Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, "Naacas don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
"Might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
"Naayaa, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Ilaahi's hands"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of Laxooox
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Abdi don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn' drop no Caano you know"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to Heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands
