SI UJINGA (I Learn Different)

🎶 Verse 1

Every morning naanza hivi
Looking at words but it’s hard for me
Letters moving, I cannot see
Why it’s easy for them, not me

At the table najaribu
Mama says, “focus kidogo tu”
Ninajaribu, I promise you
But my world feels different, it’s true

🎶 Pre-Chorus

They don’t see what’s in my mind
Wanadhani I’m always behind
But I’m trying every time
In a way that’s mine

🎤 Chorus

Si ujinga, si uvivu
I’m just learning tofauti kidogo
Usinihukumu, nione vizuri
There’s a light inside of me

Si ujinga, si uvivu
I just need you to understand me
Different doesn’t mean I’m weak
This is how I see

🎶 Verse 2

Classroom voices zinacheka
Every mistake wanacheka
Teacher calls me, moyo unapiga
Reading words zinanikataa

Break time na smile kidogo
Lakini ndani I feel so low
Kila siku ni vita, you don’t know
But I keep going, pole pole though

🎶 Pre-Chorus

If you walked inside my shoes
Ungejua what I go through
I don’t want to always lose
I’m just trying to break through

🎤 Chorus

Si ujinga, si uvivu
I’m just learning tofauti kidogo
Usinihukumu, nione vizuri
There’s a light inside of me

Si ujinga, si uvivu
I just need you to understand me
Different doesn’t mean I’m weak
This is how I see

🌙 Bridge (Soft / Emotional)

One day I heard a word… Dyslexia
Finally, everything made sense, yeah

Sio kosa, sio failure
Ni njia tofauti ya brain yangu kufanya

Now I know who I am
Na sitaacha tena

🎤 Final Chorus (Stronger / Uplifting)

Si ujinga, si uvivu
Now I know I’m special kidogo
Na nita shine, nitaonekana
There’s a future inside of me

Si ujinga, si uvivu
Now the world will understand me
Different is my superpower
This is who I’ll be

🎵 Outro (Soft)

Si ujinga…
Ni mimi…
Learning tofauti…
And I’m proud to be me.
