Chains on a Leader (Remix)
A song made by Emus Musonda
Ayy, yoh!
They want to lock up the voice of the people?
They arrested the leader for nothing, mukwai!
But you cannot cuff the truth
Free Bonter Shutu!
I was walking my path, doing no wrong
Helping the youth, making them strong
Then they come with the handcuffs, putting me in a cell
Just because I am leading, treating me like a rebel
They say I did this, they say I did that
But all of their talk is just empty and flat
They want to silence the copper belt king
But they don't know the hope that my people will bring
Mayo! Eish! They try to bring me down
But the crown stays firm in this Lusaka town!
They arrested Bonter Shutu for nothing at all
Just because I'm a leader, they want me to fall
But we say boza! That is a lie!
Our heads are held high, we touch the sky!
Ifwe, we stand, we never run away
Bonter is back, and we are here to stay!
They arrested Bonter Shutu for nothing at all
Just because I'm a leader, they want me to fall!
Muli shani to the haters who wanted me locked
The whole of Ndola and Kitwe was shocked
They thought I would beg, they thought I would cry
But a leader stands strong, looking them in the eye
No weapons, no violence, just truth in my hand
Fighting for the future of this beautiful land
Eating my nshima, preparing for the fight
They lock me in the dark, but I bring the light
Natotela to the real ones who stood by my side
We walk with no shame, we walk with our pride!
They arrested Bonter Shutu for nothing at all
Just because I'm a leader, they want me to fall
But we say boza! That is a lie!
Our heads are held high, we touch the sky!
Ifwe, we stand, we never run away
Bonter is back, and we are here to stay!
They arrested Bonter Shutu for nothing at all
Just because I'm a leader, they want me to fall!
They can lock the body, but they can't lock the mind
A leader for the people, the best you can find
From the streets of Lusaka to the global stage
We are breaking the bars, we are turning the page
Yoh! No case, no charge, just jealousy and pain
But after the storm, we are dancing in the rain!
Look at them now, they have nothing to say
The truth is a sun that will brighten the day
You tried to frame me, but God is too great
Now we are moving, we open the gate
Bonter Shutu, the name that they fear
Because my people's voices are loud and are clear!
They arrested Bonter Shutu for nothing at all
Just because I'm a leader, they want me to fall
But we say boza! That is a lie!
Our heads are held high, we touch the sky!
Ifwe, we stand, we never run away
Bonter is back, and we are here to stay!
They arrested Bonter Shutu for nothing at all
Just because I'm a leader, they want me to fall!
Ayy, yoh!
Free the mind, free the people
Bonter Shutu, the leader!
We say boza to the lies!
Natotela, Zambia!
We are out! Sharp!
