Webale and the boy who was a man and the boy who is a man who was a man and the boy who is a boy man is the boy man I miss the way I you get the it man you will be the boy man you will always have to the be you
The opening lyrics of Watoto's Webale express a sense of longing and nostalgia for the presence of two individuals, Paul Emanuel and Maddox. The repetition of "Webale" throughout the rest of the song carries a tone of gratitude and appreciation. The third line of the song, "We miss y'all," reinforces the idea that the individuals being honored are not present, but their impact is still felt.
The subsequent lyrics of the song are more fragmented and abstract, emphasizing the emotional weight of the missing individuals. The phrase "the boy who was a man and the boy who is a man who was a man and the boy who is a boy man is the boy man" is cryptic and difficult to decipher, but it could be interpreted as a reflection on the complex roles and identities that people can take on throughout their lives. The final line, "I miss the way I you get it man you will be the boy man you will always have to the be you," adds further poignancy to the song's themes of loss and identity.
Overall, Webale is a tribute to individuals who have had a meaningful impact on the lives of the song's creators. The repetition of "Webale" throughout the song conveys a sense of gratitude and appreciation, while the more abstract lyrics convey a deep emotional resonance.
