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
