Chanda's Journey (Ba Messi's Son)
A song made by chandamwambakabwe
(Chanda Kabwe Kasuli, ayy)
Ba Messi, Mayo, natotela mukwai!
This is our story, yoh!
Living with a single mother, Ba Messi, we had to strive
She did everything just to keep her boy alive
2007, Kamenza Basic School, I started to write
Dreaming of a day when my future would be bright
No father there, but my mama was my guide
Walking through the dust with our heads held in pride
Chanda Kabwe Kasuli, do not lose your way!
Though the road is dusty, there will be a better day
Mayo Messi prayed for me, "My son, don't you cry"
We will rise up from the dust, we will reach the sky!
Natotela Mayo, we go survive!
2015 came, I passed my exam, I did so well
But the pocket was dry, only tears fell
No money in the house, olo kamuzulu was not there
2016, all year no school, looking at the air
But my spirit did not break, I kept the faith inside
For Ba Messi's sake, we took it in our stride
Chanda Kabwe Kasuli, do not lose your way!
Though the road is dusty, there will be a better day
Mayo Messi prayed for me, "My son, don't you cry"
We will rise up from the dust, we will reach the sky!
Natotela Mayo, we go survive!
No olo kamuzulu then, but look at us now
Ba Messi, your boy made it through somehow
Chanda Kabwe Kasuli, ayy... we stay strong!
