Here are the lyrics:
 
Haba haba
Music: Beyond51, Big City
Lyrics: Stella Mwangi
 
When I's a little girl, my grandma told me
That I could be just anything I wanted to
When I's a little girl, my grandma told me
That I could be just anything I wanted to
She said that
Everything I work for, everything I wish for
Everything I look for, it is right in front of me
Everything I work for, everything I wish for
Everything I look for, it is right in front of me

And she said 
Haba haba hujaza kibaba
Haba haba hujaza kibaba
Haba haba hujaza kibaba
Haba haba hujaza kibaba

When I's a little girl, my grandma told me
That it's the little things in life that's gon' make me happy
When I's a little girl my grandma told me
That it's the little things in life that's gon' make me happy

She said that
Little by little fills up the measure
Don't ever give up, keep on moving
Little by little fills up the measure
Don't ever give up, keep on moving

Haba haba hujaza kibaba
Haba haba hujaza kibaba
Haba haba hujaza kibaba
Haba haba hujaza kibaba
