[Intro]
Fireworks in the air, I’m counting eighteen
Brayoo on the mic, this moment’s supreme
[Verse 1]
Mama, thank you, Baba, thank you
From the ground to here, you carried me through
Issa, Lucky, Brighton, Bright, Lorris too
Julie Cute, Sahani, a family crew
We share one table, one dream we pursue
Today’s my birthday, but it’s joy for us all to view
You believed in me high, now I’m standing true
Eighteen on the flag, I’m waving it through
[Pre-Chorus]
Code of life in our hands, love and hustle collide
Family first, we ride this tide
Heshima and hearts open wide
Brayoo’s grown, but I’m still on your side
[Chorus]
HBD to me, we shout it loud and free
18 years brimming with possibility
Forever grateful for this family tree
Brayoo rising, where I’m meant to be
[Verse 2]
Back home by the shore, OG-level crew
Friends on the line saying, “Brayoo, congrats, you grew”
No drama, just thanks to the who and the why
God’s done big things, and I see them in the sky
Our beach witnesses, waves echoing true
Family is everything, that’s the cue
Eighteen more ahead, keep pushing through
[Bridge]
Code ya maisha, kushukuru wazazi, kupenda ndugu
So much love that I can barely contain the view
Over (echo), this love I renew
To my entire crew: NAWAPENDA, it’s forever true
[Chorus]
HBD to me, we shout it loud and free
18 years brimming with possibility
Forever grateful for this family tree
Brayoo rising, where I’m meant to be
[Verse 3]
Caption ready, for the status to glow
But the real post is the love that we show
From chini to eighteen, strong and true
A code of life: family first, through and through
[Outro]
So here’s to the journey that’s just begun
To parents, siblings, and everyone
We celebrate now, we celebrate done
Brayoo at eighteen, brighter than the sun
