[INTRO — Deep, Emotional Spoken Voice] Young
people,
listen!
Love
is
beautiful,
but
love
without
wisdom
can
become
a
lifetime
of
tears.
This
is
Uncle
Fred
MUJEMU,
from
the
Pearl
of
Africa,
Uganda.
Choose
with
your
heart,
but
never
abandon
your
mind!
[VERSE 1 — Melodic Afrobeat] Flowers
will
fade,
and
sweet
words
will
pass,
Beauty
won't
hold
when
the
storms
arrive
fast.
Phones
and
gifts
cannot
purchase
respect,
A
beautiful
wedding
cannot
guarantee
success.
Don't
chase
a
face
and
forget
the
heart,
Don't
build
a
future
without
a
plan
from
the
start.
Choose
honesty,
patience,
responsibility,
and
truth,
The
habits
you
build
today
will
determine
your
youth.
[CHORUS — Strong Crowd Response] Love
is
not
enough! (
Choose
wisely!)
Beauty
is
not
enough! (
Choose
wisely!)
Money
is
not
enough! (
Choose
wisely!)
Character
and
wisdom
must
lead
the
way!
[VERSE 2 — Firm, Touching Advice] Young
lady,
your
body
is
not
proof
of
love,
You
don't
owe
anyone
what
they
keep
dreaming
of.
Never
surrender
your
boundaries
just
to
make
someone
stay,
For
promises
can
disappear
and
leave
you
in
dismay.
Young
man,
don't
mistake
jealousy
for
care,
Don't
promise
a
mansion
when
no
plan
is
there.
Be
truthful,
work
hard,
and
stand
on
your
feet,
Love
is
partnership,
not
a
game
of
deceit.
[BRIDGE — Spoken Word, Music Softens] And
please,
my
young
people,
hear
this
truth:
Don't
take
a
sheep
into
your
home,
Expecting
it
to
become
a
goat.
Love
cannot
automatically
change
someone's
character,
Ambition,
discipline,
or
responsibility.
Choose
the
person
you
know
today,
Not
merely
the
person
you
hope
they
will
become
tomorrow.
[FINAL VERSE — Deep, Serious, Emotional] Education
may
not
define
the
worth
of
a
soul,
But
shared
understanding
helps
two
partners
reach
a
goal.
Don't
take
academic
gaps
for
granted;
discuss
them
with
care,
Especially
when
fifteen
years
of
schooling
separate
the
pair.
If
a
woman
has
studied
fifteen
years
more
than
her
man,
Don't
assume
love
alone
will
make
them
understand.
Neither
her
education
nor
his
should
bring
shame,
But
unequal
expectations
can
put
pressure
on
the
game.
Without
respect,
shared
purpose,
and
a
future
they
both
choose,
One
may
feel
like
a
servant
while
the
other
holds
the
rules.
A
relationship
must
never
make
one
partner
feel
employed,
Like
a
sugar
mummy's
sponsored
companion,
not
a
spouse
enjoying
Mutual
respect,
equal
dignity,
and
a
future
built
as
two.
Value
those
who
advise
you,
even
when
truth
feels
tough,
You
haven't
seen
every
road;
sometimes
love
is
not
enough!
[OUTRO — Spoken, Bass Fading] Choose
character
over
appearance.
Commitment
over
empty
promises.
Wisdom
over
pressure.
And
partnership
over
pride.
This
is
Uncle
Fred
MUJEMU,
The
Pearl
of
Africa,
Uganda.
Final
advice:
Never
take
an
academic
gap
for
granted,
especially
when
a
woman
has
more
than
fifteen
years
of
schooling
beyond
her
partner.
Education
alone
does
not
determine
a
successful
marriage,
but
differences
in
maturity,
expectations,
ambition,
and
life
experience
must
be
faced
honestly
before
commitment.
