Mama Malawi

265, Mama, you been on my mind You been on my mind, I said you been on my mind 265, Mama, you been on my mind You been on my mind, I said you been on my mind Oh. Mama Malawi, Happy Mother's day It's time we had a heart to heart, I got some stuff to say See I ain't visit you this year, I wish I did though But circumstances meant I had to stay away Tell me, ever since I left, you ain't really looking in good health We thought a change in the leaders running things would help But back in May we know what happend the elections were mad We were dreaming now it's time to face the facts See, most were disappointed, only few were surprised though Many didn't vote they said they'd rather sit idle and Really man that ticked me off cause instead of helping All they really did is help precipitate the cycle (Here we go again) So we headed from here? Peace or disaster? They tried asking Jane but they didn't like her answer And who gon' speak up? We need to face our problems Never thought that I would do this but I guess somebody has to 5 months of ineffective demonstrations Some people saw it as a chance for them to loot So what's the key we have to educate the nation To kill a weed, you have to cut it at the root Last week I had a convo with the homie, damn Now he somebody that I never thought I'd see cry And home is home, and home is best is what they told me Yet, so many wanna leave and I can see why Lately as a country it's like we just keep on taking Ls We wanna put the blame on everyone except ourselves We kill our brothers who be living life with albinism So tell me how South Africans and us are really different The hypocrisy chilling, look how we treating our women It's like we ain't even peeping that we the villains I got to ask what are we actually doing? Do we know what has to change for us to get what we pursuing? If you're a male you ain't allowed to say you're sad Talking 'bout your feelings makes you less of a man That's what they teach us when we're young then get surprised That so many of us broken cause we keep it all inside That kind of mindset is toxic Effect is detrimental take a look and you'll see If you teach 'em to be stoic then you ruin their hearts Listen our forefathers made mistakes that I refuse to repeat Listen twenty odd years ago I was born At the Queen Elizabeth Maternity Ward 38 weeks, a happy baby boy Little did he know the world would try to take his joy Only half my years on this earth were in Malawi I been exposed but they don't want to see my vision yet I been around different cultures, I've seen a lot things Undestand that this alone can bring a disconnect Between my people and I, we try to see eye to eye The try to say we aint the same the only is differece is I Don't accept the mess as normal I refuse to be silenced Man in the mirror looking the finest Leadership's important but the power's with the people When we peep that we can be the change we need to Lord knows the kind of struggle that we been through Everybody hustles but together, look, we lethal Out there, they regard us as a joke The system rigged to always strip us of our hope We been babied enough, I think it's time for us to grow I'm at the point I feel we have to let 'em know Man, I'm tired of the picture that's painted because they telling lies They dont know the truth they only see what's televised The picture painted is tainted I'm tryna change their minds That's why I hope that when they hear this they gon' recognise that Good things they do come from you I got to show them the truth, I said Good things they do come from you This a message to the youth the truth is I'm just tryna prove To the sons and daughters of the 265 What happens to your future only you decide To the sons and daughters of the 265 What happens to our future only we decide Yo, it's time to get together like the siblings that we are We all blood vessels of the same Warm Heart I said we need to get together like the siblings that we are We all blood vessels of the same Warm Heart (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na) 265, Mama, you been on my mind You been on my mind, I said you been on my mind 265, Mama, you been on my mind You been on my mind, I said you been on my mind 265, Mama, you been on my mind You been on my mind, I said you been on my mind 265, Mama, you been on my mind You been on my mind, I said you been on my mind
