Behind the scenes of Hard Times

Before we get to lyrics , let me just say this song is AWESOME. I upendo it with all my heart<3.


"The Only Exception"

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own moyo and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the siku that I promised
I'd never sing of upendo if it does not exist.

But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that upendo never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make...
