MADE IN ZWE

Some dash weh belly but you carry me for nine
I got your back and I know you got mine
We might be alone but I know weʼll be fine
Mama youʼre a pretty rose that wonʼt die on the vine
Jah Jah give me blessings and I know you are mine
Straight from above my star you ah shine
Youʼll never me leave alone, youʼll never leave me behind
If anything you always try and keep me in line
I am not frightened to say I am frightened of what we have become
You were thriving in delusion of grandeur
But I placed you on that pedestal so
I donʼt know whoʼs to blame
«Dzimba Dzemabwe», we love boasting
Reviling in what you are and what you could become
What hurts the most is a generation lost
Or are we found again?
I made a decision Iʼm repping the flag
Bulawayo ‘till I die City of Kings a young Prince
The colour is blue the badge is black and white
Bosso ngenkani, Mzilikazi, Lobhengula
I was raised in the same city Joshua died in
This flag is everything my soul resides in
I pay homage to the war vets and all the fallen soldiers
Amandla ngawethu, they can never hold us
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, this flag our flag this Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, iflegi lethu lesi Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, mureza wedu wemu Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyyah eyyah eyyaaah
Tisu vazukuru vakafirwa nemadzitateguru
Vakavaka nyika kwete nezvi dhinha
Kasi nemabwe kasi kune vamwe vanofunga pamwe
Nyika yakaora, yaka nʼgora ine ngura
Asi zvinotanga nema born freeme
Saka simudza maoko nemureza uyu
Ropa rakayerera, migodhi yakatekeshera
From Zambezi to Limpopo kubva Mutare kusvika Hwange nhasi ngazvitange!
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, this flag our flag this Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, iflegi lethu lesi Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, mureza wedu wemu Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyyah eyyah eyyaaah
Mummy told me this land used to be so beautiful
Do u recall days the dollar was so critical?
Pitiful they used our country like a cubical
You so and so’s what have u done with the minerals?
The pastor tells me thatʼs what the yellow on the flag is for
Li bhal’u4 but u got things to answer for
Answer us or seli funa lathi s’cithi egazi
I’m sure lani u knew ukuthi bes’buyi es’khathi
You are my family, my nation
My African inspiration
And I believe that one day
We will all come together to wave this flag
Everybody say yeah, say yeah, say yeah
If you repping for the 263
Say yeah, say yeah, say yeah
Ooohh oh oh oh ohhh
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, this flag our flag this Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, iflegi lethu lesi Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyah ah ah ahh, mureza wedu wemu Zimbabwe
Eyyah eyyah eyyah eyyaaah
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
Heyyah eyah ah aahh
I forgot, I forgot that you were made out of blood and bones
Dzimbadzemabwe that made me too
I miss and love savannah soil sun kissed with golden grass
Zuvaravira was the soundtrack to my childhood
Yet I am here, I am here still standing on foreign ground screaming
«mother can you hear me?»
Mother can you hear me?
Mother can you hear me?
Ngai simudzirwe zita rayo
Inzwai miteuro yedu
Ishe komborerai isu mhuriyayo
Ishe komborerai, ishe komborerai Zimbabwe
Ishe komborerai, ishe komborerai Zimbabwe
Now flys the flag, our nations glory
We live in pride inside our hearts
As we all stand to build our nation
This land our land our Zimbabwe
This flag our flag our Zimbabwe
Everybody say yeah, say yeah, say yeah
From Zambezi to Limpopo kubva Mutare kusvika Hwange nhasi
Ngazvitange!
