Intro
Hey! Hey! (heyi ya)
JK Kapaciti — Ayub Obong, oh-oh
Light it up, light it up, yeah (oh)
Verse
From Lira City, raised with a steady stride
Born on October 17, 1998, that day the stars aligned
Notebook in his hand, a pen that won’t stay still
Chasing truth on deadline, chasing answers for the will
Journalist by calling, he writes what time reveals
A political lens, breaking down the seals (uh-huh)
Scientist with reason, measuring the why (yeah)
Mixing data with a dare and a fire in his eye (heyi ya)
Pre-chorus
He speaks, (speak) the room leans in
He reads the signs, (read) he knows where to begin
Calm in the storm, steady like a drum
Tonight we sing for him, come on everyone
Chorus
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — hey! (happy)
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — oh! (oh-oh)
Raise your voice, raise your hands, celebrate the man
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — yeah! (yeah, yeah)
Verse
From morning briefings to late-night maps
He’s tracing patterns where the world collapses and adapts
A mind that asks the tough things, a heart that keeps the beat
He brings the facts to light and turns the noise to heat (skrrt)
Friends and family gathered, laughter fills the room
We cheer for every chapter, every lesson, every tune
Lira City’s own, making moves, standing tall
Ayub, we see you — answering the call (yo)
Chorus
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — hey! (happy)
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — oh! (oh-oh)
Raise your voice, raise your hands, celebrate the man
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — yeah! (yeah, yeah)
Bridge
Candles flicker, wishes whispered (wish, wish)
Stories shouted, memories glittered (go, go)
May your pens keep writing, may your questions land
May your curiosity hold steady like a band
All the cheers, all the love, all the steps you’ve traced
We toast to your tomorrow, to every move you’ve braced (cheers)
Chorus
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — hey! (happy)
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — oh! (oh-oh)
Raise your voice, raise your hands, celebrate the man
Happy birthday, JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — yeah! (yeah, yeah)
Outro
JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — we sing it loud (we sing it)
JK Kapaciti, Ayub Obong — proud, proud, proud (proud)
Oh-oh, hey, hey (heyi ya)
