Melodic reggae song describing a friendship of these men Viv Maravanyika and Cheers Maringa that spans over 30 years from Tafara to Mabvuku hoods and Luton to London
Lyrics
(hey-ya) Viv and Cheers, yeah, Viv and Cheers
(oh-oh) 30 years and we're still here, uh-huh
We grew up where the dust would sing, Tafara sun on our skin
Kickin' cans, spillin' plans, two boys with a grin
Mabvuku corners taught us how to stand tall, hand in hand
We learned to laugh through the rain, learned to share what we had
Viv with the steady grin, Cheers with the louder laugh
Riding tomorrow on a rooftop, map folded in our backs
Mama called us trouble, but trouble had our name
We swore we'd be brothers no matter where the road would aim
From the kopje to the flats, from the market to the gate
We made a promise on a Sunday, we never changed our fate
(never changed) ooh-ooh, (never changed) yeah-yeah
Tafara to Mabvuku, Luton to London town
Viv and Cheers together, feet on the ground
Tafara to Mabvuku, Luton to London town
Viv and Cheers together, feet on the ground (feet on the ground)
Viv and Cheers together, feet on the ground (feet on the ground)
Then the boat and the passport, Luton called his name
New skies, same stories, new weather, same flame
Cheers sent a letter folded twice, said "Boy, keep your head right"
Viv sent back a picture with a sunrise in the night
Sunday roasts and Sunday prayers, phone calls down the line
Jokes about the old tin roof, the kuku and the time
Wins and losses, newborns, funerals and song
We carried each other steady — when one fell, the other strong
From the minibus to the train, from the heat to the cold rain
We kept our rhythm, kept our pride, kept our names the same
(kept the names) oh-oh, (kept the names) yeah-yeah
Tafara to Mabvuku, Luton to London town
Viv and Cheers together, feet on the ground
Tafara to Mabvuku, Luton to London town
Viv and Cheers together, feet on the ground (feet on the ground)
Viv and Cheers together, feet on the ground (feet on the ground)
Remember the night we danced on rooftops (dance, dance)
When the power went and we made our own lights (ah-ah)
Remember the fight for a little more money (money, money)
But still we shared the last plate, still we ate alright
Oh-oh, oh-oh, hey-ya (hey-ya)
We got manners from the struggle, we got laughter from the fight
When Cheers hit a rough patch, Viv put his jacket on
When Viv missed home the most, Cheers sang him an old song
Weddings with too many guests, tearful eyes at the grave
They walked each road together, the bold and the brave
Now the kids know the stories, now the streets know the names
They point and say "Those two, they play a different game"
Not about money or fame, it's about how they stay
Brothers across the miles, in every single way
From the corner where we first met, to the skyline across the sea
We kept the fire burning low, kept the promise, kept it free
(kept it free) ooh-ooh, (kept it free) yeah-yeah
