•This is for you umma (mom), you
always hold me with your dua (prayers)
when am bout to fall,

the only woman who will be
in worry when I never call,
She the woman who'll stand,
in the cold hanging up the cloth
I'll wear,
standing near the stove cooking
a buk of food we'll swallow.
I love u ya umma I'll never put
any one above u (except for the creator).
