Ayy,

This

Fat
Albert-type
bounce—
Playful,
funky,
funny,
but
still
heavy
on
the
bass.
Like
a
cartoon
beat
jumping
in
the
streets
of
Zambia!
Ba-ba-bam!
Boogie!
From
the
compound
to
the
city,
from
the
dust
to
the
dollars—
tizapanga
ndalama,
imwe!
Mwayamba?
Let’

Ninshi

plan.
Ninshi

Bamwe

So

No

Small

I’

Not

for
the
family
line.
Respect

When
the
money
comes,
don't
lose
your
muscle.
Nshila

I
walk
with
pride,
When
pressure
comes,
I
don't
run
aside.
Bamene

Ifwe

No
more
begging,
no

Tulefwaya

Kwacha

head,
Family
