about

Habari Gani means "What's the News"
On the 3rd day we reply UJIMA meaning "COLLECTIVE WORK & RESPONSIBILITY" We light a red candle because it takes great physical effort to build and maintain our community together, addressing our brothers' and sisters' problems along with our own, and solving them together.

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 3rd day's Ujima,
see we could, mix-Umoja
wit Kujichagulia,
'n be more, than dreamers

yah i'm a build wit you, you'll build wit me
somethin worthy, of sustainibility
that turn me, just from dreamin' individually
to ownin' somethin' you 'n me could really see

thanks to the roots of all of our divinity
we grow da family tree from just a little seed
to all the branches wit da fruit within the leaves
wit collective work n responsibility

from my ancestors down to mini me's
from my ancestors down to mini me's
we grow da family tree from just a little seed
wit collective work n responsibility
