Mélangeant zoulou, anglais de rue, tsotsitaal et sesotho, il transforme le cri de libération en une fête massive. L’intro parlée installe un ton militant, les bruits de chaînes qui tombent symbolisent la rupture avec l’oppression, et le drop amapiano/gqom déclenche un déferlement d’énergie.

(Intro – spoken word sur beat minimal, avec bass sub et claps lents) "We break the chains… ngoba asiy’kufuna izibopho. From kasi to the world, we free." (log drums arrivent en montée, bruit de chaînes qui tombent au sol) (HOOK – drop lourd et euphorique) "No chains – we run the game!" From ekasi blocks to world fame Hands high, feel the flame Ain’t nobody keep us tame (Verse 1) Ngiphuma ez’thunzini, now I shine bright No fear in my step, we own the night "Sharp-sharp", crew on lock We break the system, we shock the block Sesotho pride, Zulu heart From day one, we play our part No gate, no wall, no lock, no key Ayeye! This life’s for me (Pre-Chorus) We dance like we just got paid We fight with love, never fade Ubuntu in every song Together’s where we belong (Chorus) No chains – on my mind, on my soul From kasi dream to global goal Log drums hit, bassline roar We are the wave they can’t ignore (Verse 2) Swazi winds on my face tonight Freedom tastes so damn right Trap hats mix with amapiano roll We control our story, we play that role Eish wena, it’s bigger than me It’s for the youth, it’s legacy Every drop, every shout, every beat It’s the sound of our victory street (Bridge – montée + chœurs de foule) Crowd chant : "No chains! No chains!" Réponse : "We free! We reign!" Drop final plus intense, kick lourd et synthés aiguisés (Final Chorus + outro) No chains – no fear in the light From Jozi sun to Lesotho night We shine forever, nothing can bind Freedom’s the beat we leave behind
