[Intro]
T Paul on this…
Mwana soomili…
T Paul on this…
Mwana soomili…
[Verse 1]
Ku ghetto life si easy, my guy
Everyday struggle just to survive
Ndalama zero, pressure high
Young boys asking, “why, why, why?”
Ma streets full of bad decisions
No direction, just wrong missions
Alcohol, ma drugs, confusion
Sin taking over generation
They stole my phone, I felt that pain
Could’ve fought back, gone insane
But I said “Lesa, take control”
Peace came down and healed my soul
Mama praying every night
Asking God to make things right
Now I see with different eyes
Lesa light in darkest times
[Chorus]
Life in the ghetto, things gotta change
Too much pain, too much shame
Everyday anthu losing their way
But Lesa calling, come today
They stole my phone mu ghetto last night
Still I pray, ndili strong inside
Abena ghetto we need new life
Bwelela kwa Yesu (come to Jesus) tonight
[Verse 2]
Way on the ground, I keep moving slow
Hopes in my heart, a bright goal to show
Kids on the corner, dreams on hold
But faith in me grows, I’m learning to grow
We rise from the dust, we choose a new path
Help from above, we feel His warm wrath
No more fear, we walk in His light
Lesa guiding us, turning wrongs into rights
[Chorus]
Life in the ghetto, things gotta change
Too much pain, too much shame
Everyday anthu losing their way
But Lesa calling, come today
They stole my phone mu ghetto last night
Still I pray, ndili strong inside
Abena ghetto we need new life
Bwelela kwa Yesu (come to Jesus) tonight
[Bridge]
Ndili ndi ulemu pa mtima, I’m not done
Ndikuyenda patsogolo, with His son
Chorus in my heart, a steady drum
Lesa is with me, we’ve just begun
[Chorus]
Life in the ghetto, things gotta change
Too much pain, too much shame
Everyday anthu losing their way
But Lesa calling, come today
[Outro]
Moyo wiri pa mzere, tikulemba dziko
With faith and love, we rise and glow
