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 the smile of mine

I can't recall the time I felt this kind of prime

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

I've 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

Muji byepi?

Bulongo tu

Amiwa Kaonde muntu waswa mema, ee

(Talk to these niggas)

Obewa nganyi

Zambia, my mother, yeah she gave me three

Mommy Lucy, mommy Joy and mommy Charity

Handsome, no other, yeah I'm talking about me

Melanin got me blessed like that, yeah I'm living 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

Cause who the fuck are you?

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

Through my gang, through my troops, through my fam, through my heart

How you playin' fair when you get a head start?

How you saying light when you spewing too dark?

How you gonna shake when I make ya 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've 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've 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 talkin' about

Ati shani apo, ee!

(BRRRRRAAAAA)
