Hook (Diana Samkange)
Mavara angu azare ivhu iwe iyeyy yeyaah
Mavara angu azare ivhu iwe iyeyy yeyaah
Iya hwerendeya yeya yeh (hwerendeya yeya yeh) x4
Verse One (Damien Marcus)
My son there are some things that I would love to teach you
The things that if you listen I your father will rejoice too
You can't be complaining that your president oppress you
Yet back home your conduct with your family is abusive
Son if you could listen to your father when I speak to –
You, I will rejoice and then my heart will delight too
You see, truth is always righteous and a lie is evil
But lying to yourself my son is even double lethal
You say you won’t discuss it so you try avoid the topic
Truth is hard to swallow so you'd rather chew the gossip
You love to stereotype, you love to say that whites are racists
But musoro mako mune pfungwa dziri tribalistic
You love to say that people in the South are xenophobic
‘Man to man is gross' you say that’s why you homophobic
You see you hate the chichi like Hitler hated Jews
Better choose to fear God, you better off evilphobic

Mavara angu azare ivhu iwe iyeyy yeyaah
Mavara angu azare ivhu iwe iyeyy yeyaah

Verse Two (Outspoken)
I'm a walking contradiction
I resemble the hero and the villain
The poverty stricken, the image of greed within the system
The victor and victim, always harping on my opinion
But hardly allowing myself opportunity to listen
The vilified, the hunted black African man
The femicide committing homophobic sycophant
I pick a stance, but bigoted in my advance
The gas lighting false flagging is my attack
No woman's safe, I objectify what you portray
‘Not all men rape' remains the mantra that I claim
My fight it valid, I repeat it, my fight is valid
My right to comfort far outweighs how you been challenged
My focus myopic but I draw from communal struggles
But non-committed to support you and above all
I know the difference from what's right and what's wrong
But always angle it from the perspective that I come from

Mavara angu azare ivhu iwe iyeyy yeyaah
Mavara angu azare ivhu iwe iyeyy yeyaah

Verse Three (Synik)
What if the things that we uphold as tradition
Conform to an order that was forged in oppression
Patriarchal domination, melanated subjugation
Religious indoctrination, military occupation
An education system built to keep us all sedated
We seek equality with those positioned for the apex
While stomping those below us, guess we've fallen for the matrix
Toppled dictators, when the goal was just replace them
Divorced from our essence, with borderline depression
Internalised the lie that we're dope from what we purchase
Consuming is the purpose, if you’re broke then you’re worthless
Condemning those with less as a sort of moral failing
Celebrate celebrities, deifying athletes
Tobigger mbinga while they steal from what we have to eat
Worship the rich who operating where the taxes weak
Then judge the poor when they jacking and they packing heat
It's contradictory…
