ZAMBIAN EAGLE ft. Lavito Lyrics

I'm staring out the window, while the plane decides to climb

I scale my thoughts, I think about this corner in my mind

The memories fade in, the stewardess is laughing at this smile of mine

I can't recall the time, I felt this kind of prime (BRRAAP)

Here they just sympathize,

Here I don't get ostracized

Here we talk to emphasize

Running deep with family ties

Zambian side is centralized

Get chitenges to customize

Family push me to verbalize

Words so strong so I'll pulverize

Every damn kid that told me to go back where I came from,

Shut your bitch ass up

Fuck your thinking and fuck your upbringing,

Hell nah, we ain't making up

Stealing copper, stealing gold,

Stealing diamonds, stealing souls

And don't think I don't see it

I got the eyes of an eagle, now look at me float (Float!)

I been taking breaks, escaping to the great lakes

Missing all my siblings, yeah my organs used to ache

Ignorance is bliss, weaponized against my people (My people)

Still we live with issues (issues)

Still we taste the freedom (freedom)

Muji byepi?

Bulongo tu

Amiwa Kaonde muntu waswa mema, ee

(Talk to these n*ggas)

Obewa nganyi

Zambia, my mother,

Yeah she gave me three (Three!)

Mommy Lucy, Mommy Joy and Mommy Charity (Momma!)

Handsome, no other,

Yeah I'm talking bout me

Melanin got me blessed like that, yeah I'm livin' free

Connect my place of genesis, I'm walking with the Elephants.

Walk these lands forever, you ain't witnessing an Exodus

Come from royalty, I'm talking black excellence

Don't speak in our place, in a way that vexes us

'Cuz who the fuck are you? (WHO?)

Don't try stepping through my blood, through my crew

Through my gang, through my troops

Through my fam, through my heart

How you playing fair when you get a head start?

How you saying light when you spewing too dark?

How you gon' shake when I make your brain spark?

How you acting fake, when the play didn't start?

Frames fall from the walls, all the pieces have seen some cuts

No my pain is a small detail in the grand scheme, now let's discuss

Ignorance creates disgust

Murders are more than just unjust

Childhood confusing as fuck

My time, I create my own luck (Damn)

I been taking breaks, escaping to the great lakes

Missing all my siblings, yeah my organs used to ache

Ignorance is bliss, weaponized against my people

Still we live with issues

Still we taste the freedom

I been taking breaks, escaping to the great lakes

Missing all my siblings, yeah my organs used to ache

Ignorance is bliss, weaponized against my people

Still we live with issues

Still we fly like eagles

Iwe ndani!

Uhu, that's what I'm talking about

Ati shani apo? Ee

(BRRRRAAAPPP)
