On the fourth track of To My Mother, DAR ES SALAAM, Valeriey feels humiliated after defying their culture’s standards. They retreat back to their roots for a sense of belonging. While in the “comfort” of their home, Valeriey realizes that they couldn’t be any more different from their roots.

[Intro]
We are happy that we
Have multi instrumentalist
Jru Anthony
And Martin on keys
I bring to you guys
A little ditty
By the Mishaps
We call
Dar Es Salaam
Home
[Verse 1]
I feel in my head
I got nowhere to stay
(I got your hand
When you’re all alone)
You been so close to my side
This whole time
(I hope you staying
Real close to home)
Still remember
The day we met
I said “You hands so cold”
You said “deal with it”
Oh I
Need time to
Feel it for myself
(Feel it for yourself, I wish you listened to me more)
[Pre- Chorus]
I know it’s scary out there
You’re lifestyles a punchline
Yeah they’ll stare
I’ve seen it all
I’m just one call away
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna waste your time
But I need your guidance
To my mothers hand
I know that she’s not too far
But I knew my heart
Was full the day we met
[Verse 2]
I feel in my soul that
You want me to change
(I want your heart to align with mine)
You know in my eyes
I got something to hide
(One day you will see my side)
Still remember the
Last time I cried
You slapped my head and you told me
To feel alright
Need time to
Feel it for myself
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it’s scary out there
Yea your lifestyles a punchline
Yea they’ll stare
(You think I’m fine
But I feel everything)
I’ve seen it all I’m just one call away
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna waste your time
But I need your guidance
To my mothers hand
I know that she’s not too far
But I knew my heart
Was full the day we met
[Break]
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
We over here
The Mishaps here live
In Dar Es Salaam
I just wanna let my boys
Perform a little bit
Uh yea
[Bridge]
Yea now we ain’t got no time
Now we ain’t got nun
Now we ain’t got no time
Now we ain’t got nun
