Yeah.
It’
s
a
long
road.
From
the
shadows
into
the
light.
This
is
for
the
ones
who
stayed.
Twenty-nineteen,
the
year
the
sky
turned
grey
The
day
you
left,
my
world
just
slipped
away
I
was
just
a
boy,
Mungwi
Technical (
the
l
metal
boys)
in
my
sight
Grade
eleven
dreams
shattered
in
the
middle
of
the
night
Dependent
on
the
man
who
gave
me
everything
I
knew
When
the
silence
took
you,
I
lost
my
compass
too
The
halls
were
cold,
the
books
were
heavy
in
my
hand
Trying
to
find
a
footing
in
a
shifting,
broken
land.
But
they
say
the
fire
refines
the
gold
inside
I
kept
my
focus
when
there
was
nowhere
left
to
hide
From
the
dust
of
the
road
to
the
man
I
see
today
B.
C.
rising,
I
found
a
brand
new
way
Yeah,
the
scars
are
deep
but
the
vision
is
clear
I’
m
standing
tall,
I’
ve
conquered
every
fear.
A
stranger
reached
out,
a
hand
I
didn’
t
know
Turned
into
family,
helped
my
spirit
start
to
grow
I
finished
school,
thought
success
was
at
the
door
But
the
reality
of
Mbala
hit
me
to
the
core
No
jobs
to
be
found,
just
slashing
weeds
for
a
wage
Stuck
in
a
cycle,
trapped
in
a
narrow
cage
First
born
son,
the
pressure
weighting
on
my
chest
In
a
place
full
of
tribes,
put
my
spirit
to
the
test.
But
they
say
the
fire
refines
the
gold
inside
I
kept
my
focus
when
there
was
nowhere
left
to
hide
From
the
dust
of
the
road
to
the
man
I
see
today
B.
C.
rising,
I
found
a
brand
new
way
Yeah,
the
scars
are
deep
but
the
vision
is
clear
I’
m
standing
tall,
I’
ve
conquered
every
fear.
She
walked
away
when
the
struggle
got
too
real
Left
me
when
I
couldn't
provide
for
her
yali
ni
heartbreak
ndekweba
boi
I
thought
it
was
the
end,
a
closing
of
the
gate
But
it
was
the
catalyst,
the
twist
of
my
fate
I
stopped
looking
back
at
what
I
couldn't
keep
I
started
building
while
the
world
was
fast
asleep.
Now
I
look
in
the
mirror,
I
see
the
strength
I
earned,
The
determination
to
prepare
From
every
bridge
broken
and
every
lesson
learned
I
am
B.
C.,
a
product
of
the
grit
and
strong
belief
The
broken
pieces
finally
making
me
whole
I
don’
t
need
the
fame,
I
don't
need
motivation
I
just
need
the
fire
that
burns
behind
my
name.
and
the
discipline
to
keep
moving
What
i
dreamt
kept
me
going
till
I
manifested
it
into
reality,
some
believed
i
can
and
majority
never
thought
i
could
I
stayed
disciplined
to
run
every
mile,
every
push
up ,
every
forward
roll ,
every
squat
and
every
fight
just
to
unleash
my
energy
even
when
everyone
thought
I
was
crazy
training
without
connection
I
believed
it,
prayed
about
it
till
I
manifested
it ,
everyone
got
shocked
coz
I
did
what
they
never
thought
I'd
do (
Proud
Commando)
But
they
say
the
fire
refines
the
gold
inside
I
kept
my
focus
when
there
was
nowhere
left
to
hide
From
the
dust
of
the
road
to
the
man
I
see
today
B.
C.
rising,
I
found
a
brand
new
way
Yeah,
the
scars
are
deep
but
the
vision
is
clear
I’
m
standing
tall,
I’
ve
conquered
every
fear.
Yeah,
I’
m
standing
tall.
Through
the
Mbala
winds
and
the
Mungwi
rain.
I
am
B.
C.
Believe
in
yourself,
never
let
anyone
distract
your
vision
And
this
is
just
the
beginning.
