How are we going to survive (Eeh yah how are we going to survive?)*2
Verse 1
She is my beautiful girl whom we were so much in love. I adored her indeed,
It came a day that we parted ways through some unexplainable circumstances
After one year she re-appeared. She got into my house shedding tears
She didn’t hesitate to narrate her story of what turned out during the separation period
Adding that she indulged in decadent behaviours; changing men - one after another
Today she went to test her HIV/AIDS status only to learn that results were Positive
It’s so painful and tormenting but I swear to take care of her without stigmatization
where did you come from you deadly monster (HIV/AIDS) who has no cure
Chorus
How are we going to survive (how?), How are we going to survive (how?)
How are we going to survive (Eeh yah how are we going to survive?)*2
Verse 2
He was my uncle who was a beloved of many people and the whole family at large
It’s unbelievable that he is no more. Since he got sick he was mentally disturbed.
He turned skinny. He developed unending coughing.
We moved up and down and all over seeking for his medication
Unfortunately he is all gone; regrettably it was this deadly monster
where did you come from you deadly monster (HIV/AIDS) who has no cure
Chorus
How are we going to survive (how?), How are we going to survive (how?)
How are we going to survive (Eeh yah how are we going to survive?)*2
Verse 3
Extra marital affairs is dangerous (be faithful to your partner)
Please my friend it’s vital (to get tested and know your HIV status)
If you are already a victim (do not panic just have a proper diet)
Oh our heavenly father save us (and help us to stay away from extra marital affairs)
Chorus
How are we going to survive (how?), How are we going to survive (how?)
How are we going to survive (Eeh yah how are we going to survive?)*2
Even though I love you so much my babe tell me how I we going to survive!!!
Samtaar!!!!!
