14. CALL ME BY MY NAME
Would you call me by my name
Quit denying my existence
Wish me away all you want
Ignore my presence
But you don’t have a say
I have arrived and I am here to stay
Would you call me by my name
I’ll tell you what’s in a name
Lovingly bestowed
The sweetest sound to these ears of mine
Don’t you seem so dismayed
Oh yes, I too, am somebody’s Babe
Tell me what’s the use desecrating my worth?
None other than you can set both you and I free, don’t you know?
It’s simple and I’ll show you how
Spit that bitter pill out
Open your mind to the notion I may not be that bad
Nna ke a dula mo!
Would you call me by my name
I carry it with no shame
Talk down to me
Undermine my humble contribution
But here you can’t dictate
To those you love who they should leave or take
Why can you not say my name?
The sight of me fills you with disdain
A mirror you aren’t
From the upper crust of society
This face you’d love to hate
Is here for good you might as well eat cake
Chorus
Nna ke a dula mo
Ke a dula mo
Ga go mo ke yang, ke a bloma mo
Ke a bloma mo
Nna ke a dula mo, ke a dula mo
Ga go mo ke yang, ke a dula mo
Chorus
