chanda mbao – zambia lyrics

[verse 1: chanda mbao]
place called zambia where i was born
then i left here man, it was so long
slaving for the man, felt so wrong
so i had to bring it, bring it, bring it back home
black man fails cause he has no base
economic base, always begging for the cake
always trying to get a crumb, always asking for a raise
high time we own our own, what will it take?
first thing, we got to read
then question what we see
patriotism means to me
much more than just the things we eat
for me, it’s an ideology
truth is, we suffer from mental poverty
we need self+rеflection and honesty
break thе chains of government robbery

[chorus: scott]
cause i’m from zambia, my motherland is my home
cause i’m from zambia, my love will never grow old
cause i’m from zambia, my people have to come
cause i’m from zambia, the heart of africa

[verse 2: chanda mbao]
remember the days?
one zambia, one nation
now they’re trying to hijack our generation
we’re sliding into tribal politics
party leaders won’t even acknowledge it–
i’m just trying to see the common sense
you make people defensive if you’re on the fence
so address the issue, man, state it clear
one zambia, one nation what we want to hear
man, i kind of miss the kk days
i was barely there but our parents say
you could come from the village
still educate
yourself, and find better days
meritocracy is a thing of yesterday
now you only go to school if your parents paid
i went to private school but i don’t celebrate
because…our whole nation needs to elevate
[chorus: scott]
cause i’m from zambia, my motherland is my home
cause i’m from zambia, my love will never grow old
cause i’m from zambia, my people have to come
cause i’m from zambia, the heart of africa

[verse 3: scott]
sometimes i stare outside my window and i see the sun
ici ni calo canga, this is my town
i take pride in all my people, every colour, every tongue
i have hope for all my people, i know freedom has been sung
came from a long line of kings and queens
need to refocus priorities
we can’t go on if we don’t ask the questions
we just have to be honest and learn all the lessons
