(Soft, melancholic 808 thrum)
Hmmm, Masaiti…
My heart dey heavy, yoh.
Memories of us, they don fade away.
Just the wind blowing through the Copperbelt.
I walk the streets where we used to run
Now the shade feels colder than the sun
Remember how we planned the future bright?
Now I’m staring at the lonely night
You said we’d rise, together like a team
But now I’m waking from this broken dream
Masaiti knows the secrets that we kept
While the rest of the world silently slept
Oh, Masaiti, the silence is so loud
Searching for your face inside the crowd
We had the talent, we had the fire
But love is the fuel that failed to expire
Now I’m standing here, just me and my ghost
Missing the things I needed the most
Together we rose, but apart we fell
Living in this self-made heartbreak shell
I hear the drums, they don’t sound the same
Just an echo calling out your name
Did we lose our way in the daily grind?
Leaving all our promises behind
I see the youth, they’re chasing their goal
While a piece of mine has lost its soul
Wallahi, it hurts more than I can show
Watching you walk, but I can’t let you go
Oh, Masaiti, the silence is so loud
Searching for your face inside the crowd
We had the talent, we had the fire
But love is the fuel that failed to expire
Now I’m standing here, just me and my ghost
Missing the things I needed the most
Together we rose, but apart we fell
Living in this self-made heartbreak shell
Is this the end of the song we started?
Two lonely souls, now broken-hearted
I look at the sky, I look at the ground
Trying to find the peace that can’t be found
Yeah, Masaiti…
Just memories now.
We rise, we fall, we heal.
But tonight, it’s just the heartbreak.
Ayy, yoh.
Masaiti… gone.
