Lyrics

[male vocals] Eish,

check

the

vibe

Asambe,

let's

talk

about

the

reality

Listen

up,

sho!

My

people

of

Solwezi,

open

up

your

eyes

now

Four

years

have

passed,

hear

the

broken

promises

loud

They

came

in 2021

with

a

smile

and

a

scheme

Promised

a

university,

just

a

beautiful

dream

We

are

here

in

North

Western,

waiting

for

the

light

But

the

construction

site

is

empty,

nowhere

in

sight

They

say

they’

re

coming,

but

it’

s

just

the

same

old

tale

Every

single

season,

the

delivery

starts

to

fail

Oh

Solwezi,

these

promises

are

just

lies

We’

re

tired

of

the

stories,

we’

re

tired

of

the

disguise

Where

is

the

university?

Where

is

the

road

we

need?

Just

another

empty

harvest

from

a

hollow

seed

Yebo,

tell

me

true,

what

are

we

meant

to

do?

When

the

vision

that

they

painted

never

makes

it

through

They

looked

at

Mulemba

Smelter

Road

and

said

so

bold "

A

big

hospital

is

coming,"

or

so

we

were

told

Go

there

today,

see

the

beacons

standing

still

Not

a

single

brick

laid,

no

power

of

the

will

It’

s

nothing

but

illusions,

playing

with

our

pride

Taking

us

for

granted,

nowhere

left

to

hide

Sharp

sharp,

we

see

the

patterns,

we

see

the

game

Different

elections,

but

the

results

stay

the

same

Oh

Solwezi,

these

promises

are

just

lies

We’

re

tired

of

the

stories,

we’

re

tired

of

the

disguise

Where

is

the

university?

Where

is

the

road

we

need?

Just

another

empty

harvest

from

a

hollow

seed

Aweh,

tell

me

true,

what

are

we

meant

to

do?

When

the

vision

that

they

painted

never

makes

it

through

Kipushi

to

Solwezi,

they

promised

us

the

way

Four

years

in

the

wind,

and

still

it’

s

just

decay

No

asphalt,

no

progress,

just

dust

in

the

air

Does

anybody

listening?

Does

anybody

care?

Eish,

it’

s

heavy

on

the

heart,

but

we

keep

our

stance

Waiting

for

the

truth

to

get

a

fighting

chance

Four

years

of

waiting,

four

years

of

the

spin

We

need

to

see

the

action,

let

the

work

begin

Don't

bring

the

flowery

words,

bring

the

machine

Let

the

concrete

rise

and

the

vision

be

seen

We

are

resilient

people,

we

deserve

the

best

Not

just

the

talk,

but

a

put

to

the

test

Let’

s

go,

rise

up,

keep

the

pressure

steady

When

the

people

wake

up,

they

better

be

ready

Oh

Solwezi,

these

promises

are

just

lies

We’

re

tired

of

the

stories,

we’

re

tired

of

the

disguise

Where

is

the

university?

Where

is

the

road

we

need?

Just

another

empty

harvest

from

a

hollow

seed

Sharp

sharp,

tell

me

true,

what

are

we

meant

to

do?

When

the

vision

that

they

painted

never

makes

it

through

Four

years

later,

and

the

story’

s

the

same

Solwezi

deserves

more

than

this

game

Keep

your

eyes

open,

let

the

truth

ring

loud

Asambe,

we’

re

standing

tall

and

proud

Sho,

peace.
