Lyrics
[Chorus]
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Unayetenda ni wewe, wewe
Unayefanya ni wewe, wewe
Unayetenda ni wewe, wewe
Unayefanya ni wewe, wewe
[Verse 1]
Nimejaribu kuhesabu
Yale Bwana umetenda
Zimenishinda hesabu
Nimekubali mimi mjinga
Nimekosa majawabu
Kiasi gani unanipenda
Kumbe ukiniacha sekunde moja mimi
Ni nyama yao
Na baraka zako ni Pro Max
Zimejaa zinafurika
Haungoji nikate tamaa
Nikikuita unafika
Husubiri kikao cha kamati
Jambo lako kukamilika
Au ruhusa ya fulani
Ili ndio unitendee
[Pre-Chorus]
Na magumu yajaponifika
Nitaimba Hosanna, Amina
Na magumu yajaponifika
Nitaimba wimbo wa sifa
[Chorus]
(Baba) Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Unayetenda ni wewe, wewe
Unayefanya ni wewe, wewe
Unayetenda ni wewe, wewe
Unayefanya ni wewe, wewe
[Verse 2]
Upo upande wangu
Hata kipindi cha makosa yangu
Na leo naleta kwako sauti ya shukrani
Maana umenidekeza sana mimi wako last born
Na baraka zako ni Pro Max
Zimejaa zinafurika
Haungoji nikate tamaa
Nikikuita unafika
Husubiri kikao cha kamati
Jambo lako kukamilika
Au ruhusa ya fulani
Ili ndio unitendee
[Pre-Chorus]
Na magumu yajaponifika
Nitaimba Hosanna, Amina
Na magumu yajaponifika
Nitaimba wimbo wa sifa
[Chorus]
(Baba) Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Zipokee shukrani zangu Baba eeh
Unayetenda ni wewe, wewe
Unayefanya ni wewe, wewe
Unayetenda ni wewe, wewe
Unayefanya ni wewe, wewe

Meaning & Inspiration
Zipokee is a song of thanksgiving that directs gratitude to God for acts of care too numerous to count. The recurring request that the Father receive thanks gives the song the character of an offering of praise. Its verses describe blessing, timely help, patience with human failure, and God’s nearness when difficulties arrive. Everyday expressions and playful comparisons make the testimony conversational, but the central claim remains clear: God is the one who acts, provides, and answers.
The lyrics closely echo the biblical call not to forget the Lord’s benefits. They also portray praise as a response that continues during hardship, not only after circumstances improve. The promise to sing ‘Hosanna’ and a song of praise when troubles come connects thanksgiving with trust. Rather than attempting to calculate every blessing, the narrator admits that the total exceeds comprehension and responds with a grateful voice. Zipokee therefore combines personal testimony with direct praise, celebrating God’s generosity, accessibility, and faithful support.
