Where we have come from as Zambian people and where we are going

lyrics

Hook
We ain’t talking bout De la rue, its Giesecke and Devrient on this avenue x 4
Verse 1
Wells it 50 years on away from colonial rule but we're still being governed by colonial tools/
Monetary policies, when will set our minds free - they said being African is poverty disease/
The age of Ebola - the age of choice so I can pick between a Benz or Corolla/
Friends on my shoulders; messiah complex - bottled water soon they're gonna bottle sex- so what is next/
No flex zone - music's digressed no wonder we're so vexed homes/
In old age homes, when will the cancer catch up from minutes these cellphones/
We already living this, we're not living bliss, so heaven call - Angels fall that I never missed /
These are the rantings of a columnist/

Hook

Verse 2
Zambia we're Fifty years young, let us groom our land/
We can do so much - with both feet and hands/
Tell our leaders they needs kulibe va chikonko/
kulibe vo kudya, tiza liza ma mpoto/
Yes indeed the land is rich where resources lie/
So take the land and grow your dreams let resources lie/
Child of the motherland, it’s your birth right/
Abuse the environment, destroy the Earth right?
Being a Black man is not a curse right? It’s a mental struggle we fight get out the Trap!
So what is Rap - it’s an Expressive form - made to feel like an outsider - so what’s the norm?
These are the rantings of a columnist/

Hook x 8
