeed. 

Do you hear me? Can you feel this connection in the silence?
Your voice echoes still, louder than any whisper of doubt in my mind.
We walked through fire, my brother, and it didn’t burn us.

Clever di ka lemala, 
But they’ll never see the scars we carry as crowns.
Haters are on us waiting for our downfall,
Ngeke ba lunge... Ngeke ba lunge. 

And I’ll carry you with me, in every victory, in every tear. 
For this bond we share is deeper than blood,
A brotherhood forged in pain, laughter, and silent prayers. 

So here’s to you, Skeemi,
Wena o njaq ya masabo Skeemi, ka wena Thunya nka di khokha Skeemi. 
In this call, in this moment, you live in me. 
And they’ll never understand... Never.
