about

Habari Gani means "What's the News?"
on the 5th day we say NIA, for "Purpose"
We light our first green candle, because this is the first step of realizing our previous struggles can enable us to make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

lyrics

Every day of Kwanzaa we puttin the mishumaa
right into da kinara, dat rep nguzo sabaa.
On top of da mkeka Habari Gani, say what?
Habari Gani, say what's the priniciple today bruh?

The fifth day is Nia,
No conflicts tryna see ya
wit' Ujamaa from Ujima,
cause our pathway is clear,

Benefittin' YOU is benefitin ME plus,
benefitin' our community to
return all of our peeps to bein'
the leaders who we use to be,

from thinking that we, came from slavery
to knowin' that we, made from bravery
We gettin' our children to listen, rebuildin' tradition
Don't let 'em sit in front da television,

Where they missin' livin' but they think they winnin'
lift 'em on the shoulders of our elder's wisdom
When they gettin' nervous, let em get the vision
Don't forget da purpose, make a BETTER difference!
