This is a message for everybody
You, your bredren, your sistren and your family
The word Kwanzaa means First Fruits in Kiswahili
It’s a special time for you and for me
It’s from December 26th to the first of January
But we have to live it out daily-lee-lee-lee (Everyday)
A time to reaffirm our values and our identity
And fight the negative results of slavery
It’s start was 1966 by Maulana Karenga
I tell you that ya man he is a professor
He teaches Black studies inna California
The roots of Kwanzaa come from Afrika
We the Afrikans living in the diaspora
We pull upon this energy so we can prosper
That’s the Seven Principles called the Nguzo Saba

Principle number 1 - UMOJA
Principle number 2 - KUJICHAGULIA
Principle number 3 - UJIMA
Principle number 4 - UJAMAA
Principle number 5 - That’s the one NIA

You know that Kwanzaa (Kwanzaa)
Is for the people (People)
So let us tell you (Tell you)
About the symbols (Symbols)

(Repeat)
The place mat is the MKEKA
The candle holder is the KINARA
The 7 candles, the MISHUMAA SABA
The Unity cup, KIKOMOBE CHA UMOJA
The gifts that that we give are the ZAWADI
The corn is the children, it’s the MUHINDI
The fruits and veggies are the MAZAO
The BENDERA YA TAIFA are the colors that flow
Before the 7 days of celebration are through
We all have a feast called the KARAMU

Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa
