(Ayy, listen close)
Youth of the nation, stand tall
Don't let the chemicals catch you in a fall
Yo, we got a life to build, yeah
I see the brothers on the corner just losing their way
Trading all their dreams for a cloud, throwing it away
They say it’s escape, but it’s a trap, it’s a cage
Turning off the fire when you’re meant to be the page
We in Zambian streets, got a future to claim
Don't let the substance put your spirit in a frame
Mwaiseni to the truth, leave the boza behind
Keep your energy pure and keep focus in your mind
Rise up, don't let the poison take your soul
Keep your eyes on the prize, stay in full control
Yeah, we shining bright, Zambian pride on the track
Walk away from the shadows, never looking back
We choose life, we choose peace, we choose light
Keep your mind crystal clear, everything alright
Nshima on the table, family heart is so strong
Why you wanna dim your light, tell me what went wrong?
The provinces are shaking, we need leaders, not ghosts
Don't be a casualty, we need you at the posts
It’s a long road ahead, you need fuel for the race
Don't substitute the grind for a fake temporary space
Ifwe, we are the strength, we are the sound
Don't let the weight of the powder keep you on the ground
Rise up, don't let the poison take your soul
Keep your eyes on the prize, stay in full control
Yeah, we shining bright, Zambian pride on the track
Walk away from the shadows, never looking back
We choose life, we choose peace, we choose light
Keep your mind crystal clear, everything alright
Yoh, it’s not about the hype or the rush of the night
It’s about the legacy you leave in the light
Break the cycle now, find a better way to play
Don't let the substance take the glory of your day
So when you hear the beat, let it pump through your veins
Natural highs only, breaking all the chains
We want the doctors, the teachers, the kings of the scene
Living out the life that we see in our dream
Natotela for the ones who decide to be free
Passing the message to the next, to the family
Clean living, that’s the code, that’s the way we move
Zambian youth, yeah we got nothing left to prove
Rise up, don't let the poison take your soul
Keep your eyes on the prize, stay in full control
Yeah, we shining bright, Zambian pride on the track
Walk away from the shadows, never looking back
We choose life, we choose peace, we choose light
Keep your mind crystal clear, everything alright
Stay clean, stay focused
Yeah, Zambian youth
Don't let it slip away, no way
Keep it real, keep it live
(Ayy, yoh)
