Hope - Macky 2

You know I used to get irritated by

These street kids on the street you know

Every time I run into them they are like

Eh Bakamba tulyemo tulyemo

You know

But you see I realized that some of them

Do have a genuine story you know

I met this kid once he told me his story

And how he ended up on the streets

Chachinefye ai umfwa efyo anjebele ati

'Mvelani bakamba ine life niyolimba

Atate anafa ine nikali che mumimba

Ninakula na step-father oipa mutima

Nenzo sebenzela pokudya che kansima

Nenze na dream yo enzapo my beama

Manje banthu nenzanabo balenga yazima

Nenze na dream yo nkhalapo kateka

Manje ati 'Zakusukulu zinachepa'

Mufuna ziba why ninathaba kunyumba

Nenze ninalemosungiwa monga ni nkhumba

Huh 'banthu benangu nimfwiti'

Ndiye reason ninkhala mu street

You see Macky 2 hope foundation is a non-profitable

Non-governmental organization that

We put together just so we could help

Kids like that you know

I feel like I can use my music

And my influence to talk about things

That people are not ready to talk about

Like the welfare of my people

Like politics like gender-based violence

Like the time I found my sister crying

Naisa mwipusha ati 'ninshi'

Elo alanda ati

Pe enzo nifuna enzo niitana mungeli

Pe ananikwatila anayamba bakuseli

Panyumba abwela 02 nocokapa kuseni

Nipitamo nambama nikachaya complain

Amama aniuza kuti 'Limba mwana wanga'

But nimvela monga ningathabile chemusanga

Ah ninankhalila che bana

Ndaba uyu mwamuna chachendi ni satana

Bakuti 'ni mwambo' ati 'lithambi'

Ati 'Divorce Namayo Lisambi'

But sibaziba venipitamo

Kuvutika na misozi vachilamo'

You know I feel like

We don't have freedom of speech in our country you know

'Cause some times when you say the truth

It's always on ugly side

It's like people have specific

Things they wanna hear you know

But who am I to just keep quite

And let my people suffer

What kind of an artist

Will people remember me for if

I just shut up about things that really matter men

No fear no fall back

Am going in like moses tryna save my people

The system like the Pharaoh tryna slave my people

I bring peace on the flag am the eagle

So banthu banga kuvutika nakana gigo

I'm form a rich country where poor people live

But vizankhala mushe I believe

I sing songs of freedom

But on radio when playing

They looking for some danceable with a lot of rhythm

They say I should do another last song

They say I should do another club song

But I'd rather make a song

That will make my people strong

Lift them up take them to where they belong like

One zambia one nation

Ndise banthu bamozi

Tiyende Pamozi

Na Mutima Umozi

Words and song of my forefathers

This one is dedicated to all the freedom fighters

I believe they never died in vain

One day we'll be together

Let's fight for a better Zambia
