As most of you might have heard, Jabu "Javas" from Malaika has passed away yesterday.
Can we dedicate this article to him, his family, fans and fellow group members Tshidi and Bongani...

I dedicate this song by Mariah Carey to all who are mourning....

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
It's something more than saying "I miss you"
But when we talked too
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

[Chorus:]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the whole world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye [3x])
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

[Chorus]

(bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandfather
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

15 Jul 2008 02:56

Hayini guys my point is he had it for too long and it could have been prevented since it IS a curable disease...so what made him not seek help???? mna if i contracted a curable disease the logical thing to do would be to seek help, then again we dont have the same thinking singabantu i guess thats what makes us different!!!!!!

@ hlehle........is it any of ur business if what kind of TB that he had J-Girl. Why people always have something to say when someone died? U have said enough by saying May his Soul Rest in Peace, now is not the time to ask that.

People lets just focus on how are we going to do,like going to the funeral and so forth,and stop asking questations,cause we are all going to die one way or the other,plc,cause God knows everything,
