Slow

chords)
Yeah
They
said
I
wouldn’
t
make
it
out
They
said
the
road
was
too
long
But
look
at
me
now
This
is
for
the
hustle
This
is
for
the
journey
Started
out
in
Choma,
a
young
boy
with
a
dream
ZNS
Primary
School,
yeah,
that’
s
where
I
learned
to
scheme
Just
a
little
bit
of
hope
in
a
dusty
pair
of
shoes
Trying
to
find
a
way
to
pay
the
necessary
dues
Choma
Day
High
School,
I
kept
my
head
down
low
Watching
all
the
seasons
start
to
ebb
and
start
to
flow
I
was
grinding
in
the
shadows
while
they
rested
in
the
light
Building
up
the
fire
that
was
burning
through
the
night
Oh,
Allen
is
a
good
man,
rising
through
the
haze
Walking
out
the
darkness
into
brighter,
golden
days
From
the
city
streets
of
Lusaka,
I’
m
standing
on
the
peak
I
found
the
strength
inside
me
that
they
said
was
always
weak
Mother,
look
at
me
now,
I’
m
finally
breaking
free
This
is
the
life
that
you
always
wanted
for
me
Funny
how
the
people
who
never
gave
a
cent
Never
asked
about
the
hunger
or
how
the
nights
were
spent
Now
they’
re
circling
like
vultures,
looking
for
a
way
to
break
Everything
I
built
with
every
single
breath
I
take
They
want
to
kill
the
spirit,
they
want
to
dim
the
flame
Because
I
made
it
out,
they’
re
whispering
my
name
But
I’
m
stronger
than
the
envy,
I’
m
deeper
than
the
hate
I’
m
the
architect
of
glory,
I’
m
the
master
of
my
fate
Oh,
Allen
is
a
good
man,
rising
through
the
haze
Walking
out
the
darkness
into
brighter,
golden
days
From
the
city
streets
of
Lusaka,
I’
m
standing
on
the
peak
I
found
the
strength
inside
me
that
they
said
was
always
weak
Mother,
look
at
me
now,
I’
m
finally
breaking
free
This
is
the
life
that
you
always
wanted
for
me
I
see
the
hate
in
their
eyes,
but
I
keep
moving
on
Like
the
rising
sun
that
greets
the
breaking
of
the
dawn
I
don’
t
need
your
validation,
I
don’
t
need
your
gold
I’
ve
got
a
story
that’
s
waiting
to
be
told
Mother,
be
happy,
for
the
son
you
raised
is
strong
I’
m
right
where
I
belong
Oh,
Allen
is
a
good
man,
rising
through
the
haze
Walking
out
the
darkness
into
brighter,
golden
days
From
the
city
streets
of
Lusaka,
I’
m
standing
on
the
peak
I
found
the
strength
inside
me
that

Mother,
look
at
me
now,
I’
m
finally
breaking
free
This
is
the
life
that
you
always
wanted
for
me
Yeah,
from
Choma
to
the
city
lights
Keep
pushing,
keep
rising
It’
s
Allen
Good
man,
forever
Mother,
be
happy (

with
cinematic
strings)
