A song made by Emus Musonda
Ayy, ayy
Leader yakho, leader yakho
Natotela ko
Muli shani, muli shani
Am bonter shutu, boza ba chalwa
Begging allested for nothing at all
I didn't just because am a leader
Na mayo, natotela ko
Ifwe tuli pamodzi, ifwe tuli strong
But nayuni ba fwe bane bashabe
No cap, I never ask for pity
I rise up on my own, solo kale
My heart dey solid like copper from Ndola
These accusations flying but ndi shaba
I lead with justice, I lead with truth
Why dem dey blame me for their own roof?
Ayy, yoh!
Leader yakho, leader yakho
I no beg for nothing, nothing at all
Leader yakho, leader yakho
I stand tall, I stand tall
Natotela ko, natotela ko
For the people, for the soil
Leader yakho, leader yakho
I no bend, I no coil
These lies dem spreading like fire in Lusaka
But I know my conscience, it clean, it clear
I didn't steal, I didn't cheat
I didn't break the code that we keep
My leadership rooted in Kalindula sound
In the drums of our ancestors underground
But now dem allest me for things I never do
Just because I lead, they think it's true
But mwaiseni, mukwai, I rise above
I give my people nothing but love
No shortcuts, no corruption in my blood
Just real work, real grind, real thud
Yoh!
They see the position, they see the crown
But they don't see the weight, the tears falling down
I carry my people upon my shoulder strong
I never asked for praise, just to right the wrong
Na Zambia, na Zambia, you are my heart
I play my part, I do my part
No begging, no pleading, no falling apart
Leader yakho, from the very start
So spread your accusations, throw them all
I stand here innocent before God's call
I didn't just because I'm in this seat
I earned my respect through the work I complete
From Kitwe to Ndola, from town to town
They know me by action, not just my crown
So allest what you want, I no fear
My legacy written crystal clear
Am bonter shutu, ndi mwaiseni strong
I belong here, I been here long
Leader yakho, and I dey proud
My people know me, they sing it loud
Ayy, yoh, leader yakho!
Leader yakho, leader yakho
Natotela ko, natotela ko
I no beg for nothing, nothing at all
Leader yakho, I stand tall
Ayy, yoh, ayy
Leader yakho
