Lyrics
Verse 1
Bora hata nimshukuru Mungu Kwa hivi nilivyo,
Maana hata Kuna wengine hawajafika nilipo,
Bora hata nimshukuru Mungu Kwa hiki nilichopata,
Maana hata Kuna wengine wamekosa kabisa.
Tabasamu njoo,Nataka nibadiri
Wangu mtazamo niishi kitajiri
Na wewe maumivu njoo,Nataka nibadiri
Wangu msimamo niishi kijasiri,
Ile habari ya kulialia Kila siku nakataa (Nakataaa).
Na kama nilisainiwa mkataba nafuta aah,
Ndugu tulowasaidia wakaficha makucha (Makucha).
Wao walipofanikiwa wakataka kutushusha aah!!!

Verse 2
Na nilipo huenda Kuna wengine wanapatamani,
Zamani huko nilishakataliwa na watu wa nyumbani,
Kile kidogo ninacholalamika lakini nimepata,
Wengine huko wamepambana wamekosa kabisa.
Kumbe ni Bora kuridhika na hiki,
Nilichopata ndio yangu ridhiki,
Mungu ni Bora yeye hatabiriki,
Amekupa hicho mi amenipa hikii.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Bora Kushukuru” frames gratitude as a deliberate answer to disappointment, comparison, and pain. The singer looks at what God has already provided and rejects a daily pattern of complaint. Rather than denying hardship, the lyric acknowledges rejection, betrayal, and unmet hopes, then chooses courage and contentment. Its recurring statement that others may long for the same circumstances shifts attention from what is absent to the value of what has been received.
The song’s emphasis on thanking God in present conditions aligns closely with biblical teaching about gratitude in every circumstance. Its language of learning to be satisfied with a modest portion also resembles Paul’s account of contentment across changing situations. Hope remains active rather than passive: the singer expects progress while refusing to let unanswered questions govern the present. In this way, thanksgiving becomes both worship and a disciplined perspective, grounded in trust that provision differs from person to person but still comes under God’s care.
