Title: Changes (Africa Rising)

[Intro]
Yeah…
Tikufuna changes… real changes…
Not the same old stories… ayi…
Africa rising… open your eyes…

[Hook]
We need changes (eh-eh)
Tikufuna kusintha (yeah)
Same pain, new day but the struggle still alive
We need changes (tell me why)
Ana akulila still we turning blind eyes
We need changes…

[Verse 1]
Growing up ndimaona ma lies in the news
Africa painted broken, but they hiding the truth
They took gold, they took land, left scars in the soil
Now they shocked we still standing after all that turmoil

History twisted, rewritten clean
But the blood in the ground still tells what it seen
From chains to trade deals—same game, new face
Colonial code still running the race

Tikuti enough, we flipping the script
No more begging hands, now we building with grit
Mindset shift, yeah the youth woke up
No more silent suffering, now we speaking abrupt

Tongue twist truth like “they took then they teach”
While we reach for the future they said we can’t reach
But listen closely, rewind that line
If you catch what I’m saying, you’ll know it’s our time

[Hook]
We need changes (eh-eh)
Tikufuna kusintha (yeah)
Same pain, new day but the struggle still alive
We need changes (tell me why)
Ana akulila still we turning blind eyes
We need changes…

[Verse 2]
Look at Traoré, mwana wa dziko
Not lining pockets, he working for people
In less than two years—see the vision unfold
Roads getting built, new homes rising bold

Ma hospital standing, infrastructure strong
Future in motion, correcting the wrong
Not talk, not hype, but action we see
A blueprint for leaders on what they should be

Ibrahim Traoré, lynchpin ya change
Not playing the game, he’s rewriting the game
Leaders take note—this ain’t business as usual
The youth too sharp, man, thinking is crucial

Tikayang’ana bwino, zinthu zasintha
Old tricks won’t work, anthu azindikira
You can’t fool the masses with empty speech
Cause knowledge today is within their reach

[Pre-Hook]
Game ain’t the same, youth got the flame
If you not for the people, we calling your name
Tikuphunzitsa those who pretend
This revolution? It don’t need to bend

[Hook]
We need changes (eh-eh)
Tikufuna kusintha (yeah)
Same pain, new day but the struggle still alive
We need changes (tell me why)
Ana akulila still we turning blind eyes
We need changes…

[Verse 3]
From Sankara’s fire to Lumumba’s cry
Their spirit alive, never truly died
Thomas Sankara spoke truth to power
Now we see that courage reborn in this hour

Patrice Lumumba—voice so loud
Now it echoes again through the African crowd
What we expected is showing in him
A leader for people, not chasing a whim

Tongue twist thought like “leaders misleading, feeding on bleeding”
While people keep pleading but still they’re believing
Now flip it, reverse it, rehearse it again
If you catch that pattern, you breaking the chain

Tikuti forward, no going back
From the village road to the city track
Africa rising, can’t silence the tone
We building the future that
